“Sarah was just the right fit for my 1 1/2 year old golden retriever. This was my 1st time using Rover and was glad to find someone nearby that had other dogs but wasn't a boarding facility. Sarah sent pictures and videos a few times throughout my dogs 6 day stay. She was also very easy to work with when my pickup schedule needed to change. I would definitely let my dog stay with her again.”
“Brittney was just what I hoped for. She was very thorough in making sure she had what she needed to care for my dog Lily. She sent pictures and let me know how things were going. I think Lily enjoyed her time with Britney and her family, too.”
“As always, Prank loved his time spent, what I am sure he thinks, at his second home! We have complete trust and highly recommend to anyone looking for the best possible dog sitter!”
“First time experience using Rover and found Kelsey on here!!! It was an absolute great experience for our 16 month old Goldendoodle Josie. Kelsey sent pictures throughout the weekend while they had her and answered my texts promptly. Josie had their dog to play with and her son along with a large fenced back yard and acreage to run on! We will definitely use Kelsey and family again when we can’t take Josie along!!!”
“Jacqueline was a great sitter! Very responsive to messages. She watched my small dog while I was in town and I would highly recommend her for safe and affordable care. Five Stars!”
About: Hi! I’m Loretta — lifelong dog lover, proud rescue pup mom, and your pet’s new favorite human. 🐶💛 My kids and I share our home with our sweet rescue, Lucy, who’s friendly, playful, and always up for a game of zoomies or a neighborhood stroll. I know how busy life gets — work, school, travel — and I’m here to make sure your furry family member gets the care, love, and attention they deserve while you’re away. Services I offer: 🐕 Drop-in visits for potty breaks, playtime, and snuggles 🚶 Long or short walks to match your dog’s energy level 🏡 Dog sitting with plenty of love and belly rubs 🎾 Playdates with Lucy for social, dog-friendly pups Whether you have an energetic pup who needs a good romp or a senior dog who just wants gentle company, I’ll treat them like one of my own. Expect lots of tail wags, happy photos, and total peace of mind. 📩 Let’s set up a meet-and-greet — your pup will thank you! 🐾 work night shift three nights a week, which means I’m available most days for drop-in visits, walks, or midday playtime. I can also care for your pup while you’re away at work, making sure they get the exercise, company, and love they need. At home, I have a fenced backyard with plenty of space to run, plus a small doggie pool for cooling off on hot days. Inside, my pet-friendly setup is perfect for lounging on the couch or gazing out the window to “monitor” the neighborhood. On the evenings I’m not working, I’m available for evening visits and will give your furry friends the best care and attention possible. I love being outdoors — we can stay active with trips to the park, long walks, or a good game of fetch in the yard. While my own dog, Lucy, is very social and loves to play, I also happily accommodate dogs who are shy or prefer quiet one-on-one time. I have a fully fenced yard with plenty of space for safe roaming and play. In our home, we believe our space is our pup’s space — they’re welcome to snuggle where we snuggle. We can enjoy walks around the neighborhood, play ball in the yard, take trips to the park, or simply relax together. My dog, Lucy, is friendly and sociable, and can be a wonderful playmate for dogs who enjoy socializing. If your pup prefers alone time, I can easily accommodate that as well. All dogs are welcome to sleep wherever they’re most comfortable — whether that’s curled up with the family, on their own bed, or in a kennel. Your dog’s comfort and safety always come first.
