Information Loretta I. would like to know about your pet

Does the dog have current vaccinations (ie rabies, lepto, distemper, parvo)? Does the dog have any medical conditions and need any medications- if yes these can be administered (owner must provide medications). Will the owner provide food for the dog? Is the dog on any special diet? Are there any activity restrictions. Does the dog have a history of aggression or biting either humans or other dogs? Dog preferences: Terriers, hounds, toy breeds and small non-sporting, small sporting, and small herding breeds. Specific breed preferences: Sporting dogs-Clumber Spaniel, Cocker Spaniel, English Cocker, English Springer, Sussex Spaniel, Welsh Springer and those that are mixed with other small sporting breeds; Hounds- Basenji, Basset Hound, Beagle, Dachshund, Portuguese Podengo Pequeno, Whippet and those that are mixed with other small hound breeds. Terriers- All Terrier Breeds. Toys-All Toy Breeds.

A typical day

Walking on grassy areas always on leash. Some areas have hills. If your dog loves to play "fetch"; there is a fully fenced back yard to throw a ball and run to catch it. I have plenty of dog toys if a dog prefers toys and many dog beds for snoozing.

Pets

Get your dog in Top Condition

Pet care experience

I am a Show Dog exhibitor for the past 20 years. My dogs are currently shown and have won at the largest and most prestigious dog shows in the country. They have won at The Kennel Club of Philadelphia in Oaks, Pennsylvania and the Westminster Kennel Club. Why have they won? They are in top condition. How do they get to be in great condition? It's not by special foods, treats or medications. Your dog will be power walked and conditioned. In addition, we will have play time. Your dog will always be on leash. Your dog will be treated as if he is one of my Show Dogs. I am very aware of a dog's physical and mental status. Why choose someone whose experience is simply that "they Love Dogs". Wouldn't you rather choose someone who not only "Loves Dogs" but wants to see them in the best condition and health they could possibly be in? Or if you want your dog to go for a leisurely walk that's fine too. I am certified in Pet CPR and First Aid. I will need 48 hours notice when you schedule to board your dog with me. Available for dogs living in Westchester/Rockland Counties and Upstate New York, Long Island, Connecticut and New Jersey.

This was my first time booking with Loretta, and she took amazing care of my dog Benji. I received picture updates, and he looked so happy and comfortable. I'll definitely book again!

Luna had an amazing time at the dog sitter; when she came home, she was relaxed and low-energy. Loretta took well care of Luna, made sure she was fed and walked her in the backyard. Very grateful for the doggy day care services!

Loretta was amazing! She cares so well for our babies Gigi and Jake. We will certainly go back to her next time we travel. She is obviously a pro at this and truly loves dogs!

Loretta is great - and a real dog lover. It was the first time our four-month old puppy would be away from home, so even though it was for only one day (and one night) we were a little anxious. The minute we left Loretta's home, however, we knew our dog was in good hands.

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.
