Safety, trust & environment

I prefer to care for pets in their own home where they are comfortable in their own environment. I really feel this is less stressful for the dog.

Information Lucy D. would like to know about your pet

Please share information about your pet's personality, temperament, age, their likes and dislikes. Their positive 'feel good' words (good boy, nice job, etc). Any health issues should be shared please.

A typical day

The neighborhood i live in is very walkable, park, coffee shops, safe areas with cross walks, I typically walk 2-5 miles a day. Long walks are my expertise.

Pets

i love dogs!

Pet care experience

I have had dogs since the age of 7, i dog sit (and cat sit) for neighbors and have excellent references. My husband and I own a home in Normal Heights, our three dogs vary in sizes, weights, breeds. Our lives and our home are better with our three dogs in it. My dogs have increased my capacity to love and i truly enjoy spending time with pets. I love all breeds but most familiar with French bulldogs, i have had frenchies before they became trendy :) I am very familiar with their needs, their temperament, etc. ***UPDATE - During summer and due to high heat temperatures, i will not walk dogs but will consider early walks before 9AM or check ins for quick potty walk. I will refuse to walk a dog when temperatures are high, their comfort and enjoyment comes first. ADDITIONALLY, if your pet requires medication - it MUST be disclosed prior to my acceptance, i must be made aware of special needs in regards to medical conditions and administering medication up front! Please also consider your parking situation when booking pet sitting, if there is absolutely no place to park, please request a sitter within walking distance of your residence.

Lucy has been amazing! It’s the first time I’ve used Rover to have someone care for my cat, Ava and Lucy has been phenomenal. She took the time to come meet my cat ahead of her first visit during my trip and provided excellent updates (with photos!) on how Ava was doing. Would absolutely recommend Lucy for anyone looking for someone to trust with their fur baby!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
