Pet care experience

Happy pets and worry-free owners

I've been around dogs since before I learned to walk (Newfoundland / Lab mix, Black Lab, Whippet mix rescue, farmhound etc). I grew up around canines, ranging from lapdog to farmdog, and I'm excellent at reading their body language. I care for every dog as if it's my own – which isn't hard to do with the world's sweetest animal. I keep my home very clean and I have a dog gate - usually dogs have free range on the ground floor. I freelance (web design) and work from home, so I can keep your pup company while I work, and provide frequent walks and attention due to my flexible schedule – conference calls are a particularly good time for me to share some petting / play in between outings. I have cared for both large and small dogs, and I'm familiar with the particulars of many breeds.

Luke went above and beyond to make sure our puppy felt loved and right at home while we were gone. Luke did a wonderful job and we are so glad we found him!

Luke is very personable, professional, and responsive. He has a lovely house in a forest-like neighborhood. He works from home and he took good care of our miniature poodle. We look forward to having Luke care for Rachy again. Highly recommended.

Confident leaving my dog with Luke. My dog needs time to build trust with new people and places and Luke fully understood. Major liked him right away and Luke was thoughtful in his approach to caring for him during his overnight. Really appreciate the care we will be booking again!

Luke was wonderful. He’s calm and communicative, and took our dog on a long walk. I absolutely recommend him and wouldn’t hesitate to leave our dog with him again.

I work for myself so my schedule is flexible. I can easily respond to your dogs needs. I also speak Spanish in case your dog is bilingual.

Safety, trust & environment

I work from home so I can keep your pet with me during the day, and can take frequent breaks during the day. I only ever sit for one dog (or multiple dogs from a single owner) at once, so you know your pet(s) will have my full attention.

A typical day

I live in a beautiful wooded area, with a large yard for quick walks. I also am across from a nature preserve where I can take dogs on longer strolls in the woods. I can throw a ball or keep them leashed, depending on the dog's needs.

I like to know the dog's temperament and any unique needs they might have. It’s also useful to know how often they need breaks and meals.
