Highlights
Pet care experience
Dog Mom Ready to Work
As a dog mom of two Swiss Shepherds, I love animals of all sizes. I grew up with cats, fish, and now my own pups. With over a decade and a half of animal experience, I have cared for pets of all sizes, health, conditions; from dogs to cats, fish and birds, to horses, goats, chickens, ducks, and more. I love animals and will take the best care of your fur baby. Safety and health are of utmost importance to me, as well as making sure your baby is mentally and physically exercised and has fun doing it. My older dog is my service dog and the pup is in service dog training and therefore I am well versed in positive reinforcement training behaviors upkeep. I have done everything from boarding to house sitting, walking, and meds and special needs, pups, kittens and even seniors. I look forward to caring for your fur baby!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Lucy took take great care of my girls! Definitely recommend her!
Excellent care taker, very knowledgeable about what care dogs need and adequates to their personnel requirements
Lucy was amazing with my 2 large-breed dogs and medium rescue/foster puppy. Quick responses, consistent communication, numerous photo updates, flexible, and caring. The rescue/foster puppy is extremely high-energy and in the beginning training stages, yet Lucy was understanding and willing to help maintain consistency in her training. Very grateful to have found her and will use her again in the future!
Lucy watched our 3 year old lab husky mix for a month while my family and i went on vacation. She sent us videos and pictures every single day of him playing, cuddling and loving. That trip was probably the most stress free ive ever been on vacation away from my dog. To have someone so caring and thoughtful of our dogs needs was amazing. Super communative and easy going.
Lucy is absolutely amazing and I cannot recommend her enough as a pet sitter. She cared for my very high-energy dog, Vader, for three weeks while I was out of the country, and she truly went above and beyond. Vader loves going for walks and having his ball thrown constantly, and Lucy made sure he had plenty of both every single day. She also sent me daily updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was happy, safe, and having fun. What really stood out was the way Lucy welcomed Vader into her home and treated him like he was part of her family. She carefully maintained his eating schedule, kept up with his routines, and showed him so much love and patience. By the time I came home, Vader had formed such a strong bond with her that he didn’t want to leave! That level of trust and connection says everything about the kind of caregiver Lucy is. If you are looking for someone who is not only reliable and responsible, but also genuinely loving and devoted to animals, Lucy is the perfect choice. I would absolutely trust her with Vader again, and I know she will treat your pets with the same kindness and care.
I had Lucy watch my cat for a few days and she was fantastic! She gave me updates so I wouldn't have to worry, and was able to carry out any requests I made. Lucy is genuinely kind person who loves animals, and I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs a trustworthy person to watch their pet.

Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I take the utmost care of your pet. Make sure basic needs are always met, food, water, meds, special needs, exercise, toys, walks, play, and more. I always make sure specific regimens are followed and I provide regular updates to my pet parents. I am flexible and willing and able to adapt.
Pets
A typical day
I check on the fur baby, talk to them, make sure they have fresh water, follow the feeding and/or medicine instructions. I make sure their waste area is clean and their bedding comfy and clean. Lots of toys and brain teasers/mentally stimulating activity are important. Play is important. And physical exercise! For pups, I can do training walks or I can do leisurely sniff walks where I let the pup “check the mail” and sniff all the good sniffs.
