Hi, my name is Lucinda. I bring ease and confidence to your pets with a natural calmness and patience about me, which helps fur babies feel comfortable and safe. As a kid, I loved to spend time with my dogs, my horses, the rabbits and chickens. And for most of my life continued adopt and parent different breeds of dogs, gaining mutual respect and giving basic obedience training, and to walk nicely on a leash. Throughout my life I've owned poochies as small as 8 lb Terrie-poo, a young active golden retriever, a springer spaniel, an American pitbull and on up to a 130 lb Samoyon husky Shephard. I've spent time observing dogs personalities, behaviors and how dogs communicate with eachother and with humans. So grateful I had such successful experiences with so many different breeds, from puppies to seniors. Through my adult life, dog parents have expressed their gratitude for my care and help with their fur babies, saying that I have a dog whisper way that not many people have. I even helped a lady who would get dragged to the ground by her deaf very high energy Dalmatian Springer Spanial mix.

Safety, trust & environment

While caring for your baby(s) in your home, we discuss and I listen to the needs as to the specific instructions needed for your fur baby(s). Your scheduled time for feeding, for medication, & potty needs and ect... All dogs are not the same and I understand that each have their own needs and their own likes and dislikes. I can assure you with confidence that I am mindful of safety at home and on our neighborhood walks.

Information Lucinda S. would like to know about your pet

No need to worry if you dog(s) have special needs. Fur baby is deaf or going blind or some mobility issues? I've had experience, I can help with that (as long as they are not to large). Let me know and we can discuss what your needs are.

A typical day

Usually, after your doggy and I have gotten acquainted I will give them a good mini message, (butt rub), I love how pets respond to that. Does your fur baby(s) likes to play outside and to get a nose wiff of all the smells or have a good time playing with their toys? I love to give them some fun.

Lucinda was amazing with our doggos! 💗 She is a great communicator and made us feel at ease being away from our home and fur babies. She is a gem and truly went above and beyond to keep us updated on how everything was back at home and made sure our fur babies were very well cared for. 💗 We will absolutely be looking forward to working with her again! 🐾

Lucinda was such an amazing pet sitter! She was so good with our 2 dogs and cat from sending us pictures and videos daily to even bringing them Christmas presents 🎁 Her communication was great and I felt at ease knowing she was there watching our pets. She deserves more than 5 stars ⭐️. I definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter ♥️
