Helping out where we can with your furry friends!

I have been helping out on Rover for nearly a year and I have met some wonderful pets with quite a few becoming regulars! I have my own dog, called Phoebe, who I rescued from Bali last December, therefore I can no longer board at our house as this is her safe space whilst she adapts to the UK way of life (and weather!), but please make contact and I will see if I can help you and your furry friend. Before having Pheebs I had a house rabbit called Rupert and often look after cats too, I adore all animals.

Safety, trust & environment

My garden is a nice size for a dog to run around in and two of the walls are brick and the other fence so it is very secure. I can stay in other peoples houses, I am both very trustworthy and respectful.

Lucy was absolutely brilliant with our greek rescue Vali. I felt fully confident leaving Vali in her care, Vali took to Lucy immediately and I was kept updated with lots of photos throughout Lucy's stay. Vali received lots of cuddles and had trips to the beach. Thanks so much Lucy, Vali would love to spend more time with you :)

This is the first time we have used a drop in sitter and we were a little apprehensive because our little girl is shy/timid/aloof with new people. We booked Lucy and asked if she could meet our dog Loki before the drop in visit to see how Loki would react. All I can say is, wow!. It took Loki a couple of minutes to accept Lucy, which is unheard of. She instantly felt at ease with Lucy, as my wife and I did. On the night of the drop in, we received a message with how the sitting went which was really appreciated. We 100% recommend Lucy. They say dogs know, and that’s good enough for us!

Lucy was fab checking in on our doggies. Lucy communicated really well and the dogs loved her. She made a great fuss of them which I could tell they loved 🐶

Lucy made a visit to see us and our Barney a week before the sit and we all got on very well. We arranged for Lucy to be with us at 9:30am and she turned up on time and looked after Barney very well while she was here. Lucy sent us updates during the visit and photos, which showed Barney having a lovely time. We would definitely use Lucy again and have no hesitation in recommending her to other customers.

It is really important to know how long your dog can be left, I will always make sure my dog is never left for more than 4/5 hours maximum and will do the same if required with your dog.
