I work Monday through Friday full time. I have watched both big and small dogs on this schedule and have had no issues. This might not work for all dogs during the week as each one is different.

I baby gate my stairs so my cats can run around upstairs and come down to check out your dog if they want. At night your dog can stay downstairs loose if you tell me he/she is ok that way or crated. If he/she needs to be with me in the same room at night that works too, but preferably in a crate as my cats sleep with me. If it is only for a weekend I can put the cats in my spare bedroom at night so your dog would not have to be crated in my room. Every dog is different, so I am flexible. I live across from the Mississippi Gateway Regional park in a townhouse with lots of trails for walking. I am only a 10 minute walk from a dog park. I will take your dog out as often as you let me know he/she needs to go out. Like I said , I work full time during the week, so I might not fit your dogs needs if he/she is not able to hold it while I am gone at work. Weekends I am home.

Information Loretta B. would like to know about your pet
You know your dog best, so whatever advice you can give me about his character and likes/dislikes is greatly appreciated. I am very open to you bringing your dog over to my place to meet me and check out my place before you go on vacation. That gives you and your fur baby a chance to check out my place and it is a positive experience for your dog to kind of get to know me a little.
A typical day
There are lots of trails with lots of smells for your dog to explore with me. Going to the dog park if you feel your dog would be comfortable and love it. Only a 10 minute walk from my place.

Pet care experience
I grew up on a farm with 2 dogs and lots of other animals. Both dogs were part of the family and slept in the house. One always by my bed. I owned a Boxer and a Yorkie as an adult. They were part of the family growing up with my kids. Both dogs have crossed the Rainbow Bridge and my kids are adults living their best lives with their significant others. I have two loving cats. I volunteer with the MN Boxer Rescue picking up and transporting to foster care when it meshes with my schedule. Recently put my name on their list for emergency foster care just to get the dog in need here to Minnesota until a long term foster care provider is available. I enjoy pet sitting for my dog fix and it helps support my horseback riding lessons😊
Reviews
Loretta was absolutely wonderful! She watched Leo twice this month when we needed extra help, and he came home incredibly happy each time. She treated him just like a member of her own family and kept us updated with frequent pictures. We will definitely be using Loretta again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great pet sitter!
Mocha had lots of fun with Loretta! Mocha got to go on many walks, and was provided with more than enough time to get all the exercise she needed. Loretta was very attentive to Mocha, and ensured all her needs were always met!
Lori was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Finn. She walked him every day, gave him plenty of love and attention, and kept us updated with photos throughout his stay. It is clear she genuinely cares about animals. Our dog can be a bit anxious, but he felt comfortable and happy with her, which gave us so much peace of mind. She was a joy to work with, and we would absolutely trust her again. Highly recommend!
Lori is one of the few people I would trust completely to care for my animals. She is a deeply passionate animal lover, and throughout my life I’ve watched her provide attentive, knowledgeable care to dogs, cats, horses, reptiles, and other small pets. She loves spending time outdoors and makes it a priority to ensure the animals in her care get the exercise and fresh air they need. She is highly active and capable of handling dogs of all sizes and energy levels with confidence. Lori is also exceptionally clean and organized, maintaining a safe, well-kept environment for both pets and people. In addition to caring for her granddaughter, she regularly dedicates her time to looking after dogs whenever she can. Most importantly, Lori is dependable, responsible, and fully committed to every animal she cares for. Anyone would be lucky to have her looking after their pets.
