Highlights
Pet care experience
Reliable, caring and friendly
I have plenty of time and love to give to your dogs. I have lots of experience with caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes and ages. I am confident and comfortable with all different dog personalities. I also have experience with senior dogs, dogs with medical conditions and young puppies. Just let me know and I’ll do my best to accommodate their needs. I have had my own dog for the past decade, a Jack Russell who I rescued in America who has now sadly passed and now we have a lovely ex-racing greyhound. I truly understand the importance of your dogs and that dogs are a member of your family. Please read my recent reviews.

Ratings and reviews
Lucy was brilliant throughout; she put us at ease about leaving our dog for an overnight stay, and her communication was great. She updated us regularly and sent photos too, which was lovely. We would thoroughly recommend Lucy.
Incredibly reliable, friendly dog walker. Responds quickly to messages and takes lots of photos. Would highly recommend. 🙂
Lovely dog walker! Came and met Maggie the weekend before, was punctual and easy to contact! Left a lovely overview of the walk and took lots of pictures. Would highly recommend 🙂
Lucy was great as always, thank you!

Schedule
I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of time and attention throughout the day. If your dog is staying with us then I will ensure I am at home all day, so they get the attention they need, with the exception if I need to run short errands of less than an hour (quick trip to supermarket etc). I absolutely love walking dogs and spending time outside. I have experience caring for dogs of many breeds and sizes.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I live in a detached home in a quiet area with a large secure fully fenced garden (7ft fence). Your dog will have access to the garden whenever they need. There are lots of nice places to walk near my house including fields, woods and walking trails. Your dog can have the entire run of the downstairs of our home while they are here. We also have a dog gate for the kitchen door to ensure safety at night. Our dog, Coco, likes spending time with other dogs. When I’m caring for pets, their safety and comfort always come first. During walks, I make sure each dog is securely leashed with properly fitted gear, and I stick to safe, familiar routes. I pay close attention to their behaviour and surroundings to help keep them calm and happy at all times. For drop-in visits and dog sitting in your home, I follow the owner’s routine closely from feeding and playtime to any special instructions or medications. I always make sure pets feel comfortable in their own environment, keeping things tidy and ensuring they have fresh water and lots of affection before I leave. Communication and trust are key, so I keep owners updated with photos and messages after and during visits if requested. Please note for walks during hot weather, if it is too hot to safely walk your dog I will switch their walk to a drop-in visit (if required) where I take them out for a toilet break/let them out into the garden, spend time with them and ensure their water/food is topped up. That way they are still comfortable and have their basic needs met whilst you are out of the house.
Pets
A typical day
A typical day with me is all about keeping pets happy, active, and loved! For dog walks, I like to allow plenty of sniffing time, play, and exploring safe routes or nearby parks. I will adjust each walk to the dog’s age, energy level, and personality, whether that’s a brisk walk for an energetic pup or a gentle stroll for an older dog. During drop-in visits, I make sure pets get lots of attention and playtime, along with fresh water, meals, and cuddles. My goal is to make every visit familiar and comfortable, so your dog can feel relaxed and cared for.
