Pet care experience

Loving Care, Like Family

What sets me apart from other sitters is the level of care, attention, and consistency I provide. I don’t just “watch” dogs — I take the time to understand their routines, personalities, and comfort needs so they feel safe and relaxed while you’re away. I intentionally limit the number of dogs I care for at one time, allowing for individualized attention, a calm environment, and plenty of affection. In our home, dogs are surrounded by love — including from my daughter, who genuinely enjoys helping care for them and gives them extra cuddles, playtime, and attention. With regular updates, clear communication, and genuine care, every dog is treated like family — never just another booking.

Lorraine was fantastic. Professional, courteous, patient, and communicative. We were on a time crunch to get a sitter and Lorraine gave us peace of mind that our dog was in the very best of hands. You should absolutely book with her too.

Lorraine was awesome! She has a great environment in her home for dogs and is super understanding about all of my furbaby’s little quirks. I called her house the dog house because it really did feel like all the dogs were comfortable and welcome there!

I'm so grateful I found Lorraine! She doesn't just watch the dogs, she pays attention to their needs that they might not be overtly expressing. It's so nice to not worry while I'm away and Lorraine lets me do that.

Lorraine was fantastic with Lima!! She took the time to learn about Lima's routines and behavior so she could care for her just like I do. Communication was excellent. She kept me updated and sent pictures, which gave me great peace of mind. I could tell Lima was happy and comfortable with her. I highly recommend Lorraine and would definitely book with her again!

Lorraine did an absolutely wonderful job caring for my GSD while I was away. She built an immediate connection with him, which gave me great confidence from the start. Throughout my time away, she kept me updated on their walks, his feedings, and his overall demeanor, which really put my mind at ease. It was clear that Lorraine genuinely cares about the dogs she looks after, her attention, reliability, and warmth stood out in every interaction. I returned to a happy, well cared for dog, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter.

Schedule

Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because I work from home full-time. This allows me to be present throughout the day for walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship—rather than leaving dogs alone for long stretches. I also have a small Yorkie at home, which helps keep our daily schedule consistent and structured, from regular potty breaks to walk times and meals. We’re lucky to have a nearby dog park that we walk to daily, giving dogs regular exercise, fresh air, and social enrichment as part of their routine. This established rhythm creates a calm, predictable environment where dogs can settle in quickly, while I remain available to supervise, respond to needs, and provide plenty of affection throughout the day.

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their established routines as closely as possible to minimize stress, including feeding schedules, walks, medication, and preferred play or rest times. I treat each home with respect and provide regular updates, photos, and clear communication so pet parents have peace of mind. In both settings, pets are cared for with patience, affection, and individualized attention—never rushed and never treated like just another booking.
