I love all dogs and cats

Pet care experience

I have helped owners with dog sitting/walking in the Traverse City area. I've had my dog and cat business for 5+ years and I spend my time with special dogs and cats during the day, overnights or on weekends. I cared for my two dogs until they passed away. Now I have time to devote to other pets who need my support.

Lorretta was great with our pups. She sent pictures and was very communicative. One of our boys has Cushings and requires meds twice a day. We were not worried at all because we trusted Lorretta to keep his schedule. They were very happy and content when we got home. I highly recommend Lorretta and will not hesitate to hire her again.

You know that feeling of dread you get when you leave your fuzzy critters behind when on vacation? Well I only had it for a short bit of time as Lorretta contacted me and sent me pictures barely before I even left on the plane to let me know they were all ok. Yes I missed them all very much but I felt at ease knowing they were in her care! Pick Lorretta you shan’t regret it! 🤗

Lorretta treated our lab, Sophie, like a queen! She enjoyed lots of walks and snuggles! We were kept up to date on all their adventures which was wonderful. We will definitely have Lorreta come back and stay with Sophie in the future.
