i have been using Nicole ( lucy goo) since 2009 when she gave a seminar at our high rise downtown.. she has taken care of our cat and cats since then. Wonderful service. we have got to know the wonderful staff and sitters she has. The best thing about them is the personalized service they provide. its like a family atmosphere. this is so important because when we travel several times a year, we feel very safe and comfortable with their taking care of our cats, which is soooo important. We can actually enjoy our vacations knowing our cats are well taken care of.. When one of our cats passed away 2 years ago, Nicole sent a beautiful card and a picture that i didnt even know she had of our Chance. It brought tears to our eyes and i still have that Polaroid on the front of our refrigerator .. Just a great group of people from Nicole to top down to the managemnt and sitters. I could go on and on, but i think i made my point.. LUCY GOO is the best pet care i have experienced. Ron S. read more

Lucy Goo has been helping me with my cat for years when I go out of town. They are reliable, responsive and overall super nice and flexible.

I cannot recommend Lucy Goo enough!! Every walker/sitter that has come to care for my little pug Chubbs has been so thorough and kind. I have come to trust them fully with my sweet boy. If you are in need of a walker or sitter that will care for your pet like it's their own then look no further! read more

This was our first time using a dog sitting/walking service. The registration website and parent pet portal was super easy to use and extremely detailed. Our sitter Cameron came over a couple days early for a meet and greet with our two rescue dogs. When it came time for the service he was right on time. Walked, fed and gave dogs their favorite treats. He even took out our garbage. Needless to say we will be using their services again. read more

Lucy Goo took care of our two cats while we were traveling, and it was perfect! They took the time to play with them so when we got home the cats were happy and we'll fed. Thanks Lucy Goo! read more

Lucy Goo has been there for us to take care of our cats whenever we travel. One of our cats needs medication twice day. Nicole took the time to understand his needs and get to know him (he has nervous barbering and when stressed or anxious will pull out his fur). Jack is comfortable with her (as comfortable as a crabby cat will get) and lets her give him his medication. We love that she takes such good care of both our cats. read more

I hired Lucy Goo to take care of my dogs and was very happy with the service they provided. They sent me reports and a picture with every visit and were great to communicate with. Lucy Goo is very personable while being professional; I'll continue to use them again and again! Thank you so much! read more

Lucy Goo has been walking my mini schnauzer for over a year now. They have been entirely consistent with their services and very responsive! I live in a large complex so sometimes we see Lucy Goo walkers when I am walking my pup, she is always so glad to see them and it warms my heart! She generally ignores strangers, so she clearly recognizes them and is happy to see them:). They provide a brief summary of her activities and a photo as well. read more

Lucy Goo Pet Sitting - Pet Sitting Near Me

Lucy Goo is THE place to look if you want a reliable dog walker or sitter. They care about my dogs just as much as I do and might spoil them more than I do. All of the walkers and sitters are so loving and caring and I would recommend them to anyone! They have taught my dogs how to pose for all the great pics they send after each visit and they've even cleaned up messes my dogs have made before. I can't say enough amazing things about this company and these people! read more

We just used these folks to take care of our 9-year old lab and three cats, and will definitely use them again. Nicole met us before the trip and spent a good hour reviewing all the details on our pets' particulars on food, walks, vets, as well as details on mail, papers, and trash pickup. While we were gone, we received several email updates. At home, we found notes left on each day for each visit. Our lab is a bit on the nervous side and has exhibited a bit of anxiety when we've returned from other trips with other sitters. This time, she was completely calm - as if we never had left. Cat boxes were perfectly clean and cats had been brushed daily. Garbage had been taken out and mail neatly organized. I highly recommend this service! read more

In my opinion, Lucy Goo is the best pet sitting company in Houston (my dogs and I have been here for 8 years and have tried 3 other pet sitters before landing on Lucy Goo). They are professional, reliable and caring. A few of the things they do that I really appreciate: they double leash the dogs to ensure they can't break away, carry protection in case another dog is coming in to attack, give the dogs plenty of love when they visit, leave clean and fresh food and water bowls, send updates every time they see the dogs with a write up of activities and pictures. Also, if they ever need to bring a new sitter into my home to care for the dogs, Nicole (the owner) always reaches out to me first to make sure I am okay with it. I recently went on a two and a half week vacation and left my pups in their care. When I returned, the dogs greeted me as if I had just come home from work. I'm not going to lie, at first I was a little surprised (what the heck, guys?). They are usually ecstatic when I return from vacation. Then I realized that the Lucy Goo team had done such an INCREDIBLE job that my dogs barely even missed me :). Thank you, Lucy Goo! read more

The Lucy Pet Sitting team has taken great care of my two dogs for quite some time. I travel a ton for work and they have always been reliable, flexible, and professional. Its a great feeling to know your pets are with loving and trustworthy individuals. Highly recommended! read more

Nicole, Juli and "Team Goo" are amazing!! I highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a pet sitting company they can trust. They are affordable, reliable and trustworthy, and they have been very flexible and accommodating during times that my travel plans have been unexpectedly extended. I even get pictures and visit updates emailed to me every time they walk my pups! Thank you!! read more

We've been using Lucy Goo for a few years and are extremely pleased with their services. We had 1 very old Pomeranian who required a lot of meds and could trust Becca to administer the meds properly and treat him lovingly and gently. We currently have 2 rambunctious Chihuahua mixes and can count on Nancy to give them enough love, attention, and walks. We also have 4 very fussy cats who are all comfortable with Nancy (which is saying a lot!). It's a pleasure working with them and HIGHLY recommend their services. read more

Lucy Goo and team have been my dog walker for the past 2 years. They have always provided great service. I would recommend them to anyone. Buddy Willis read more

Lucy Goo Pet Sitting did an amazing job taking care of my cat while I was away on vacation! I really appreciate the communication and the professionalism they provided and I will be using their services again! read more

The best! I've been using Lucy Goo for daily dog walks and pet sitting for over a year now--I could not be happier. Nicole goes above and beyond to accommodate my schedule and make sure my dog gets plenty of attention while I'm at work. She frequently spends extra time with him during the day. I truly appreciate how flexible she is; she has been much more accommodating of last minute schedule changes than the last service I used. I've recommended Lucy Goo to a number of friends, all of whom have been just as happy with their experience. read more

I'm very particular about who I let watch my dog, and so I was a bit anxious about leaving him with a pet sitter; however, all of my options were exhausted, and many of my friends raved about the quality of Lucy Goo Pet Sitting. So I took their advice, met with Nicole, and never regretted my decision. I left town knowing my dog was in more than capable hands--and an added bonus for me: Lucy Goo uses eco-friendly products! (Now, why I'm sure my little dog-star could care less, I think eco-savvy is the way to go.) All in all, I'm so glad I went with Lucy Goo Pet Sitting, and will be using this excellent service again. While I still travel with my pup, I don't feel unsure about leaving him at home, knowing Nicole is just a phone call away. read more

Started using Lucy Goo to take care of my cat when I started having to travel for work and it's been awesome. They always respond to my texts or emails, keep me updated on how Shadow is doing and even do great keeping up with her medication. And it's great for Shadow since she doesn't do well being boarded. I can't imagine ever boarding her again. Highly recommended! read more

This was my first time to use LucyGoo. I have used several other pet sitters in the past but this was by far the best! I have a senior cat who is very set in his ways and they catered to him like a king! I came home to a very happy cat that I'm pretty sure didn't miss me much with all the attention he got from LucyGoo!! :) read more

Lucy Goo Pet Sitting is amazing! Very detailed and precise when caring for your pet(s). They learn everything about them, from their temperament, to their feeding schedule, and beyond. I will always trust them with my pet sitting needs. They definitely make leaving your furry friends home a lot easier! They also update you via email each time they visit your pet, which is greatly appreciated. Go team Goo! read more

I had previously reviewed this business, but for some reason this site found that it was no longer recommended. I guess I should try not to take that personally. I have used Lucy Goo as my pet sitter for my loving-yet-neurotic cat every time I go out of town. As a result of my cat's finicky nature, I have to leave several (and by several I mean about a page and a half worth) of instructions on what to do etc. I have found that my instructions are always followed. In fact, my cat seems to love the run of the house while I am out of town, having Lucy Goo sitters taking care of all of his 'chores' without the burden of living full time with other humans. Ha! I recommend Lucy Goo, if they can please my cat, they are skilled sitters! read more

I'm very pleased with the service. They truly love animals and that's what comes first here.

Nicole is a very conscientious, caring owner, and would never do anything neglectful to harm any animal. I would suggest that there was a miscommunication, but not an omission. I would trust her with any of my pets, without hesitation. read more

Not sure how my review disappeared but I am reviewing again! I have used Lucy Goo for the last 5 years since moving to Houston. I have always been pleased and thankful for their services. I used them as daily walkers since my work days are incredibly long most days and I've also used their boarding services as well as multiple daily walks while I'm away for a few days. I've occasionally happened to be home for one reason or another when the walker comes and Bouncer is ALWAYS elated to see her friend come through the door. Unfortunately we have moved outside of the coverage area recently and my dog truly seemed to be grieving the loss of her friend Andrew (her daily walker). Thankfully when I was in a bind and needing to be out of town and my care plans for her had fallen through at the last minute, Lucy Goo, Nicole, and Andrew saved the day by making an exception and traveling outside of their coverage area for just a couple days for us. I can't help but think that Bouncer wanted to tell Andrew how much she missed him and how thankful she was that her mama finally gave him our new address! Thanks for years of fantastic service Lucy Goo! read more

We have been beyond pleased with Lucy Goo! They are reliable, professional and caring-- I have no doubt that they take good care of my baby. We highly recommend their services! read more

The Lucy Goo team is outstanding. I felt so comfortable leaving my little high maintenance Yorkie with them. They treated Milo like their own and went out of their way to make me feel better. Nicole was just a text, email, phone call away and she and her team would always send me pictures throughout their time with him to keep in touch. I'm so grateful for their care. Milo recently passed away, and they even made donations in his honor to the SPCA. I am humbled by this caring group of people and will definitely rely on them when it's time to get a new little doggie. I love them so much! read more

I'm going to be honest - I was pretty hesitant to use a pet sitter to watch my pets for the week that I was out of town. I had never left my pets with strangers, and the idea that I would leave my keys with a stranger with the freedom to come into my home whenever was a little bit scary. After looking through Yelp reviews for a good pet sitting company, I decided to put my faith with Lucy Goo - and I was not disappointed at all. I loved that they were so quick with communication. I had absolutely no problem getting a hold of anyone by phone or by email. I really appreciated the daily visit reports. My sitter (Kelly) was really detailed about providing me information about how my dogs were doing. She was really thorough with taking care of my two dogs - even though I know my dogs aren't the easiest to look after. One of my dogs, unfortunately, got sick towards the end of the week while in her care. She was quick to contact me about his condition and offered extra help if I wanted. Overall, it was a really great experience and I would definitely recommend them to anyone. read more

We searched for the best we could find to whom to entrust our 2 dogs and 2 cats. We were terribly disillusioned when corresponding with Lucy Goo via e-mail. We were made to feel that the company was not interested in our particular pet sitting job. We finally gave up. Sounds like 4 pets were too much for Nicole and company to handle. Should have indicated that in the first place instead of stringing us along. Mark and Stephanie R. read more

What a great team!! I have been using Lucy Goo Pet Sitting ever since I brought home my Swissy puppy in June and could not ask for a greater pet sitter. Nicole is so dependable and is committed to making sure my puppy is taken care of when I am not able to make it home midday. read more

This review has been a long time coming! I have been using Lucy Goo's superior services since my 1 year old Goldendoodle was a brand new little pup. One of his absolute favourite people in the world is Mercy, who is sent to us weekly from Lucy Goo. Both Mercy and Nicole have been more than accommodating to my scheduling requests and are kind, warm and wonderful to be around. I cannot recommend their services enough! Thanks for everything Nicole and Mercy! read more

YOU CAN COUNT ON THIS BUSINESS! I have never had an issue with this group of pet visit angels. Nicole Bruder, the owner, personally cared for my pets, and made me feel so at ease with being away from them. This is a business where you must interview the workers, and if you meet any of the Lucy Goo staff, you will never go to another company for your loved pets! read more

Great, great pet sitting company. Nicole is great with animals, and puts just as much love and attention toward the pets she takes care of as she does into her own pets! Definitely a trustworthy company. When leaving town, you will feel your pets are in great hands! read more

Do NOT use this business. I Just used this business over the weekend for my two Westies while I was out of town. I scheduled through the owner, Nicole Bruder, to have a dog walker come to my house several times a day Friday-Monday, to feed, walk, give them water, give them their medicine and overall take care of them while I was gone. Nicole sent me a detailed invoice before I left listing all the costs and extra holiday costs, however upon coming home Monday at 6 PM I find that Nicole forgot to hire a walker for the last day of my trip so my dogs, stuck upstairs, had not been fed, given water, taken out, etc since 9 PM the night before. Not only were they stuck upstairs since neither can get downstairs themselves one also had poop all over his body. This woman is a criminal for claiming she takes care of pets. No one should place their pets in harms way by hiring this woman. For some reason I can only post if I click on a. Star, not note this business gets NO stars and should be reported read more

Quite possibly the best pet-sitting service in the universe--and I've had a few. Nicole did an extensive initial visit and asked all about our cat's habits and tastes. When I told her that we had never been able to interest him in a water dish or dispenser, she said, "Why not try giving him water in a mug or glass instead?" Over the years, multiple vets have told me that he needed to drink water, but they could never explain to me how to get him to drink. Nicole's idea worked and will probably add months or years to his life. She also was the first to notice that he had acquired some fleas, helping us to take action early and prevent a more severe infestation. She not only made sure that our cat was fed in our absence; she helped us learn how to take better care of him ourselves. Also, she emailed her visit reports, along with a photo of our cat, every day. I can't recommend this service highly enough. read more

I'm a cat person so I'm very particular about who watches my 2 kitties. And my cats are very needy in the attention department. But I know they're in good hands with Nicole. She texts me pictures of the cats cuddling with her so I know they're doing well and don't worry about them. And she leaves notes each time she visits. She even petsat for us when my one cat was having intestinal issues. There were all these special instructions for his food and shall I say "extra clean-up" needed. She followed everything and we came home to happy kitties. She also petsat for us for a weekend when we first put our house on the market. She made sure everything stayed clean, especially in the litter box area. We came home to a spotless house and our house actually sold that weekend!!! So it must have stayed looking great!! We were so thankful to have someone we could trust to watch the house and the kitties. We have since moved from the Houston area, but we'll definitely miss Nicole!! She's the best!! read more
