Active adventurous and addicted to canine cuddles!
Pet care experience
My name is Lucy and I can't live without dogs! I am currently studying for my MSc at the Royal Veterinary College in London, and volunteer with the RSPCA walking and training rescue dogs with behavioural issues. I love spoiling dogs and giving them the affection they deserve, but I am also very assertive and sensible. I have been dog-sitting for several years, love all breeds and can handle any dog no matter what size or temperament. My favourite method of training involves positive reinforcement, and I love using my clicker. It's so rewarding to treat dogs with food, toys and attention when they get something right. Because I'm a young, active person I love challenging, muddy walks through all kinds of terrain. If you choose me to care for your best friend you'll be choosing a dog addict who never shuts up about dogs, be warned! I offer dog walking, dog sitting, drop-ins and much more (also available for cats although conditions apply)

Thanks! Lars came back very chilled ?
Could not have asked for a better person to care for Millie while we were away. Lucy took time to meet Millie and really made an effort to make Millie comfortable with her. We got daily updates about how Millie was getting on, including some photos, which really helped to reassure us. We have future trips booked and will book Lucy for these, without hesitation. Thank you, Lucy.
Lucy looked after our cat while we were away and as usual she was great, we came home to a happy cat:)
Friendly, Good knowledge and most of all for me..... reassuring! First time using a pet/dog service for our baby snoop, so was fairly anxious about the whole thing. Found Lucy through Rover, and after a 10 min chat on the phone she put my worries to bed. Have just picked up Snoop, and he is happy, has been walked, fed and played with. Already planning future dates for Snoop to stay round at his new friends!!! Thank you for a brilliant service and hope to be using you in the very near future ?
About Lucy F.
Communication
Skills
Information Lucy F. would like to know about your pet
How friendly is your dog towards other dogs and people? What motivates your dog the most? (eg treats, affection, toys) Does you dog have any medical conditions or allergies? I am particularly experienced with sighthounds and bully breeds, but I will not reject any dog
A typical day
Depending on the dog you can expect: -gentle, quiet walks along leafy green streets -long and tiring muddy walks in the forest -intense frisbee/fetch sessions in the park I also love making KONGs to keep dogs busy and using other feeding enrichment methods
