About Lucy

Hi!

My name is Lucy and I am 21 years old. I grew up in Wellington and spent all of my spare time with my pets and helping others walk and train their dogs. I used to compete in agility with my three border collie crosses before I moved up to Palmy after highschool for university. I am completing my masters in dog genetics & nutrition at Massey.

I have plenty of experience with all kinds of animal and have been doing housesitting, dog walking, and training for multiple years. Growing up we had dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, and fish.

I am very confident around all kinds of dogs and as one of my dogs is reactive I am used to managing that as well. I am free for housesitting any day of the week. Whilst in your home I can water any plants, bring in the mail, put bins out and anything else to make it easy for you once you return! Whilst you’re away your dog will get at least one walk a day and I’m happy to do some training as well to brush up on their manners. I am also experienced in giving medication to both cats and dogs. During home visits I will make sure to actually spend some time hanging out with your pets so it’s not just a drop by to put food in their bowl.

 Feel free to contact me if you have any questions and I look forward to meeting you and your pets!

* I do live with a dog now so for housesitting you will either need to be in/near Hokowhitu so I can go home to care for him easily or be open to him being at your place - he will not interact with your pets and sleeps in a crate *

Familiar with dog training techniques
I joined a dog training club 8 years ago and never looked back! I love investing time into learning training techniques and being able to see them in play with peoples dogs that I am lucky enough to work with whilst away from my own. I am also currently spending several hours a week up at the canine unit at Massey helping with training the dogs.
