Pet care experience
Experienced & Loving Pet Care
I’ve been around dogs and cats my entire life and currently have two dogs and two cats of my own. I started walking dogs at 12 years old and spent multiple summers walking dogs to earn money for trips. Since I was 13, I have also provided in-home dog sitting for various families. I have hands-on experience with feeding, walking, playtime, cleaning up after pets, and providing attentive care while owners are away. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved.

Safety, trust & environment
Safety and peace of mind are my absolute top priorities when caring for your pets in your home. I strictly follow all owner instructions to maintain your pet's regular routine and keep them feeling secure in their home environment. I pay close attention to safety during walks, double-check that doors and gates are secure, and ensure hazardous items stay out of reach. You can count on reliable communication and regular photo updates during every visit so you know your home and pets are completely safe.
Ratings and reviews
**Testimonial Draft** Loriann house-sat and dog-sat for us a while back, and she did an absolutely amazing job caring for our two Weimaraners. Anyone who knows Weimaraners knows how high-energy, needy, and sensitive they can be, but Loriann handled both of them with complete ease and patience. She took the time to keep up with their exercise needs, strictly followed their daily routine, and made sure they felt safe and loved the entire time we were away. Her communication was fantastic—she kept our house immaculate and sent frequent updates so we never had to worry for a second. Loriann is responsible, trustworthy, and has a true natural talent with high-energy dogs. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter!
I can’t recommend my daughter highly enough as a pet caregiver. She has grown up caring for our two cats and two large dogs and is responsible for their daily feeding, exercise, and enrichment. She is attentive to their individual personalities and needs and treats them as members of the family. She has also gained significant experience caring for pets with medical and mobility needs. She helped care for one of our cats following emergency hip surgery, including managing his recovery and keeping a close eye on him for any problems, including creating innovating ways to encourage a kitten to allow heat and cold therapy to the hip. She also played a major role in caring for our dog after a TPLO knee surgery. For several weeks, she accompanied her on every trip outside to prevent running or jumping, helped her bear weight safely, and even assisted with carrying her hind end up and down the stairs to the backyard when she was unable to manage them herself. She is patient, observant, gentle, and dependable, and she takes the responsibility of caring for animals very seriously. I have complete confidence in her ability to follow care instructions, recognize when something is wrong, and provide pets with both the physical care and affection they need. I would trust her with any of my animals, and I think she would be an excellent choice for anyone looking for a responsible and compassionate pet sitter.
**Testimonial Draft** Loriann has been caring for our dogs for years, and we couldn't ask for a better, more trustworthy sitter. She started walking our energetic Boxer when she was just a teenager, and from day one, we were completely blown away by her professionalism, reliability, and natural way with animals. Boxers have so much energy and require a very attentive caregiver, but Loriann handled everything with complete confidence and ease. She has impressive experience managing a wide variety of breeds and temperaments. She is always punctual, follows our care and routine instructions to a T, and sends frequent photo updates so we can enjoy our time away with total peace of mind. It is rare to find someone who is both so dependable and genuinely passionate about animals. Loriann treats our pets like her own family every single time she steps through the door. We recommend her without reservation to anyone looking for top-notch, loving care for their pets!
**Testimonial Draft** I have watched Loriann care for animals her entire life, and her work ethic, maturity, and genuine love for pets are truly top-tier. Starting at just 12 years old, she took the initiative to build her own pet-sitting and dog-walking business from the ground up to fund her own travel goals, showing a level of dedication, independence, and responsibility that is rare to see. Over the years, she has gained extensive hands-on experience handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments, from energetic Labradors to giant breeds like Great Pyrenees. Beyond dogs, she has lived with and cared for cats her whole life, giving her a deep, natural understanding of feline behavior and unique care routines. Loriann treats every pet under her watch with the exact same love, attention, and respect as if they were her own. She is exceptionally thorough with instructions, incredibly safety-conscious, and completely reliable. I couldn't be prouder of her dedication to animal care, and any owner can rest completely easy knowing their pets and home are in her capable hands.

Schedule
Because I work part-time as a backup, my schedule has great built-in flexibility. While my exact hours can vary week to week, pet care is a top priority for me, and I can easily adapt to fit your pet's needs. I am available for early morning, evening, and weekend care, as well as flexible drop-in visits and house sitting. I always communicate my availability in advance and aim to accommodate your preferred feeding, walking, and care routines as smoothly as possible.

- I’ve worked with many different breeds, including Weimaraners, Labradors, Great Pyrenees, Boxers, and Golden Retrievers, so I’m comfortable with a variety of sizes, personalities, and energy levels. Please let me know about your dog’s routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any special behaviors or preferences. I’d also love to know how they do around other dogs, new people, and unfamiliar environments so I can make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away.
