I am a Pre-Vet student at the University of Maine. I have worked with all different types of animals throughout my life and am passionate about providing them with the best possible quality of life.

I have lived in Maine my whole life. This is my first job working with dogs! I work full time here at Uncommon Dog learning more about the pet care business!

My name is Lucy, I have worked with many different varieties of animals ranging from a fish all the way to a horse. I live on a farm at home with my loving horse Daisy shown in the photo, along with others like goats, bunnies, chickens, you name it. I thrive in any environment where animals are in and I wish to achieve a place where every animal is welcome.
