A checkup per day keeps messes away
Pet care experience
I have owned a well-loved Yellow Labrador for 7 years. I currently work at TailWaggers, and have prior experience with working with dogs and making sure they're safe and happy. Any dog I watch will be exercised, stimulated, fed safe foods, and be given lots of pets and rubs.
Reviews
Lucy has always had a passion for animals. Growing up on a farm gave her an appreciation and respect for the place animals have as our friends. Her greatest preparation for animal care came in the form of Finola, a high spirited golden Lab, field bred but kept in our home, her constant companion. Lucy studied training and care, educating the rest of the family along the way. Her next educational experience was a part time job at a doggy day care. She moved to an even more immersive position at a larger center with full time hours. She connects with the "babys" as she lovingly calls them. Her patience and passion for animals, especially dogs, makes her an excellent candidate for caring for your special pet.
Lucy has a unique gift of "getting" pets. A lifelong animal lover, she showered affection on pets of all sizes and shapes since childhood. Now, she's combined that passion with knowledge, having studied and researched animal behavior, as well as working in professional settings in the realm of grooming, boarding, and daycare. She's responsible, hard-working, endlessly patient and intuitive, and I would happily leave my pet in her care for any length of time.
Lucy is everything a pet owner could ask for and more. She is very kind and considerate of any living creature, especially dogs. I have firsthand seen her care and handle many dogs at once in a skillful, safe, and loving manner; including when they misbehave. Aside from her outstanding efforts, she is also very knowledgeable about a wide variety of breeds, and understands much about animal anatomy and their behavior. 10/10 would trust her with my Husky any day.

I make sure to mind my own business when in a client's house, and respect their property. I will clean up any bodily waste in the house and the lawn.
Information Lucy B. would like to know about your pet
What is the breed? Boy or girl? Does it have medical or behavioral problems? Is it properly dewormed and on medication for flea and ticks? What is its routine?
A typical day
I like to stimulate the dogs with games, tricks, walks, etc. To make sure they feel safe and well-rested is my priority. If toys are provided, I can encourage play as well with the dog.
