About Lucy

Hi there, my name is Lucy, I am 54 and live in North New Brighton in Christchurch with my two ex-racing greyhounds and my long-suffering husband.

My two greyhounds prefer only the company of their breed so I will host only greyhounds. Happy to meet up prior to check our hounds get along. 

We have a secure property with high fences and a nice north-facing deck for hounds to bask in the sun. I have been an active volunteer with Nightrave Greyhounds - South Island and have been a foster pawrent.

The hounds are both used to having friends to stay in the home. Your hound, if happy can sleep in their bed in our lounge or if you prefer a crate, then we have one of those. Whatever makes your pup feel good. 

In 2024 I will be embarking on a blended delivery degree meaning I will be home a lot and able to host your doggo and this will supplement my meager student existence. 

One of my careers was as a veterinary nurse for 10 years so I can administer medications, clip nails and recognise any issues that might crop up.

My two demand a walk daily so that is on the daily activity chart and we mix that up with walks at the Groynes, around my local streets, Rawhiti Golf Course (ball dodging) and Bottle Lake Forest - to name just a few.  

Things to note:

  • Overnight stays must come with their own bed, food, treats and medications if needed. 
  • All dogs hosted must be up to date with their vaccinations
  • For overnight stays, I prefer to host one dog and two - if from the same family.
  • For daycare - a maximum of two dogs per day.

    Fantastic as per usual. So nice to know my boy is settled and well looked after and treated like one of Lucy’s own dogs when he’s there.

    Lucy knows her hounds! Our Sadie had a wonderful weekend with Lucy and her greys. I’d highly recommend her service and will be booking again in the future.
