Highlights
Pet care experience
PhD student who loves animals
My family have always owned cats (and a tortoise!) and taken care of neighbours/friends cats, dogs, guinea pigs, and rabbits so I have plenty of experience. I also used to work on an equine yard where I was in charge of the resident cats, dogs, sheep, horses, and cow so I'm not fazed by large animals. I enjoy long walks so would be happy to walk your dog in the local area if needed, but also like to stay indoors and play with cats and dogs.
Cat care experience
Lucy also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I will always check with the owner on their pets preferences and how to handle them before visiting and will always make sure I am in the vicinity of your pet. When dog walking I will always have an eye on your dog in case anything happens.
Ratings and reviews
Second time Lucy stayed overnight with our cat Collie. Top marks again for arriving early, communications and photos. It was 2 nights this time and we were super happy! Well done Lucy thank you!
100% positive review for Lucy. She is kind, friendly and you can tell loves cats. Thank you Lucy for taking care of our cat Collie, you kept our minds at ease knowing your there looking after her and we really appreciate the updates and photos for the first overnight stay. Already booked the next!
Lucy was absolutely brilliant! She took such good care of Monty, took the time to meet him and learn about his routine beforehand, and followed my instructions to a tee. Lucy kept me updated throughout with photos and videos, and I felt relieved going away knowing that Monty had been left in such good hands! I would absolutely recommend Lucy to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter! Thank you :)
I booked often to Lucy , if she is available she already knew Maximus and fully recommended..
Lucy looked after the kitties again while I was away for a night, and as always we couldn’t be happier! The cats are very comfortable around her and whenever I return there are no signs of stress at all. Lucy is super tidy, careful and has adapted to all changes I requested with ease. Thankful to have my babies in good hands ♥️
Lucy was great with our Dachshund. Betty can be very nervous with strangers but she made friends with Lucy so quickly, really liking Lucy’s calm nature.

Schedule
I am currently a PhD student at Durham University so, for house sitting, I will be out of the house 8am-6pm for work and unable to come back at lunchtime. This means I can only house sit dogs Friday evenings to Sundays. For drop ins I can arrive 8.30am or earlier for 30 minutes (8am for 1 hour drop ins) and after 6pm on weekdays.
- Cats0 to 7 kg7 to 18 kg18 to 45 kgDogs over 1 year oldLucy can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
- Please let me know about any special needs or behaviours I will need to account for, I don't have any training but would always be open to providing additional care if necessary. This is alongside the walking requirements and food so I can properly care for your pet.
