Care for your dog as i would my own

I worked at a Dog Daycare from 2008 - 2016, watching, caring for, feeding, cleaning up after, etc, dogs overnight. Unfortunately they closed, but now I get to continue caring for dogs and / or cats via Rover. I find it can be a very rewarding job and a stress reliever. My husband and I currently have a shepherd mix dog and 2 cats that we care for at our own home. Contact me if you need me to walk your dog, drop in on your dog or cat and let him outside / feed / water, provide companionship, etc, or if you need me to stay with your dog(s) or cat(s) at your house for a night or several nights while you are away. The earlier you book with me, the more likely I am to be available. I take people on a first come (booked), first serve basis. But I will try my best to accommodate everyone as much as possible! Please tell me what town or general area you live in (the place I will be taking care of your pets) so I can get an estimate as to how far away from me you are! I live in Whitehall, myself.

Lorraine took great care of our dog and house while we were away for a week. She was recommended to me by family who she had done pet-sitting for in the past. This was my first experience having someone stay in my home to care for my dog. He is 13, blind and having difficulty standing up, and it gave me great peace of mind knowing he was in a familiar environment and someone was here with him all the time. Lorraine came out to our house a few days prior to our departure to meet Chance and to learn what needed to be done for him. Lorraine was very communicative leading up to her arrival and throughout the stay, sending pictures and updates as I desired. She left the house clean and just as we left it. In the past, kenneling my dog has always been a deterrent to traveling, but having found Lorraine, I feel more inclined to travel in the future!
