Pet care experience

Trusted care tailored to your pet

I've always had pets in my life, and caring for animals is second nature to me. I have a degree in veterinary medicine (though I don’t practice in a clinic), and I now work for a conservation nonprofit from home with my own beloved dog and cat. This means I have a flexible schedule and can provide plenty of attention, walks, and playtime for your pet. Whether your pup needs some exercise, your cat wants company, or you'd like someone to work from your home while keeping your pet happy, I’m here to help!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced yard for a safe and secure outdoor space, and I always follow the pet owner's instructions to ensure their pet's routine, comfort, and well-being. Whether in my home or yours, I prioritize a calm, trusted environment where pets feel safe and cared for.

Doggy Day Care • Jun 15, 2026

Im so thankful I found Luz, shes fantastic and I knew my lil pup was in good hands. Im so leary of people watching my animals but I went with my instinct. I highly recommend Luz if your needing a sitter. It was nice meeting her hubby and dog as well!!

House Sitting • May 07, 2026

Luz was immediately comfortable with my two Belgian malinois who are not always immediately friendly. She kept me supplied with news and photos the whole time I was away and I came back to two well-exercised and happy dogs. I really can’t think of anything I would have changed about the visit

Luz is a very skilled and compassionate pet caregiver, and a lovely human in general. She has provided exceptional care for both our dog and our cat over the years. Her approach to animals is very calm, confident, and caring. Our dog is always very excited to see her. Luz is also very knowledgeable about animal health and wellness, and is very attentive to any special needs a pet might have. I absolutely hate to go out of town if one of our pets needs medication or special treatment, but knowing our pet's are in Luz's care completely puts our minds at ease. Your pets will be in excellent hands with Luz. I can't recommend her enough.

It doesn't get any better than Luz! She has all the experience and care skills you and your pet need. She is an incredibly caring, thoughtful, and attentive person, and... she is a veterinarian! Whether your dog (or cat) needs peaceful and quiet time, or a long run out in the forest, or whether your dog loves accompanied alone time or has separation anxiety, she can take care of that and everything in between. She is extremely reliable and professional, and great at communicating about everything that is necessary to give your pet the best time, and give you peace of mind. Can't recommend her enough!

Schedule

I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to fit in walks, visits, and playtime throughout the day. Whether your pet needs a midday stroll, some company while you’re away, or a quiet presence at home, I can adjust to their needs.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Luz can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
It’s important for me to know your pet’s routine, personality, energy level, and any medical or dietary needs ahead of time. I also like to know what they enjoy (and don’t), their leash manners, feeding schedule, and any quirks that help them feel comfortable and safe.
