Professional Dog Walking, Pet Sitting & day care
Pet care experience
Hi my names Lucy. Im 35 years old, living in Billingshurst, West Sussex. I have been a professional dog walker since 2009. So have plenty of experience looking after dogs of all shapes and sizes! I have experience of rescue dogs and can deal with dogs who suffer from anxiety/nervousness. I do long walks in all weather's! and I only walk a maximum of four dogs at a time. I have volunteered at Battersea Dogs & Cats home and the Mayhew Animal Home. I have studied with the Cambridge Institute of Dog Behaviour and Training, and have passed with three certificates. One in understanding canine care & Behaviour, advanced dog on dog aggression & the other is in common canine behavioural problems. So I can offer basic obedience training & behavioural advice as an extra service! Dogs are always cared for with love and attention when they are looked after by me! As dogs deserve the best!
Reviews
Lucy, was excellent with our rescue dog and looking after our home while we were away. She was very considerate excellent communicator and patiently built what seemed like a very strong bond with our dog Poppy. I’d highly recommend her and will be going to her first when ever we are away again.
Lucy was amazing with our high spirited German Pointer while we were away on holiday. Baxter adores her and his behaviour has improved after his week with Lucy. She also fed our fish and watered the garden. Would definitely recommend her. Thank you, Lucy!
Lucy did a fantastic job, we came home to a happy and relaxed dog thanks!!!
Highly recommend Lucy

Safety, trust & environment
I always make sure dogs are safe and happy and have fresh water at all times. I make sure they are well exercised and have plenty of chews at home. Dogs are never left alone if boarding 24 hours for longer than 3 hours. Dogs with serious separation anxiety are not left alone for longer than 30 minutes. Dogs are only looked after with other well socialised dogs and I never have more than two dogs in the home. I am CRB checked and have my own insurance that includes public liability. If I have keys to people's homes I store them in a safe place in my home and nobody else has access to the keys. I always make sure when leaving the owners property it is securely locked, including windows, back doors and curtains are closed. I also can water plants and look after pet fish, hamsters and chickens!
Home
Information LUCINDA H. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your dog has any behavioural problems, is good with other dogs, has an allergy, or has a health condition. Due to looking after two dogs at a time from separate households it is essential your dog is friendly and not aggressive towards other dogs. I have a no aggressive dog to dog policy. For obvious reasons for top safety and welfare of the dogs I take care of.
A typical day
I love to stimulate your dogs physically and mentally. We play ball, go swimming, do training exercises like recall, sit and stay. And also I stimulate your dog by taking them to a variety of parks and country walks.
