Who We Are
Micah Cooper Bailey opened Lucy’s Friends in 2003 in Greensboro, North Carolina. We started with two clients—a Golden Retriever named Winston and a Dalmatian named Riley. We became popular due to our personalized care and ability to sit for pets with special needs.
Twenty years later, we are still offering personal care with a focus on pets who need a little—or a lot—more than just a walk and some petting. We care for geriatric animals, those needing oral medications, animals with anxiety, and pets who need more hands-on care. We offer overnight sitting on a limited basis, and our Hilton Head location offers care for diabetic pets.
We are a small family business operating two locations—Greensboro and Hilton Head Island—and we love what we do! Give us a call or text!
Lucy was the red and white beagle that inspired our name. She was very friendly, mischievous, and loving. She welcomed everyone into our home–even the homeless beagles we fostered were loved by Lucy. She often shared her crate with the extra-scared foster dogs; they were able to relax due to Lucy’s sweet, gentle personality. Lucy was a special needs dog, and through learning to care for her, we became interested in caring for all types of special needs pets. We found our name and our passion through Lucy, and we were incredibly lucky to have her. Lucy crossed the bridge in 2012 at the age of 11.
