I recently graduated with my Master’s in Social Work & am looking for a full time clinical social worker job in San Diego at the moment but currently have a lot of free time to spend with your pet. I love all animals and am excited to have a lot of time to be a pet sitter and dog walker again.

Safety, trust & environment

When I host animals at mine I make sure to not leave any of my human food out for them to potentially nibble on. I live close to a park & my neighborhood is great for dog walking.

Information Lucy S. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any special needs or health issues prior please :) I don’t have experience giving pets shots but I do have experience giving dogs pills & taking care of dogs with anxiety.

A typical day

There are multiple parks near me so I can take your dog out to smell all the smells every 2-3 hours or so, depending on your preference.

Reliable & attentive pet sitter

Pet care experience

I grew up with various pets & have loved caring for animals for as long as I can remember. My family had three Great Danes & two peacocks when I was in jr high until college, so I’m very comfortable with a variety of animals. As the oldest child in my family, I spent a lot of time walking & helping care for our pets. By the time I was in high school, neighbors & family friends were regularly hiring me to walk their dogs & pet sit, & I have been doing it ever since. I also have recent experience helping raise & train a Pitt-mix puppy, including taking him to obedience classes, so I understand how important patience, consistency, & positive reinforcement are. I absolutely love caring for animals. They bring me so much joy, & I feel very lucky to get to spend time with them. Thank you for considering me to care for your pet! :)

Lucy was amazing! She was communicative from start to finish and such a lovely person to work with. I’d absolutely book with Lucy again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a true dog lover!

Lucy was punctual, friendly and super sweet to my 3 very senior pups. Very patient as they are very slow. My youngest is a very skittish, prior feral flight risk so I was very concerned with a stranger walking my pups but Lucy was very kind, calm and patient with them. I recommend Lucy for any dog care. Special needs or otherwise.

Ronan had the best day today. He enjoyed his time and made a new friend in Otto. I look forward to reaching out again in the future.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
