Pet care experience
I have been working with dogs since 2018, when I started puppy raising for Southeastern Guide Dogs. After raising a guide dog in training, I began working for Southeastern Guide Dogs as a kennel technician. From there I worked a kennel manager at Love My Dog Daycare. It was during my time at Love My Dog that I got extensive experience caring for dogs of all ages & sizes. I am able to administer shots and medications as well as nail trims and baths. I have been trained in canine CPR & first aid. While I no longer work in pet care full time, I continue to pet sit & foster for Pawfect Match.
Reviews
Loren took wonderful care of my Shih Tzu, Charlie. She did a great job of introducing her 2 big dogs to little 10lb Charlie. Loren communicated with messages and pictures throughout the day. Charlie was worn out and happy when I picked him up. I will definitely use Loren again when I need care for Charlie.
Loren is top notch! Our dogs loved being able to run around her property and play with her dogs. She sent lots of pictures and updates throughout their stay and was always very quick to respond. Loren is super easy to work with and was very flexible when I had some last minute changes in pick up time. And she gave the boys baths and nail trims- I mean what more could you ask for. 10/10!
Loren was the perfect sitter for Lola! Lola had tons of fun and the pictures that she sent were very reassuring. We will definitely leave Lola with her again💕
Loren is absolutely amazing & I couldn’t have asked for a better caregiver for my pup when I’m away. She is extremely knowledgeable and I trust her with my animals completely. My dog always has a blast with her and comes home happy, healthy, and tired. Loren always goes above and beyond for my pup and his crazy mom. She always loves my dog as her own which I highly appreciate. I feel so confident in Loren’s caregiving that I will continue to use her services as much as possible. I am so thankful I found Loren & her sweet, playful pups. (So is my fur baby) & You and yours will be too!!

Safety, trust & environment
Dogs are allowed on all furniture & there is also a variety of dog beds available to them. We have fresh water available at all times. Your pup will be fed in a separate room from mine to ensure feeding time is a happy time. Your dog will have the ability to go in and out as they please into our fully fenced yard. If you do have a small dog that you would like to stay with us, I will always accompany them outside as a safety precaution - and although my dogs may be big, they absolutely love small dogs. I only host one family at a time so when your dog is here it will only be them & my personal pets. When your pup comes to play they will be able to fully be a dog- running around the yard, exploring in the woods, chasing squirrels, using fallen trees as a playground!

Information Loren H. would like to know about your pet
Before having your pup over I would like to know their temperament and any quirks they may have (no judgement cause my dogs have quite a few themselves lol). This will help me know how to handle them both individually and around my pets as well. I do require a meet and greet prior to having your pup stay with us to ensure that all the pets get along!
A typical day
Everyday I plan on waking up around 7, but it typically ends up being earlier thanks to my dogs eagerness to eat. I feed my dogs while I let our guests out to use the bathroom, then I let my dogs out while I bring our guest in to eat breakfast. I clock in to my remote job at 8am, and work until 5pm. I feed my pups dinner at 4:30, so that by the time I am done working their tummies have settled to go outside (but if your pup has a different feeding schedule I will gladly feed them at your specified times). After 5 we typically spend the evening outside if the weather is nice, and then end the day on the sofa to catch up on an episode of whatever series we are watching (right now it’s Sons of Anarchy). Your pup will have the option to sleep in my room, or if they prefer to sleep in a crate I can set them up in our guest room (I have medium & large dog crates available to use here for convenience). On the weekend we enjoy spending most of the day outside, but even my dogs make me take them inside for breaks. If your pet is here over any holiday or special occasion I can guarantee there will be some kind of pup cake for them to enjoy as we love to go all out for the holidays.

I currently work from home in the Wallburg area of Winston Salem. My boyfriend & I own a rural piece of property, with about 3 acres fully fenced in. During the day your pup will have the ability to go in and out as they please (I act as a personal door opener full time as well lol). We have two five year old dogs at home, as well as a cat who thinks he’s a dog. My dogs are very relaxed and adapt to the energy level of whatever dog is staying with us. If you’ve got a lazy pup - they’ll nap together all day, if they want to play- the boys will keep them busy! When your pup comes to play they will be able to fully be a dog- running around the yard, exploring in the woods, chasing squirrels and using fallen trees as a playground! Adding in the care of an additional dog is no problem, as we often foster & dog sit.
