I work an office job 9-5 Monday to Friday, with 1 working from home day. My dog currently goes out with a dog walker therefore I understand the trust you must have for them! I am free on weekends and spend my days going for long walks with my dog, and treating him to puppachinos.

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets, I focus on keeping them comfortable, safe, and following their normal routine as closely as possible. I take time to learn each pet’s needs, including feeding schedules, walk routines, energy levels, and any special instructions. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. I provide a calm, clean environment with plenty of attention, regular walks, playtime, and downtime. I make sure pets are supervised, have fresh water at all times, and are fed according to the owner’s instructions.

Information Lucy D. would like to know about your pet

I would love to know about your dog, what kind of walks they enjoy, on lead / off lead, are they friendly with other dogs, anything that can trigger them on walks, what is their recall like, do they have any allergies etc etc

A typical day

I love keeping pets happy, engaged, and comfortable while in my care. Activities will always be tailored to your pet’s personality, age, and energy level. For dogs, this can include relaxed neighborhood walks, sniff-focused walks for mental stimulation, playtime with toys, light training reinforcement (like sit, stay, or leash manners), and plenty of affection and positive attention. If your dog enjoys it, we’ll also have games like fetch or gentle indoor play. For cats and smaller pets, I focus on interactive play, enrichment activities, calm companionship, and maintaining their normal routine so they feel safe and stress-free. Above all, my goal is to make sure every pet feels cared for, exercised appropriately, and genuinely enjoys their time with me 💛

Your Dog’s Home Away From Home — Cockapoo Approved

Pet care experience

I’ve been caring for dogs for several years, primarily through owning my own 7-year-old cockapoo and helping friends by dog-sitting and caring for their pets when needed. I handle daily walks, feeding, playtime, basic grooming, and providing a calm, safe, and loving environment. Through caring for my own dog, I understand the importance of routine, patience, and individual attention, and I treat every dog as if they were my own.

Lucy is a brilliant dog sitter, who I trust very much with my spaniel. He is very energetic so Lucy always takes the time to take him on extra walks, play time, and fills him with treats. Sometimes he doesn't want to come home !! Would definitely recommend, whether this be for boarding or nice walks.
