Get your dog in Top Condition

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!

Doggy Day Care • Aug 31, 2025

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.

Loretta was very accommodating to our very spoiled rescues Bella & Scout. She is a true dog lover who is patient and kind. To make things easier for Loretta and our fur babies, we gave her detailed information about each pup (habits, likes/dislikes, behavior patterns, etc) so she was well equipped! Loretta provided regular updates and some photos. Everyone looked happy! Loretta was also very flexible with drop off and pick up times. As a fellow Rover sitter, I totally understand the expectations of pet parents, and the desire to have pups comfortable while in your care. Loretta did a great job with Bella & Scout all around!

Pets

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.
