About Lucy

Dog loving house and dog sitter. I have a Boston terrier.

I am able to offer day visiting ( one or more visits to your home) For overnight stays or longer in your home, these are entirely possible so long as I can bring my own dog. So, if you wish to go on holiday, need to get away in an emergency and do not wish for your beloved dog to stay in a kennels, I am your lady.

I prefer to take care of toy, miniature or small breed dogs up to Beagles and Springer spaniel sizes. I am also happy to take care of your cat, rabbit, guinea pig, other small mamals and birds in your home. 

 I am a mature person.

I work from home on a laptop so I am here all day.

 As a dog is great company I am happy to assist anyone even at short notice.

 I have many years experience in working with dogs.

 I worked in Hill Farm Quarantine Kennels, near Leighton Buzzard, Beds for 5 years from the age of 16.

I did two job swaps during that time; one in Sweden, where I took care of 12 adult labs and 40 lab pups; then a job in Norway on a farm, where one of my jobs was taking care of a litter of Border collie pups.

 I used to accompany the vet every day on his rounds in the quarantine kennels here in UK.

 I assisted in vaccinations, administering medicines etc.

 I learned to clip all breeds of dogs in Peggy's Pet Shop, Edgware, Middlesex and I clipped all dogs back in the quarantine kennels.

 I had two jobs in Brussels, Belgium clipping dogs.

 I come from a family of dog owners, so I am familar with the needs of a dog.

 I have taken in 4 litters of pups in Cairo, Egypt when I lived there, and reared the puppies.

 The last Egyptian litter was 7 pups, but the mother was sick had to be put down after 2 weeks, after which time I reared the pups. In recent months, my Boston terrier sired 5 puppies which I reared here in this house along with caring for the mother. Here in UK, I helped a mother Boston terrier rear her 5 puppies in 2019. In 2020 I helped a mother Boston terrier rear her 3 puppies during lockdown. 

Long-term, short-term.

I am single, no human ties in UK, adaptable, well travelled, lived and worked overseas. 

I am legal. I pay tax working from home on my PC and I have a self-employed tax reference number.
