Highlights
Pet care experience
Friendly company for happy walks
I’ve lived with dogs, cats, and birds throughout my life, and I have around 20 years of experience caring for parakeets and a Quaker parrot. My dog-walking experience has been occasional walks with friends’ dogs, mostly smaller pups, and I’m excited to spend more time getting to know dogs in my neighborhood! I already spend plenty of time out walking, so a friend suggested dog walking would be a natural fit. I’d love to give your dog some fresh air, exercise, and time to sniff and explore at their own pace. I’ll follow your instructions and pay attention to their comfort, energy level, and routine.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
For dog walking, I’ll follow your instructions for picking up and returning your dog, including securely locking up your home. Before our first walk, I’d like to learn about your dog’s leash manners, usual routine, triggers, and any special needs. I’ll make sure their leash and harness or collar are secure, keep them leashed, and adjust our pace to their comfort and energy level. Afterward, I’ll get them settled, check that they have water, and send you a brief update about our walk!
Ratings and reviews
Coco is getting up there in years. He's blind, hard of hearing, and needs daily ear medication, so finding someone we trusted to care for him while we were traveling internationally wasn't easy. Lucy turned out to be exactly who we were hoping for. She was calm and patient with him, let him move at his own pace, and made sure he always felt safe even though he can't see or hear her coming. She also stayed right on top of his ear medication, which gave us huge peace of mind while we were so far from home. What stood out most was how tuned in she was to how Coco was feeling each day. Her check-ins kept us in the loop. Coco came home calm, content, and clearly well loved. If you have a senior or special-needs dog who needs a gentle, patient caregiver, Lucy is the person to call. Coco and our whole family are grateful for her.
Lucy was the kindest, most reliable pet-sitter we could have asked for. From the very first meet-and-greet, it was clear she genuinely loves animals, and our dog, DD, warmed up to her right away. She took the time to go over every care instruction we left and followed them carefully, from DD's feeding schedule to her walks, medication, favorite snacks, and bedtime routine. While we were away, Lucy kept us updated with regular messages and photos, so we never had to worry about how DD was doing. Lucy is warm, dependable, and easy to communicate with. My family and I trust her completely and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their furry friends. We'll definitely be booking with her again!
Lucy helped walk my dog on a hike we went on together, and I really appreciated having her along! My dog has lots of energy, and Lucy was happy to run with her for parts of the hike. It was lovely seeing them enjoy the outdoors together. I’d recommend Lucy to anyone looking for an active, friendly walking companion for their pup!

Schedule
I have a flexible weekday schedule, especially during typical working hours, so dog walks fit easily into my daily routine. I already enjoy getting outside for regular walks and would love to have a canine companion join me! My availability is primarily on weekdays, with limited weekend availability.
