Nice to meet you! I'm Lucy, 28 years old, and an experienced shelter attendent, dog walker, pet/house sitter, and currently work as a dog daycare attendant. As a life-long petowner myself I understand the commitment it takes to make sure our little guys are healthy, happy, and living their best life.
