Highlights
Pet care experience
I love all pets!
I have taken care of both cats and dogs in paid and volunteer settings, where I've done just about everything included in taking care of pets. I have regularly housesat for family friends where I stay overnight, walk the dog(s), and feed and occasionally administer medications to the pets (both with dogs and cats). My experience volunteering at my local animal shelter has taught me to be patient with the more shy or standoffish pets in order to help them feel safe, and thus given me more confidence with a variety of pet personalities. Have indoor/outdoor plants? I can take care of those, too (including veggies)!
Cat care experience
Lucy also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I am used to walking dogs twice a day (once in the morning and once in the evening, but I can possibly make a midday walk work) and letting them outside whenever they need (when I am at home during the day), as well as just hanging out with pets in my down time. I am more than willing to bring dogs to a park as I have a mid-sized car with a roomy backseat (and a front seat for the more car-comfortable dog). As for cats, I am more than comfortable housing one cat in my home if you are not comfortable with me staying or visiting yours, but only for shorter periods.
Ratings and reviews
A great pet sitter! Huge peace of mind on my trip and even my shy kitty said hello.
Thanks Lucy for taking care of Lu and Sparks. We really appreciate how you followed all of the instructions and supported all of their needs. This allowed us to relax on a greatly needed vacation knowing our pets were attended to well. Thanks again!
I can’t say enough good things about Lucy! It was so nice to be able to go on a quick vacation and trust that my animals were taken care of. I will definitely be utilizing her services again.
Lucy took great care of my two cats. She was very attentive to their personalities and took the time to ensure their needs were met. I would strongly recommend Lucy as a pet sitter and will use her services again!
Lucy has been our dedicated dog sitter (German Shepherd) for many years. She is so great with pets! Extremely conscientious, trustworthy, caring, and attentive. Our dog gets very excited whenever she sees her, and we know that she is in very good hands when she is with Lucy. I give her my highest recommendation!
Calendar and availability
Schedule
I am working on passing the Massachusetts Bar Exam and am looking for a way to boost my income while I work as a paralegal and study for the exam; I am available to sit for week-long periods or longer, but will be working full-time. Depending on how close my work is to your home, I can make midday drop-ins for dogs that need it.
