Lucy’s Friends Pet Sitting

Lucy’s Friends Pet Sitting service is the best anyone could ever ask for. April and Alan have cared for my 2 cats and 1 dog for over 5 years. I never worry when I am away from home because I know my «girls» are in great hands. And when I get home, there are always short notes from every visit letting me what happened and any «cute’ things my girls did. April has been a wonderful support system. I can call anytime I have a concern or need a boost relating the my girls. Thank you for being the best pet sitters. If Lucy’s Friends or family can’t watch my girls, then I don’t go out of town — that simple!

To say that we are satisfied with Lucy’s Friends Pet Sitting is an understatement! April and Alan are not only great pet sitters but among a very select few people I trust to be in our home in our absence.
We have used their service for three years now and we have been eminently satisfied with the service we receive.
Our bunnies are always well loved and cared for while we are away and I can trust that April and Alan know what to do and how to handle a situation in the event of an emergency. Rabbits require a lot of work to care for properly, having someone that understands the dynamics of living with exotics is extremely valuable to us. Everything is always neat tidy and in great shape when we return and there is a detailed daily update note on how things went. My wife and I love to reading the «bunny journals».
April and Alan were recommended to us by our vet, I am so glad that they were and we recommend them highly.

I can’t say enough good things about Lucy’s Friends! They have been our pet sitters since 2005, and we could not imagine anyone else taking care of our pets. They genuinely love our pets… They genuinely love animals. Just as important, April and Alan care about people. They know that if pets are happy and well-​cared for, their guardians will be happy. I trust them and know I can rely on them. Their attention to detail is obvious, and that’s important when you’re caring for our menagerie of 3 dogs and 1 cat. April and Alan keep their knowledge about pet care up to date and are focused on ensuring the best care of our pets. Their newsletters are always full of valuable information. I learned that they are long-​term, active members of Pet Sitters International when I asked them for a recommendation for a pet sitter for a family member. Clearly, they take pet sitting seriously and always strive to be the best. In my book, they are the best!

Our vacation was unnecessarily disrupted because of this pet sitter’s poor judgment. April called us and left a message saying only that there was a problem with our cat — no details. We returned the call within 30 minutes then waited frantically for 2 hours before we finally reached April after multiple calls. We were relieved to find out that the problem was not urgent but unhappy about the unprofessional way this was handled.
We were scheduled for «mid day service» between 3−6pm but after questioning Alan, we found out that schedule was not being followed. We used Lucy’s Friends several times over the course of a year and had developed trust in them but that trust has been lost. We do not recommend this pet sitter.

We’ve used Lucy’s Friends Pet Sitting for about 3 years now since we’ve had our two mini-​dachshunds and we love them.
It’s difficult to find people you can trust with your animals and we completely trust April and Alan not only with our animals but also to come into our home. Our boys don’t do well with being boarded so we wanted to find great pet sitters in Greensboro.
They come into our condo, take the dogs outside and for a walk, feed them if needed, follow all instructions for any other specifics (like brushing our dogs’ nasty teeth haha), and play with the dogs for a while before putting them back in the crate. They also leave cute messages about when they were here, what they did, what the dogs did (and if they tried to eat poop haha).
They do a drive for local pet groups a couple times a year and collect food/​items for them which is very sweet.
We very strongly recommend them!
