Let me pamper your baby!
Pet care experience
Come let your baby be pampered! I have over 10 years experience working in vet offices, and am an experienced dog walker and sitter. I offer regular walks, am comfortable giving meds & fluids if needed and will give your baby all the love & attention you would give it. I am an animal lover, to the core!!! My own dog gets hour long walks along the Greenbelt and I am happy to bring your fur baby with! If you would prefer your own neighborhood, dogs get walked 2-3 times per day, minimum of 20 minutes per walk. (Depending on size, age, and energy level.) If your pup is a water baby, I'm happy to load them in the car or walk down to the beach, which is a 5 minute walk from my place! Why I love dog sitting: I have always loved dogs and spent 10 years working in an animals hospital, both as a receptionist as well as doing assistant vet tech work. The whole reason I worked there was because of my love of animals. (It certainly wasn't for the money!! Lol) I have had cats my entire life and believe it or not, Suzy is my first dog. In fact, I wasn't even planning on a dog, but I spotted her in the middle of the street, right in front of my house. I let her in, and she never left...(even after losing track of her 2 miles away...she simply found her way back!)...it was just meant to be! My experience administering medication: Yes. I am very familiar with giving meds and can even give insulin, if necessary, which I did for a client who had a pup with diabetes, for 2 years. I work from home part time and have oodles of time for your pet. Need a regular doggie walker while you're at work? Morning walks, sunset on the Strand, or anything in between. I am also available for overnights, in your home. I typically walk dogs 2-3x/day, depending on your dog's age and energy level. In the home, I will feed, make sure water bowls are full, give treats (if allowed) and of course, play and cuddle with your baby. I can also give meds if needed.
Reviews
Absolutely amazing and a lifesaver!!
I needed a sitter last minute and Lorraine was everything and more than I expected. She sent me detailed texts both visits, a map of where they walked and some adorable pictures! I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!
We had a great experience with Lorraine! Looking forward to booking her again :))
Lorraine was reliable and handled Dash well. He came to look forward to his walks with her. Reliabllity was especially important for us. We definitely will be happy to use her again for future trips.

Information Lorraine C. would like to know about your pet
It is always helpful to know if your dog is good with other dogs or people, as our walks will probably involve passing other dogs, and if avoiding them is necessary, this is good info to have ahead of time. The amount of time needed for a proper walk is also helpful. I don't have any breed preferences, or size qualifications. Any breed or size is fine!
A typical day
I love walking the Greenbelt with dogs. It is uber dog-friendly, as anyone who lives down here knows. I also love taking dogs up and down the Strand for a longer walks/runs. Or anywhere else that your dog enjoys. If your dog likes to run, no problem...so do I! If your dog is older or more leisurely, great! we will take it slow, and stop and smell the roses. Playtime in the home is always an option as well. Just let me know where the toys are and/or treats and we'll take it from there!
