I’m a dog magnet.

Pet care experience

My home is nestled in a wooded area. Setting 1/4 mike east of Burt Lake. There are many nature trails nearby to provide pleasant walks. My pets are Tabby , a 17 1/2 yr old Brittany / lab mix. Bella is my outside cat, she is 11 years old. Lyra, I inherited when my daughter moved out of state. She is my inside cat, she was a shelter cat when my daughter got her, I expect her to be a little older than Bella and Tommy a stray cat that adopted me 3 years ago. The 4 of us like to take walks in the woods together. It’s always an adventure. Tabby used enjoy strolling the shoreline while I collect rocks in my pockets. Because of her senior age our walks are beyond her abilities anymore. She doesn't seem to mind when I take dogs in my care. Sometimes we just stay home and watch a movie and share a bowl of popcorn.

Loretta is so caring and wonderful with our pets. I never have to worry when Loretta is watching them! We’ve had her pet sit several times and will continue to have her pet sit every time we go away!!

Loratta and Shorty (our shih tzu dog) did well together. We met with Loretta at her home on a Sunday to see if Shorty would go to her, he didm we talked awhile and he smelled his way aroun the house, he seemed fine and we dropped him off at her home in the early morning that following Friday and picked him up on Sunday afternoon. She had sent us a few pictures and one movie of him playing and resting. All was good in everyway. Her home was homey with a few lovely cats as well which was fine as Shorty loves cats too. I would recomment Loretta for anyone to use as their dog sitter. We will if the occassion arises again. Thank you Loretta for your kindness with our dog.

Information Loretta E. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any fears, I will do everything possible to make them feel secure. As an example if storms are frightening I have found ways that comfort my dog, such as a thunder jacket, music, if night close the curtains and turn on the light. There are several ways to comfort. Food aggression is also important to know about.

A typical day

I love to go for walks and it's fun to take my pet guests on new adventures in the many trails or a trip to the beach. My basket of toys is always easily accessible for your pet to explore and to play with. If your pet is lonely I will sit and snuggle and comfort them as needed.
