Responsible Pet-Loving Professional

Pet care experience

I am a female accounting professional by day, pet sitter by night! 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 snakes and tarantulas. 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.

She is so great with my two cats & provides great episodes! This was my second time using Lorene & always makes me feel comfortable when away.

Lorene took great care of our 13 yr old rescue, Fozzie! She communicated extremely well and managed all of Fozzie’s medicine and feeding instructions to the tee. Fozzie can’t wait to see her again!

We would definitely book Lorene to housesit again! She was wonderful at communicating with us while we were gone, our dogs looked happy and well taken care of, and our house was pristine upon our arrival back home.
