Loretta was a dependable sitter for my more senior dog Hannah. She was great with giving her the walks and exercise she needed as well as keeping up with her medication. Hannah loved spending time with Loretta - she is very caring and loving and attuned to animals. Loretta watched her for me overnight including a 2 week long period when I was out of the country. I felt very at ease knowing Hannah had a great person to watch her and Loretta send lots of photos and updates which helps, too! I definitely recommend Loretta for responsible, trusting care for your pets.

Loretta is dependable and detail oriented; she follows client instructions carefully. She is able to make quick decisions in emergency situations and has excellent communication.

Grateful to have someone so trustworthy and easy to coordinate with. She treats my pets as though they were hers. She listens to little details that others might find unimportant, and has no problem with asking for clarification to ensure everyone is SAFE and LOVED. She thinks proactively and follows up after every session with an attention to detail that's unfortunately hard to come by. I would trust her more than I trust my own friends LOL and that's because she's truly earned it. My pets love her, even my grumpy cat.

I will insist on clear directions and will ask questions to best care for your animals. I am willing to handle more difficult to handle dogs but clear communication is a must. It is one thing if a dog is unruly but untrained dogs can be dangerous and I need the client to be completely truthful about their dog's temperament.
