About Lucia

Hi Everyone, my name is Lucia and I am from England! Living in Randwick. I grew up with British blue cats and several dogs!

Experience:

✨Personal pets and dog walking for neighbors and friends.

✨I have experience with reactive and nervous/anxious behaviors and understand caution on walks with certain dogs as well as large, small breeds and puppies.

✨Dog walking and hosting in Sydney for the past 12 months, I have regulars but can fit in day care, walks, visits and of course over nights which is my favourite.

✨My partner has the most beautiful Lab/Akita back in the UK, who I used to sit when WFH. In the last 2 years I have helped train/sit their newest puppy which is a mix of Czech Wolfdog/Malamute/German shepherd (see gallery) I really enjoy being around dogs so would be happy to look after all breeds and temperaments.

I have a 2 bedroom house in Randwick, with a garden, next to the park. I live with my partner who also loves animals and can help with pick ups and drop offs. My best friend is also staying with us and is often home when I'm at work or finishes her shifts hours before me so the pets are never left too long and she loves her animals just as much as us so is always happy to help. (She speaks French if needed)

I work from home on Wednesdays and Thursday's so can host tuesdays nights through to Friday morning if needed. I can walk 2 smaller dogs at a time and more likely 1-2 bigger dogs at one time as I’m only 5 foot 1 and have ended up being the one taken for a walk with larger dogs. My partner will be home in evenings to help with walks.

I prefer to host but can arrange to stay over or visit, whatever is needed, please ask and I will see if I can help.

I have a full UK and AU police check on request 🙂

Lucia was great with our dachshund, Leo. He had a great time and felt comfortable at her home. Will absolutely book in future 😊

Lucia was terrific and our Daisy who is going through some anxiety with other dogs was so happy there. I’d definitely book again.
