Here to love pets and meet needs!

Pet care experience

I LOVE animals so much - when I was little, I dreamed of being a vet just so I could be around them every day. When I was in high school, I would frequently volunteer at our local animal shelter and socialize with the cats and dogs, just so I could hold some cute fur babies for a while! My first ever care taking experience was with a friend's 3 pets. It was a full house, with 2 dogs and a cat. Taking care of those 3 babies was the best decision I ever made, because it not only showed me how important an attentive and caring sitter is, but it also brought me into the world of pet care. Ever since then, I've taken care of a variety of pets! From clingy pitbulls that needed my attention 24/7, (I was all too happy to give it), to adorable senior pups that needed their pee pads changed frequently, I've seen and done it all. I've even taken care of a flea ridden cat, who received infinite cuddles after I had to put them through a grueling flea bath. I know that pets are practically children, and that their needs differ from pet to pet, but that they're all equally important. I promise to care for your baby with all the love in the world, and I will honor any request you have to ensure the best care possible :) I currently work from home and my roommate has the sweetest dog in the world. Because I live with a dog and I'm home the most often, I typically take care of his daily routines like feeding, walking, playtime, etc. Your pets and your home are sacred and I will treat it as such - I will respect the space and your privacy, and will honor the boundaries we set. Pets are part of your home and I will treat them with the same respect and love that I'll give to your home. I'd prefer an overview of their needs (and your wants) and I'll honor those requests. You'll get photos and videos of your loved ones as much or as little as you'd like so you can stay connected. They will miss you dearly and time will fly by! :) In any home, I understand that there are rules and boundaries to be respected. I will do my absolute best to respect the privacy of your home, and I will treat your pets as the ruler of the household. Safety will always be my number one priority, followed closely by lots of fun!

Loren did a wonderful job caring for my senior dog Leo. Every step of the way, from the first meeting to the last check-in, she was responsive, flexible, and attentive to Leo's needs. I would recommend Loren to anyone in need of a dog-sitter. She did a great job, and I plan to hire her again in the future.

Loren did an amazing job caring for our dogs while we were on vacation. It was very obvious how much Loren cares for animals. We never had any concerns about our dogs while they were under her care. I highly recommend her!

Loren is a wonderful dog caregiver! She took care of my dog Pepper for a few days while I was out of town. She gave me updates on how Pepper was doing throughout the week. Pepper is very energetic and requires a lot of maintenance, and Loren handled her so well! I would 100% recommend Loren to any other person looking for a responsible dog-sitter!

Loren looked after my pets (2 dogs & 1 cat) while I was out of town & she did a wonderful job! She took great care of them & showed them lots of love and attention. She also sent me pictures of them while I was away so I could see how well they were doing! I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again & I would definitely recommend her to anyone in need of a trustworthy dog sitter!!

A typical day

I love to go on walks throughout my neighborhood (having pets is a great excuse to get my 10,000 steps in). I'm relatively new to Chicago, so I typically walk around the city everyday just to explore and see new things, so having a walking companion would be awesome. I will happily play any games that your pet knows, and will always find a way to keep them entertained and happy. I also love teaching pets new tricks, so let me know if that's something you're interested in!

I work from home and my roommate has a dog, so I'm used to taking care of his daily needs such as eating, exercise, and socializing! My work schedule is pretty flexible, so I'm able to accommodate any needs that a pet may have throughout the day. It's been a joy to live with a dog, and I wish to provide that level of comfort to your pets as well!
