Information Lucy S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if there’s anything special about your pet that I should be aware of so I can provide the best care possible. I love hearing about a dog’s personality from their owner’s perspective—it helps me better understand their needs and how to make them feel comfortable and happy!

A typical day

I love engaging with animals based on their individual interests and personalities! High-energy pets who enjoy being outdoors, running around, and playing tug-of-war or fetch are always a joy—but I equally enjoy spending time with animals who prefer a slower, more relaxed pace. My goal is always to make your pet as happy and comfortable as possible.

Experienced Animal Caretaker

Pet care experience

I’ve spent my entire life surrounded by animals—at one point, my family had six dogs, and five cats. Caring for animals has always been second nature to me, and I genuinely love meeting animals! With over 10 years of experience in dog sitting and dog walking, I’m dedicated to making your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness my top priority. You can count on me to give them the attention, affection, and reliable care they deserve. If you have any questions or special requests, please don’t hesitate to reach out—I’m always happy to help!

Lucy was so great! Communicative and kind! Also one of our dogs had an upset stomach the day we left and she made an adjusted meal for her for a couple days (rice and chicken broth) with no notice. She was so great I immediately asked for her availability for another upcoming trip. She also went above and beyond in the house even shoveling the driveway when we got snow.

Lucy is FANTASTIC! She cared so well for our pup when we were out of town. Communication was great, pics and updates multiple times per day. When we got home it was clear that our dog was safe and well cared for. We could not recommend Lucy enough.

Lucy is so thoughtful and sweet. She let me know what her and my pup were up to while I was away, and he was a very happy and safe pup when I got home. I would highly recommend Lucy.
