Highlights
Pet care experience
Reliable & Attentive Pet Care
What sets me apart is the attentiveness, patience, and reliability I bring to pet care. Through years of working with kids in outdoor education and ski instruction, I’ve developed strong awareness, calm communication, and the ability to adapt to individual needs — qualities that translate naturally into caring for animals. I’m comfortable with dogs of all ages, from playful puppies who benefit from consistency to senior dogs who need a slower, more attentive approach. Living an active lifestyle in Truckee allows me to offer engaging walks and hikes when appropriate, while always respecting your dog’s comfort level. I also prioritize communication and provide regular photo updates so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away.

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine consistent so they feel comfortable and secure. I follow feeding, walking, and care instructions closely while providing attentive interaction through walks, playtime, and companionship based on each pet’s needs. I also treat your home with respect by keeping things clean and secure, and I provide regular photo updates and communication so you can feel confident your pet is well cared for while you’re away.
Ratings and reviews
Luke is very trustworthy, considerate, & reliable. He helped me out in a pinch with overnight care for our dog. He checked in with pictures, updated, and was easy to reach. I would recommend him to anyone!

Schedule
Pet care fits naturally into my routine and active lifestyle. I work full days at Alpine Meadows Ski Resort on Mondays and Tuesdays, and occasionally Thursdays and Fridays, so I plan pet care around those commitments to ensure every dog receives consistent, unrushed attention. On my available days and mornings/evenings, I prioritize walks, playtime, enrichment, and companionship. Living in the Truckee area also allows me to offer engaging outdoor time when appropriate, while always respecting each dog’s energy level and needs. I value reliability and communication, so owners can expect dependable scheduling and regular updates.
