Highlights
Pet care experience
Walk, Play, Love, Repeat!
Dogs, cats, and small pets have always been a huge part of our family lifestyle. During a 30-minute visit, your dog can enjoy up to a half-mile walk for some fresh air and exercise, or we can just focus on cuddles and emotional connection—whatever your pup needs most! For cats, your pet will get quality time, feeding, playing with toys, or just sitting quietly together to keep them company and of course pet maintenance and upkeep. I am also experienced with small mammals, birds, fish, and reptiles. If your pet has special health needs, I am trained to safely give medications, including insulin shots and transdermal ear gels, by following your instructions.

Safety, trust & environment
Your privacy, property, and pet’s unique safety needs are always my top priorities. I believe open communication is the key to excellent care, which is why I keep you updated every step of the way. I am fully up-to-date with my American Red Cross Pet CPR and First Aid certification. You can have peace of mind knowing I am trained to handle emergencies. Please know your home, privacy, and property is respected as well as your instructions as they are written or conveyed. In supporting any of your changing needs: whether you have physical limitations, or a recent surgery, I am here to help take the burden off your shoulders so your pet stays happy and healthy.
Ratings and reviews
Lorraine is so thoughtful! We had a water outage and she left us water for when we got home!
Lorraine went above and beyond taking care of our cats when the water went out. She knew just what to do in this emergency to keep everyone safe and healthy. Can’t thank her enough
I have continually relied on Lorraine to take care of my cat during the times I am away. In my experience, she has always gone far beyond what one could or would expect from someone taking care of your pet. I would strongly recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter.
Lorraine has been taking great care of my kitty cat for the last year and I highly recommend her!
Lorraine took excellent care of my girl while she was recovering from being sick. She was so thoughtful and caring with her visits.
As always, wonderful experience! Went above and beyond for my pups!

Schedule
Daily walks: A half-hour walk is perfect for any dog's daily needs. For dog vacation visits: 2 visits per day is great, but 3 visits are optimal for the best care and personal connection. Morning, midday, and late evening times are available. Cat vacation visits: Daily visits are great for interaction and cat care. Every-other-day schedules will not be considered for multiple cats however. Included in visits: mail, packages, and basic plant care, as well as sweeping floors, and trash bin curb placement during all vacation visits.

- Knowing what makes your pet comfortable—and what to avoid—helps me follow your routine perfectly! Are there areas your pet doesn't like to be touched? Does your pet like treats, and are they food motivated? Are they trained in any specific routines? What works best for your pet's personality, care, and environment?
