Pet care experience

Safe and loving care for your pets!

Calm, relaxing, loving home for your pet! I work from home so am here almost all day and night. Safe and cared for while you’re gone. I have a huge fenced in yard, and additional acres to walk your dog leashed if you’d like me too. It’s quiet here. Your pet will be comfortable in his own space near me. We have no cats living here at this time but they are always welcomed! I will follow whatever walking, and eating instructions that you set for your pet, to keep their schedules as normal as possible to help relieve the stress of being away. Our home is their home! I’m fully insured and able to handle any needs your pet has! I was a certified medical assistant and phlebotomist (blood draws) so healthcare is in my background also.

Couldn't be happier with everything Lorinda did for me and my Bella honestly!! I think Bella might have wanted to stay there she was so happy. Bella got to play with other dogs and Lorinda had no problem with the med schedule for Bella's seizures. Great with communication and will definitely be contacting her for our next trip!!

Lorinda is the absolute best. My two dogs love her so much, she’s great at communicating despite her busy schedule, and it seems like she always knows what my boys need. The best thing I can say is she treats my boys like they’re her own.

Lorinda was FANTASTIC! I had some serious concerns about leaving our reactive dog and 3 month old kitten with someone, but she was so reassuring, answered all my questions, explained the setup she had to keep animals safe, and kept me updated during our week away. I highly recommend her!

We call her the dog whisperer! She provided great care for our two pups, one of whom I would describe as a problem child. She did not see it that way and Baxter came home relaxed and happy. She was also flexible when the weather turned bad and allowed me to adjust my pick up time. Very happy to have found Lorinda!

Safety, trust & environment

My home is private, quiet and safe. It is large and has a nice big fenced yard that I will walk your pet in. I will walk your dog every 2 hours and will not let your pet go outside without me. I have two dogs, Latte, a 40lb retriever mix that was a rescue, and is very sweet, but timid around people she doesn’t know, and Gracie Mae, Golden Retriever, that is 6 months old, 50 lbs, and learning to be a gentle not wild sister to Latte! I always safely separate dogs from different families.
