The cool aunt your pet never had!
Pet care experience
What sets me apart from other sitters is my personalized approach to pet care. I have extensive experience not only in basic pet sitting but also in specialized areas such as training puppies and providing senior care. With a deep understanding of the unique needs of each pet, I strive to create a tailored experience that ensures both their physical and emotional well-being. I'm genuinely passionate about providing top-notch pet care services on Rover. Each furry friend brings a new opportunity for me to share my love and expertise in pet care. Whether it's training puppies, providing companionship for seniors, or simply offering a safe and fun environment, I'm thrilled to go above and beyond to make sure every pet has a paw-some experience under my care.
Reviews
Lucy took such good care of my baby! Gave meds as instructed and just loved on my girl. Normally my pup comes back anxious after staying away, this time she seemed comfortable w Lucy. Thanks again, hope to use you again!
Lucy was an amazing dog mom for us while we were away. She treated our dog like her own and spoiled him with many walks and lots of love. We cannot recommend Lucy highly enough and will definitely be using her again in the future.

Safety, trust & environment
Safety, trust, and providing a nurturing environment are my top priorities when caring for pets, whether it's in my own home or at the client's residence. In my home, I ensure a pet-friendly environment by removing any potential hazards and creating designated areas for rest, play, and meals. I maintain a clean and sanitized space to promote health and well-being, paying special attention to litter boxes, food and water bowls, and bedding. When caring for pets in the client's home, I prioritize maintaining a familiar and comfortable environment for them. I adhere strictly to any instructions provided by the pet owner regarding feeding schedules, medication administration, and house rules. I also take extra precautions to secure the home, ensuring that doors and gates are properly closed and that the pet cannot access any hazardous substances or areas. Regardless of the location, I prioritize building trust and rapport with the pets under my care. I spend quality time interacting with them, providing affection, and engaging in activities that cater to their individual needs and preferences. Communication with pet owners is also key, as I keep them updated on their pet's well-being and any notable events during my time with them. Overall, whether in my home or the client's home, I strive to create a safe, loving, and nurturing environment where pets feel valued, comfortable, and cherished.

A typical day
A typical day in my care is filled with a variety of fun and engaging activities tailored to the preferences and energy levels of the pets I'm watching. In the morning, we might start with a brisk walk or a game of fetch to get their energy flowing and set a positive tone for the day. After some exercise, we'll settle down for breakfast, followed by some interactive playtime with toys or puzzle feeders to stimulate their minds. During the day, depending on the pet's needs, we might engage in activities such as training sessions to work on new skills, a visit to the local park for some outdoor exploration, or simply lounging together for some quality cuddle time. In the afternoon, we'll have another round of playtime or a leisurely stroll to enjoy the fresh air and sunshine. If the weather permits, we might even indulge in some water play or a relaxing sunbathing session in the backyard. As the day winds down, we'll wind down with some gentle grooming or massage to help them relax and unwind. We'll then enjoy a nutritious dinner together before settling in for the evening, perhaps with a cozy movie night or bedtime story to end the day on a sweet note. Overall, each day is filled with love, laughter, and plenty of opportunities for pets to thrive, explore, and enjoy life to the fullest under my care.
