Highlights
Pet care experience
Trustworthy & loving dog sitter
Growing up in the countryside, animals have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up with family dogs and have since spent years caring for animals of all shapes and sizes and feel very at home around them. I also have my own dog, who is one of the loves of my life! With many years of experience, I’m confident handling pets of all ages and sizes and understand the importance of consistency, safety and attentive care. Friends, family, neighbours and clients have trusted me to walk, feed and care for their pets for many years, and I first began house sitting at 17. Since then, I’ve looked after a wide variety of animals, each with their own personalities, routines and needs. I understand how important it is to know your pet is safe, happy and well cared for while you’re away. Whether your dog loves long walks, prefers quiet company, or simply someone to stick to their usual routine, I will care for them as if they were my own. I’m always happy to send regular photos and updates throughout my stay, so you can relax and enjoy your time away with complete peace of mind knowing your pets are happy, settled and receiving the very best care in safe and capable hands. Please note that my own dog will never accompany me on walks, visits or house sits, so your pets will always receive my full attention and care.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
Whether your dog loves a nice long walk, playtime with their favourite toys, plenty of cuddles, basic training, or simply having some company during the day, I’m happy to tailor my care to suit their personality and routine. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, feeding, daytime companionship and overnight house sitting. If you’re heading away for a night or a longer trip, I’m also happy to provide extended stays so your dog can remain relaxed and comfortable in the familiarity of their own home. I’ll make sure they’re well looked after, given lots of love and attention, and kept to their usual routine as much as possible. My aim is always to make your dog feel happy, safe and cared for, while giving you peace of mind that they’re in experienced and trustworthy hands.
Ratings and reviews
Lucy has been looking after our 2 dogs and cat when we go away or are out for the day for a number of years, and she has always been brilliant! One of our dogs can be quite anxious when we leave, but is always able to settle and feel at home with Lucy. She is brilliant at communicating and sending updates, which is great peace of mind. She has always been reliable, goes above and beyond! She has grown up with animals and is incredibly knowledgeable, caring and a complete natural with all animals, our pets adore her! I couldn’t imagine a better person to take care of our pets and I always feel they are in safe hands with her!

Schedule
I’m self-employed, work from home and am currently between projects so have a little extra time on my hands and happy to help out where needed. Because I run my own business, I can be flexible with my time so am happy to work around your schedule and pets routines as best as possible. I can sometimes be flexible around weekends for walks and drop-ins, so please do still get in touch even if you see a date unavailable. I’m more than happy to discuss these directly with you on a case by case basis.

- Every pet is different, so I’d love to hear about their individual routine, personality and any special requirements they may have. Whether that’s medication, dietary needs, anxieties or behavioural quirks, favourite walking routes, or anything that helps them feel safe and comfortable, I’ll do my best to make sure they’re cared for exactly as you would at home.
