Personalized care for your dog or cat - Gurdon

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.

About: Registered veterinary nurse with over 20+ years caring for animals, 12+ in a professional and clinical setting. I have worked in small animal practices as well as Emergency/ICU and have medical experience with species of all kinds! I am a Canine Good Citizen Evaluator with AKC, and I am also licensed with the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission as a wildlife rehabilitator (since 2019) Aside from working with native wildlife, I have personally owned a variety of pocket pets and exotic animals throughout the years and would be comfortable providing care for additional animal species, as needed! I am certified to teach canine and feline CPR & First Aid both to the public and to veterinary professionals (offered as approved RACE CE credit), and I am certified with FEMA through their “Animals in Disaster” preparedness course. I am proficient not only in identifying and interpreting canine and feline behavior (as well as other species), but I also have the advantage of medical insight. I often will notice things about your pet that perhaps you haven’t even noticed yet, or maybe didn’t realize was a concern. I was blessed with good intuition, and this has aided me greatly in my career with animals! Through years of working emergency medicine, I have become highly effective in triage methods and will know immediately what to do and how quickly to do it, should your pet encounter any type of emergency (trauma, toxicity, snake bite, heat stroke, neurological incident, etc.) I am comfortable administering medications through PO, SQ, IM, and IV routes, as needed or directed by a veterinarian. I am comfortable manually expressing bladders in both dogs and cats, and providing ambulatory support for pets needing assistance. Some of my clients wear doggy diapers and I am comfortable managing those, as well. I can provide basic wound care, bandage care, and give extra attention to pets needing any type of dietary assistance. My special skill in clinic was getting sick pets to eat, I am very good at it! In addition to the medical aspect, I also strive to support a healthy emotional environment. I will provide adequate and reasonable boundaries to ensure your pet is being respected, but also not letting them take advantage of the “new person!” I’m not going to overload them with treats or feed them extra just because they’re giving me the cute puppy eyes! If your pet is not allowed on the couch at home or when you’re away, I won’t allow that either. I truly understand the full-circle effects of how we treat our pets and strive to maintain high expectations when I’m responsible for any animals care. I am an open highway as far as communication goes and am happy to meet to needs and expectations for each client and family, custom to each pet. My schedule is very flexible. I took a break from working in a hospital setting in 2021 to complete my Bachelor's degree. Since then I have primarily worked from home but I maintain a current CVT license with the Arkansas Veterinary Medical Board. Working from home allows me the ability to accommodate boarding requests both in my home, or in yours. I can accommodate consistent and reliable walks or check-in visits throughout the week, and even last-minute requests. Your pets will be treated as part of the family whether in my home, or in yours! They will get extra love and attention and be pampered and played with constantly. I enjoy taking pictures and videos of your pet, and will check in often regarding their care! House Sitting: House sitting services are offered in your home, with your pets. I can accommodate exotic animals and small pocket pets, in addition to cats, dogs, and horses. There is not much I cannot care for! Offering all the amenities of in-home doggie daycare, house sitting provides the comforts of home with the assurance of a highly trained veterinary professional providing around-the-clock care. In addition to being attentive to your furry-family members needs, I will care for your home as if it is my own. I will clean, check mail, collect packages, water plants, etc. so when you get home, you will have nothing left to worry about except enjoying time with your fur baby! Prior to my departure I will clean thoroughly and make sure your home is in tip-top shape for your arrival! I work from home and am able to take my work with me, which makes my schedule very flexible! Holidays and weekends are flexible, as well. Last minute requests? No problem! Safety is my top priority. Pets will be diligently monitored. Doors will be kept shut, gates will be secured, and dangerous items will be kept out of reach. Your home will be cared for as if it was my own using the Girl Scout Code of, “leaving it better than you found it” as the core principle for my services. :)

About: Focus on Communication: Offer daily photo and detailed text updates for every visit, ensuring the employer feels connected. I promptly report any unusual behavior or concerns, showing vigilance. Safety and Preparedness: I've thought about emergency protocols, such as having local vet contact information, and being mindful of home security (e.g., locking up properly, varying walk times slightly for dogs). Customized Care: I meticulously follow the exact routine provided and proactively ask for details about their pet's unique quirks, favorite toys, and specific anxieties to ensure comfort, showing you view the pet as an individual. Flexibility and Enthusiasm: I am eager to build a lasting relationship and your willingness to accommodate slightly unusual schedules or last-minute requests as a new sitter looking to impress. I'm available Monday through Friday and can work as soon as possible! That way I'll have more time to learn about your pup and play with them! Routine: Outline feeding times/amounts, walk schedule, medication administration, and playtime. Follow the owner's instructions closely. Emergency: Include vet contact info, owner contact while away, and an emergency backup contact with clear protocols for medical issues. House Rules: Confirm what is/isn't allowed (e.g., furniture access, guests, alarm codes). Updates: Specify how often you will send photo/text updates and what channel i'll use.

I have years of hands-on experience caring for pets of various shapes, sizes and personalities. From energetic puppies who need consistent routine and positive reinforcement to general seniors who require a softer touch and careful medication management. I've managed it all. I am incredibly intuitive when it comes to animal behavior, ensuring your dog feels safe, comfortable, and understood from the moment we meet.
