Information Lucy R. would like to know about your pet

I have experience with nervous and reactive dogs, I know how to handle situations where I can identify your dog is clearly uncomfortable. We are the voice for our dogs so my priority is to ensure they are comfortable and happy at all times Please let me know if you have any worries or if you have any special requirements, I am more than happy to go through any questions/enquiries you have

A typical day

Stimulating a dog physically and mentally is so important when bringing up a happy and well behaved dog. I will be playing games and teaching commands, to ensure I challenge your dogs mental capabilities and help us bond so our relationship can flourish

Pet care experience

Hi! I’m your pet’s new favourite human 🐾 I’ll be honest… I’ve always been that person who spots a dog before a human in the street. Animals have my whole heart, and I genuinely prefer their company (no offence 😄). My love for animals started when I was a little girl—I grew up riding horses and learning how to properly care for animals from a young age. Over the years I’ve had all sorts of pets of my own, including hamsters, rabbits, parrots, and dogs, so I’m very comfortable around different personalities, sizes, and needs. I’ve also got hands-on experience with a wide range of dog breeds including poodles, French bulldogs, staffies, German shepherds, and greyhounds. I’m confident working with all temperaments too, including nervous or reactive dogs, and I always take the time to build trust at their pace so they feel safe and comfortable with me. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit, or a cosy place to stay, I’ll treat them exactly how I treat my own—like family. That means plenty of love, attention, cuddles, and yes… they’re absolutely allowed on the sofa (and don’t be surprised if they end up sneaking onto the bed too!). I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone else. I’m a loyal and reliable person, and my top priority is always to keep your pet safe, happy, and well cared for while they’re with me. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands. And just to give you a true idea of how much of an animal lover I am—I’m the kind of person who goes on holiday to relax… but ends up spending half my time stealing meat from the all inclusive to feed the stray dogs and cats. On my last trip to Greece, I walked through pouring rain in flip flops on a mission to buy food for around 20 hotel cats (they were absolutely worth it!) At the end of the day, I don’t just “look after” pets—I genuinely care about them. Your pet will be loved, spoiled, and treated like one of my own from the moment they’re with me. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and just a little bit animal-obsessed… I’m your person 🐶🐱

Lucy was super sweet with Ruby. She kept me up to date with how Ruby was settling in and seemed to have adjusted well.❤️
