Pet care experience
Canine BFF
I have been offering dog boarding services in my home since 2020. We have a 5 year old who loves to throw balls and toys and a 7 year old who loves to brush so best if your dog is comfortable around little ones! We can arrange a meeting beforehand if you’re not sure. I'm an energetic, trustworthy and friendly Kiwi American with a strong affinity with animals but particularly dogs. My family had 3 pups growing up, Zoe and Jag, who were keeshonds and Demi, who was a golden retriever. I was the lucky one who got to shampoo, groom, feed, walk and play with these beauties! I have many years of experience caring for all kinds of dogs in New Zealand and since I moved to Petaluma 9 years ago I've been lucky enough to look after so many different kinds of dogs, including brand new puppies full of beans, gentle old timers, nervous rescues, ball/frisbee/treat/snuggle obsessed pups, squirrel chasers, bed burrowers - the whole gamut! I'd love to meet your quirky family members, give them love and care while you're away, and go for fun-filled walkies. Please don't hesitate to contact me about your upcoming sitting.

Ratings and reviews
The best! We were so relaxed being able to leave Toto with Lucy and her family. The meet and greet was easy and drop off and pick up was quick too. Thanks so much and I hope next time we are in town we can look for your help again!
Lucy is an amazing sitter! Beyond the constant stream of photos and written updates, she kept Dixon regularly exercised (and happy!). She has a great home environment for boarding. Such a pleasant, stress-free experience.
Lucy was great. We intend to use her many more times!
Lucy was fantastic with our kitty while we were gone. He is very social, and she played with him every day and provided detailed updates. He seemed very happy and loved the attention!
Wonderful! Our pug had a great time with Lucy. She hardly wanted to leave. Thanks Lucy!
Lucy was a joy to work with, we truly felt our kitty was in good hands. This was our first experience with Rover and we were super pleased. Looking forward to booking again!

Schedule
My job is pet sitter/walker/sahm so my weeks are split between dog walks/school drop offs/playing at home etc. We love hosting dogs who enjoy spending time with a family.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We have a fenced yard and a grassy area to run around in. We have stairs up to our front door and a flight of stairs down into the back yard - preferably dogs can walk up/down stairs by themselves.
A typical day
It's up to you how much exercise and sniff time you would like your pup to get. For overnight sits if you are happy for your social dog to meet others they are more than welcome to join a scheduled walk throughout the day - walk + socializing! For the social butterflies who are used to regularly visiting a dog park I'm more than happy to take them there. If your pup is more of a lone wolf let me know and it will just be the two of us. Trips to McNear Park or the water tower are current favorites, but anywhere that you both are familiar with is great! I can walk, take it easy with rest breaks for those who prefer a gentle walk, or play backyard fetch or tug of war. Just let me know your preferences!
