Hola! I’m Lucia, originally from Argentina and happily settled in Edinburgh for the last 6 years. I fell in love with this city and its green spaces, and now I’m excited to share that love with your furry family members.
Back home I had two wonderful rescued dogs, Afrika and Sandro. They now live with my best friends (and still stick together like the siblings they are!), but I miss having animals around – that’s why pet sitting is such a joy for me. I’ve always had animals in my life: frogs, cats, dogs, sheep and more while living in the countryside, so for me, a home feels complete when there’s a pet in it.
I live in lovely Leith and I’m:
Around 20 minutes from Holyrood
1 minute from Dalmeny Park
About 10 minutes from Leith Links
So your dog will have plenty of options for safe, fun walks in green areas close to home (apart of the lovely green garden of my building!) 🌱☘️🌿🌸
What I do when I’m not pet sitting
I work from home as a Project Manager (community artworks) for an organisation that promotes active travel. That means:
I'll be at home or at your place, but since it's very flexible I can have walks along the day with your furry children 😉
I can offer plenty of company, cuddles and attention
What I offer – at my home and yours
🐾 Boarding sittings (your pet stays with me)
Your pet will live as part of my household, not just as a “guest”. This includes:
As many walks as needed during the day (to nearby parks and green spaces)
Playtime, cuddles and company throughout the day
Keeping to their usual routine as much as possible (feeding times, etc.)
Photos and videos so you can see how they’re doing
Medication administration if needed (as per your instructions)
I never let pets off the lead unless I have explicit permission from you
🐾 House sitting (I move to your home – if/when needed)
If I’m staying in your home, I will:
Do the agreed number of walks per day
Play with them and keep them mentally and physically stimulated
Practice basic behaviour training if you’re working on anything specific
Send regular pictures and videos to keep you updated
Respect your home and leave it clean and tidy when I go
Administer medication if required
Keep your pet on-lead unless you have clearly said otherwise
Availability
Because I work from home, I’m generally available and I especially love looking after pets during your holidays, when I can really bond with them over several days.
If you’re booking for a longer trip, feel free to ask about a discount. 😊
Your pet will be treated as part of my family – no doubt about it.
I hope to meet you and your furry loved ones soon. ♥️
