Highlights
Pet care experience
Your Dog’s Royal Retreat!
I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends, and family have always relied on me to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pets like my own. I also foster dogs through Cincinnati Animal CARE (CAC), which has given me experience with all kinds of personalities, routines, and needs. My parents own a miniature dachshund (The 2 time Cincinnati Oktoberfest Wiener Dog Champ 🏆), who I raised myself as a puppy during COVID. I lived with cats in college too and learned to love them just as much. Dogs staying with me get the full Barkingham Palace experience! I have a front and backyard, lots of toys and enrichment activities, a tether so they can safely run and play, plus time for plenty of walks and snuggles. I’m always the family/friend go-to for pet care, so I figured I’d finally extend the offer beyond my circle!

Ratings and reviews
Lucy is amazing! My shy rescue felt so safe with her and was so happy when I picked her up from her sleepover :) thank you Lucy!
Lucy was amazing! My pup felt right at home in her place (ran to her room and jumped up on her bed immediately!), and she got tons of one:one time. Lucy is perfect for dogs who need a calm and quiet place and who do best with lots of attention. We can’t wait to book with Lucy again :)
We had a great experience with Lucy! She was incredibly kind, communicative, and clearly cared so much about our dog. We loved getting lots of photos and updates throughout the stay, and she always responded very quickly. She even did water activities with our dog during the heat, which he absolutely loved. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was having fun and being so well cared for. We would definitely book with her again!
She really helped me out by being available on short notice. I knew my dog was in good hands.
Lucy is the kind of animal lover pets instantly trust. She reads every tail wag, ear twitch, and curious glance, responding to each animal’s needs with calm confidence and genuine care. Rain or shine, day or night, she shows up ready to provide food, shelter, warmth, comfort, and plenty of snuggles. Dependability is her signature. You can count on Lucy to be there, and if anything unexpected arises, her strong background in animal husbandry means your pet is in capable, protective hands. Raised in a home filled with animals, Lucy understands the full spectrum of pet care—from the practical routines to the emotional connection that makes pets feel safe and loved. She’s committed, attentive, and wholeheartedly devoted to giving every animal the care they deserve.
Lucy would provide safe, loving care because she is reliable, caring, and truly loves animals. Our family has always had pets, including dogs, fish, and even a hedgehog, and Lucy has always been hands on with their care. She fosters dogs, so she is comfortable with different personalities, routines, and needs. She is easy to communicate with, follows through on what she says, and treats both pets and their owners with care and respect.
