Dog Foster Mom & Shelter Volunteer
Pet care experience
Hey there! I love all animals, but I work with dogs the most. I am an approved foster for a few local rescue groups and currently have a foster dog (she is my 27th foster!). I have volunteered at multiple animal shelters since 2010, and currently volunteer at my local shelter. I have experience with various types of dogs (and cats). I tend to work with the super shy, hurt, sick, or forgotten ones. My patience, care, and dedication for dogs is what sets me apart from most other people. All my friends and family know me as the animal lover and even come to me for animal related issues. My dogs are practically my everything, so I do what I can do be the pet sitter I'd want for my personal dogs. *At this time, I cannot do long term reoccurring visits.*
Reviews
As always Loretta is the best! We are very thankful for her taking care of our Luna!
We love Loretta. She is so good with our Luna. We never have to worry about Luna when Loretta is caring for her.
We have been using Loretta for quite some time now and she is great. Our dog loves her and we are grateful for such a good person taking care of her while we go away.
Once again, we enjoyed a great vacation knowing Loretta was caring for our cat Ozy. She is consistent, dependable, flexible, and caring. She goes above and beyond, and graciously extended due to our travel issues. Loretta is a keeper!

Safety, trust & environment
I currently cannot take dogs into my household for day or over night stays. I am only able to do in home drop in visits. For in home visits, I will do what is asked of the owner. In most cases, it is letting dogs out for potty breaks, cleaning cat boxes, feeding, providing medication, playing with the dogs/cats, etc.
Information Loretta K. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know the dog's behavior/demeanor. Is the dog submissive and fearful or is the dog hyper and super friendly? What things would scare the dog or make the dog happy? What motivates the dog? It would be helpful to know their routines, feeding schedules, any medications, things to watch out for (behavior wise as warning signs if they are stressed, upset, or uncomfortable).
A typical day
I currently cannot take dogs into my household for day or over night stays. I am only able to do in home drop in visits. However, I will play with dogs or cuddle/pet them in home based off of the dog's personality and what is requested by the owner. Please note: drop in visits do not include dog walks in the neighborhood or street. These are potty break visits in the backyard & feeding/in home care.
