Information Lorraine W. would like to know about your pet

I want the owner to let me know the dog's schedule for food, medication, business, exercise, sleep so I can keep their routine as normal as possible with me.

A typical day

Depends on the dog and what they like to do at home - I make their stay with me as much like home as possible by following their normal routine for feeding, exercise and play. I do like to offer frequent walks along the short hiking trails in my backyard and playtime on the grassy yard. Some dogs enjoy sun tanning on the large 2nd story front porch which is fenced and locked for their protection.

Pet care experience

30+ years experience raising dogs. I specialize in smaller FEMALE dogs - most of my boarders are under 10 pounds and all are under 15 pounds. I own an 9lb Maltese/Toy Poodle mix. In the past I have owned several small dogs including a tiny 3.5lb Yorkshire Terrier so I know what extra care is required for small dogs. I work from home so I can give extra attention and lots of short walks - we have 2 private short hiking path loops in our backyard. In addition to the natural wooded areas with trails we also have a large flat grassy area for play or business and a secure deck for play or sunbathing. I'm good with giving medication as needed. I provide owners with daily updates and photos of their dogs walking, playing and enjoying their time here. I'm flexible about your drop off/pick up schedule since I work from home and have a fairly flexible schedule. I'm available for meet and greets because I want you to come check out my place to see if it will work for your dog. I'm happy to answer any questions you have because I know how important it is for you to feel comfortable about who you trust to care for your dog. I have many regular clients so check out my many 5 star reviews for more details about how well I treat the dogs in my care.

Lorraine was awesome! This was our dog Bella's 2nd stay along with my Mom's dog 1st stay. Bella couldn't get into the house fast enough, she was so excited! We felt so comfortable leaving both dogs with Lorraine for an extended stay of 10 days. Lorraine sent updates and pictures every day of the dogs hanging out on the deck and going for multiple walks per day. Thank you!

This was our dog Bella’s 1st overnight stay with Lorraine. She was safe, well cared for and had fun with her dog, Sasha. Lorraine sent us lots of updates and pictures, which we loved! She is responsive, responsible and professional. Bella had a great time at her house!
