Lorraine went above and beyond to take care of Penny, making sure that my old lady bulldog is comfortable in every way. Cannot recommend Lorraine enough! She’s practically, a family for us now ❤️

Lorraine was a fabulous dog sitter. She kept in close contact with us over the course of our trip and included pictures of our dog. She provided us with great peace of mind as she carefully and lovingly attended to the needs of our pet. Her home was conducive to Lorraine being able to take our dog out on many walks and outdoor experiences. Great sitter and great location!

Lorraine was awesome! She made sure Mattie got the exercise she is accustomed to and her needs were met. I will definitely use her again.

Staying with Lorraine was an absolute blessing for my Penny! Lorraine loves dogs and it shows! Penny got lots of love and attention, and I’ve been getting daily updates, pictures, and videos from Lorraine. Cannot recommend her enough!

Lorraine is absolutely awesome! Our dog Jack was born deaf and she learned to 'sign' to him!! It was our first time leaving him and we were very nervous. Lorraine sent us pictures and messages so we were able to enjoy our vacation. We will definitely be sending Jack to her again ?

I will need a short list of your dog’s likes/dislikes and habits. I would expect clients to be up-to-date on their pet’s vaccinations and tick and flea medications. It would be great if clients bring their dog’s bed and favorite toys at the time of the visit.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
