Pet Pampering, at Your Service
Pet care experience
Hello! I have been a pet-lover and owner since childhood. My family had a dog as a pet when I was young, and I was thrilled! Beginning in college, I had cat as pets and since then have had the pleasure of loving many cats, who I find give love back in return. Over the past five years or so, since I retired from my job as an English teacher, some of my friends who have cats or dogs have asked me to pet sit for them. As the word spread, I have gotten more clients, and am lucky to be able to spend time with several wonderful pets--feeding, walking, giving meds, staying overnight, and having lots of fun. Let me help you, too! I care.
Reviews
Wonderful pet sitter! I so appreciate Lucinda, she is so reliable, punctual, and helpful
Thanks Lucinda for taking such great care of our animals, and our home!!
Lucinda was great!
Lucinda is responsive, trustworthy, and flexible. She has stayed overnight at our home with our dog and cat, and she’s wonderful with them. I’ve had difficulty on occasion with the Rover app and Lucinda went out of her way to contact Rover herself and help me. She goes above and beyond! I highly recommend Lucinda.

Safety, trust & environment
I am currently living in an apartment in Portland, Oregon. Pets are not allowed in my apartment complex, so I cannot do pet care in my home. However, I am available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting at my clients' homes. To establish safety, trust, and environment, I schedule a "meet and greet" with the client and pet to set up clear expectations about the pet care. I also make sure that the client reviews the Rover Community Guidlines so that the client is well informed. After booking, I communicate often during the pet care about how things are going and whenever anything arises that needs the client's input. I also provide photos to the client during the pet care to keep them updated on how their pet is. I make certain to communicate with the client after the pet care to check that I took care of their pet according to their expectations. I want to do an excellent job!
Information Lucinda Z. would like to know about your pet
Information that is important for me to know ahead of time is whether your pet has any special needs or behaviors I need to consider and account for so that I can give your pet excellent care.
A typical day
I love to stimulate your dog, both physically and mentally. We will play lots of games and check out all the sights and smells in the neighborhood. A special place to explore near my apartment is a big park with both paved trails as well as nature trails. There is a creek running through the park and also several small ponds to explore.

Lucinda can watch in your home
Availability
My current routine is quite open. I'm retired and don't have a job outside the home, so I can be as flexible as needed by my clients.
