Lucas is a very thoughtful and caring dog walker. My elderly dog Nicky likes to dawdle on walks and Lucas was kind and ket him enjoy himself, did not hurry him along. They still had a decently long walk which Nicky loved! I recommend Lucas, especially if you need that extra touch of care for your pooch.
Details: 1 dog • 10 years or older • Small (16 - 25 lbs) • 30 minutes (standard) • Prefer a private walk for my dog(s) alone • My home, venue, etc.

We found Lucas on thumbtack after reading his rave reviews. When we reached out to chat with him he offered to come to our home and meet and interact with our dog. He shared more about him, his approach, how he works with dogs and their owners. It’s now been several months working together. We have Lucas walk our anxious golden 4x a week. He always does the full hour, communicates with us any incidents, and gives her many pets and treats. We’d recommend Lucas to other owners looking for a consistent walker and protector of your dog

Lucas is an incredibly professional and caring dog walker... our dog can be easily triggered when he is out and Lucas can manage that confidently. We really appreciate the help he is giving us.

Lucas has been wonderful to work with! Our dog has separation anxiety, and Lucas has been a huge comfort for him. Lucas has tremendous knowledge, patience and love for our 4-legged family member. Brewster loves his walks and time with Lucas. Would highly recommend his services.

Lucas is great. Has tons of experience walking a wide variety of dogs and his knowledge of how to deal with dogs is excellent. On top of that, he loves the dogs greatly:)
