Information Lorene W. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any special needs or preferences! Also, any reactivity potential or preferences in activities or walking areas. Does your dog hate to go outside in the rain? Do they need a raincoat? Do you have a neighbor who we should avoid?

A typical day

I am generally available to fit your preferred schedule. At our pre-sitting meeting, we will develop a schedule and discuss sleeping arrangements and any special needs. I like to go on long walks in new places, with your dog as a companion!

Responsible Pet-Loving Professional

Pet care experience

I am a female accounting professional by day, pet sitter by night! I'm in the process of obtaining my MBA online from Penn State University. I grew up with dogs, birds, fish, guinea pigs and rabbits, and I am comfortable caring for all types of pets. I currently share my home with a tuxedo cat. I live in Penderbrook, Fair Oaks, and I am available for pets in Northern Fairfax County (Springfield, Burke, Fairfax, Chantilly, Centerville, Clifton). I have a lifetime of experience with all types of pets, although I am not completely comfortable with reptiles and spiders but I'm willing to learn. I am available most nights and weekends, and will gladly perform extra services (dispensing medication, watering plants, etc.). I will tailor walks, visits and feedings to your preferred schedule. References are available upon request.

Always happy to have Lorene sit with my boys as she gives plenty of love and attention, to the point they don’t even miss us when we’re gone. Would highly recommend for snuggles and comfortable walks.

We asked Lorene to check in on our boys so we could go to a Caps game. She was great; gave them a good walk and administered their eye drops. Lorene always gives us a report card and some cute pictures. I would highly recommend!!

I love having Lorene take care of our fur babies. She gives us a daily report along with pictures of the boys to keep us informed on the stay. Lorene follows directions for feeding and medication and has been available to receive any mail or packages that may come in. I highly recommend Lorene for your needs and don’t delay on requesting her services; she is in high demand.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
