Pet care experience
Professional Dog Walker/Sitter
Hi! My name is Lorraine. I am an animal lover, advocate, and have volunteered at Habitat for Humanities. I have worked with both dogs and cats as well as other animals. Interacting with any animal makes me happy but dogs will always have a special place in my heart. Dogs are the most loyal and loving creatures. I have over 10 years of experience with pet sitting and walking. I am comfortable feeding, walking, playing with and taking care of your pet. Fortunately, my job offers remote work so I can be flexible. My apartment is spacious, clean, pet friendly, and smoke free! You are welcome to come and take a look if requested or I can provide you with photos. I will provide the following services: -multiple daily walks at least 20min each (if you have scheduled walks please let me know) -feeding (please let me know specific feeding instructions) -lots of treats if allowed -allowed to sleep on couch or on my bed with me -will provide pics and updates throughout sitting and boarding -quick response through texts/calls My boyfriend and I love to go hiking. If allowed, we would love to take your dog on a hike. If you live within 4 miles from me, I will provide pick up and drop off for free. Otherwise, it will be a one time $20 fee.

My dog is well trained and is friendly with other dogs. If necessary, I can create separate environments for the dogs if your dog is not okay with other dogs.
Ratings and reviews
Lorraine is an excellent dog sitter! We left our 3-year old dog with her over a weekend while we’re traveling, and she did an excellent job keeping us updated. I really appreciate her constant communication and well care for our dog.
The first time that Lorraine came over to pet-sit my cat, Rani, I was shocked by how quickly they bonded! It didn't take long for her to become my cat's SECOND favorite person. Lorraine is attentive, responsible and provides high-quality care. She's my go-to and I highly recommend her for taking care of your fur babies!
I have a Shiba Inu with an introverted personality (like many Shiba's). To my surprise, my Shiba loves Lorraine and enjoys walks with her around the city (my Shiba is normally indifferent about everyone she meets). I highly recommend Lorraine as a dog sitter. She is patient, attentive, and provides excellent care.
Lorraine takes care of my dog Prince every time I am out of town. I’ve traveled four times this year and she’s always happy to look after Prince for the week or two that I am away. She makes sure to take him out for a walk and plays with him because he’s a very active dog. I appreciate her patience with him because he has a lot of energy. I also appreciate that she’s careful about his allergies. Prince has allergies and gets very itchy. Lorraine makes sure to spray him with his medicine and comb his fur to reduce itchiness and to soothe his skin. I really appreciate that because it makes me feel comfortable knowing that she’s doing everything she can to make my dog feel better while I am away. She keeps his water bowl clean and with fresh water and feeds him on schedule. I’ve never encountered a problem or difficult situation regarding Lorraine’s abilities to care after Prince. She tries to understand the needs of my dog, as very pet is different, and does her best to meet my pets needs. I really appreciate Lorraine’s effort and I know Prince does too, as he’s always thrilled to see her.
Lorraine is my go-to person to take care of my dog when I'm running late at work or traveling out of town. Before heading over to my place, she makes sure to check in on what my dog needs - food, being taken outside to do its business, getting enough activity, etc. She always has my dog's vet, favorite foods, and emergency numbers on handy. She is amazing with dogs, and animals in general. She's gentle, works to gain their trust, and makes sure they are comfortable. She is an excellent dog caregiver on Rover.
Lorraine is so professional and an absolute delight to work with. She loves animals and has a lot of experience with pets. My animals think of her as a second parent! haha

Schedule
I work from home with a very flexible job. I take my dog on 4 walks per day so adding in additional dogs would not be a problem.
