Pet care experience
Hello! I’ve been incredibly lucky to look after pets for both family and friends for several years. I've been surrounded by pets for most of my life, but in the past decade started boarding pets rather than just sitting them for the day. Pet sitting started out of love, found that I really enjoy it, and now I'm learning how to expand my services! Important: For doggy daycare, drop-off is at my home only. I'm unable to pick up pets from their own homes. Apologies! Honesty and transparency is important to me. First off, I became a Rover sitter in April 2023. Our pets are family members, and it can be hard to find the right sitter for them while you are away. I promise to do my best to make my home their “home away from home,” and to make them feel loved, safe, and happy until your return. The majority of my furry guests stay overnight, anywhere from several days to even a month or more – and it’s always a joy and a new adventure. My family dog lived to be 17 years old, and I have lots of experience taking care of senior dogs.
Reviews
Luanne was great. She responded to messages quickly, sent several updates, and gave our dog some extra love and attention.
Luanne was absolutely fabulous! We had never left our dogs with a sitter before, and have a 10 year old, mostly blind Boston Terrier and 3 year old energetic Frenchton. Luanne made the experience seamless and fun. She sent updates multiple times a day with pictures, followed their care instructions and really got to know them. She made our 8 nights away very stress free. Highly recommend
Luanne asked lots of good questions that showed she cared and shared some great pics. She even got our dog to play! (Which is rare for her.)
I've had our 8 year old cat Tico for 15 days with Luanne and its been a pleasant experience! She's provided constant updates about our cat and sent photos of how comfortable he is to the new environment. Recommended for cat and dog owners :)

Safety, trust & environment
I live in a house with a partially fenced yard, in a family friendly neighbourhood. No pets, no children, no smoking. There is a greenway and a fully-enclosed dog park within walking distance for canines. I'm very familiar with having to bathe extremely mud-happy pooches on a daily basis. Plenty of tennis balls in this house. A Meet & Greet is very important to have before any booking, and they will usually take place during the weekends, during daylight hours for everyone's safety. For cats, I have south-facing windows where they can sunbathe for hours. Plenty of crocheted blankets for them to explore and make nests of their own. Also a litter box if owners don't wish to bring their own.
Home
Information Luanne B. would like to know about your pet
Knowing their regular schedule, as well as the name and phone number of their vet. Any allergies and if they are on any current medications that needs to be continued during their stay. Please let me know how they behave around other dogs of various sizes (if we go to the dog park), and if they enjoy car rides (we often go out to see friends & family on the weekends).
A typical day
Each animal has their own personality and routine, and I can certainly adjust exercise and feeding times according to their needs and comfort level. A senior dog with arthritis will have a different walking schedule than a two-year old pooch. During the warmer months, our yard is a wonderful place for dogs to sunbathe, play, and chill.
