Lucy was amazing. She has a very calm energy which our pets responded to immediately. She was very communicative, sending us pictures of our pets throughout our trip. We came back to a spotless house, happy pets and felt so reassured having her here. I cannot recommend her enough.

Lucy is an absolute gem! 💎 This was my first time ever hiring a cat sitter, and I was honestly a bit nervous to leave Leo and Luna for over a week as they don’t get along very well. Having Lucy stay overnight made all the difference! 🙌🏽 When we came home, it was so obvious the cats had an amazing week. Leo was incredibly playful and full of energy, and Luna was just so calm and relaxed, you can just tell they felt totally safe and loved while we were gone. On top of taking such great care of the cats, Lucy left our place completely spotless. It was so perfectly neat, you wouldn't even know someone had been staying there! Finding someone you genuinely trust with your fur-babies and your home is tough, but she gave us 100% peace of mind. We will absolutely be having Lucy back to watch Leo and Luna in a heartbeat! 💗

Lucy did a wonderful job looking after my senior pup who needs special care and attention. I really feel like my pup was made the priority and that she was very well taken care of. So nice to have when you can’t be there to do it yourself.

By far one of the best sitters I have had yet. Lucy kept me informed with pics, was on time and left everything spotless. I would definitely recommend and would use her again!

I have known Lucy for 10 years. I first met her when she came to volunteer at our farm sanctuary. I was immediately drawn to her gentleness and kindness to the animals. She had an amazing patience, asking an animal to do something and then allowing him/her time to process and respond. When it came time to train our young cow to wear a halter, Lucy volunteered to do it. She taught the cow hand signals and through a system of positive reinforcement, she acclimated the cow to the halter and was no longer afraid when we walked up to her with a halter in our hands. When we had camp and it was time for the children to learn about cows, Lucy facilitated the session. She called the cows gently and with hand signals taught the children what it’s like to be a cow and how to be around these cows. Her lesson was quite touching and it brought tears to my eyes when I heard her speaking so lovingly towards the cows. Over the last ten years Lucy has stayed involved with us in a variety of capacities. Not only has she worked with all the animals at this farm, but she ran a summer camp for children with challenges and was able to successfully impart to the them the importance of caring for the animals in a kind and calm manner. Lucy has a very big heart and will not only care for the basic needs of an animal, but will genuinely love their spirit and will enrich their environment in any way possible. I would not hesitate to ask Lucy to take care of any of my animals, at the farm or personal. Lucy will be a positive influence in any family.

I first met Lucy over 6 years ago when she became part of my care team at at an animal rescue farm and we have since become good friends. I was immediately drawn to how caring, compassionate and intuitive she was, not only with all the animals but also with the people we worked with at the time. She now works with Autistic children and it is clear how capable she is across various professional environments. Lucy is honest, reliable, trustworthy and delightful to be around. She house sits for us and takes good care of our house, hummingbirds and our dog, Milo (King Charles) loves her. I have great respect for Lucy and I would highly recommend her as a house and pet sitter.

Schedule

My schedule changes throughout the year- currently open for overnight sittings, I will alter my availability/calendar as much as possible. I usually have appointments (self employed) throughout the daytime, which is why it’s important for me to know in advance how many hours you are comfortable with me being away from the house, so I can arrange my appointments accordingly.
