Pet care experience

I am not immune to puppy dog eyes

I’ve been taking care of animals since I was eight years old and got my first cats. Since then, I grew up with 2 dogs who are seniors now and a total of 5 cats! I love all animals and I feel very atuned to their needs. I’ve been sitting with Rover for almost a year now and I have experience with all types of pets!

Lucy definitely made my dog feel comfortable. I appreciated the communication since I received a few pictures a day of my dog. Lucy did a great job and made sure to give my dog her medicine. Thank you!

House Sitting • Jul 01, 2026

Lucy was fantastic! She sent pictures of our animals while we were away. She handled our high anxiety and very loud obnoxious dogs like a pro. Our two dogs typically hate strangers and take a while to warm up to people, but even during the first day they became best buddies. We have an indoor bunny that she also took care of. I will definitely be booking her again, hopefully, for any future vacations!

Drop-In Visits • Jun 14, 2026

We booked Lucy for drop-in visits and housesitting. She was very personable and responsible. She bonded with the pets and left everything in great shape! I would definitely recommend her and will book her again when needed.

Safety, trust & environment

I am very comfortable with animals and will listen to what they want and need. I am an attentive listener and will follow your every direction down to the letter. I know dogs and cats can be sensitive and the smallest change in routine could cause distress so I make sure that I understand what they need to be comfortable.

A typical day

My apartment complex has a nice yard area where we can go outside and play. It’s not fenced in, but I’d love to walk them around outside. I am also a big fan of co-napping with pets, so curling up on my couch or bed with them would be a dream.

Let me know about any behavioral or special needs that your pet might need. I’m not going to claim to be an expert on dealing with animals with special needs, so if your pet needs extensive care, I may not be the best fit.
