Lorinda’s Bio
I am an artist and freelancer with a graduate-level education in literature and writing, and have 12 years of experience in adult education as well as some experience tutoring teens and children. Previously, I worked in customer service for 10 years. I am a known as a dependable and kind person, and a thoughtful communicator.
Avid in the tools of mindfulness and meditation, I know how to be patient and kind toward people of all ages. I am from a large extended family so have always been around elders socially. I am understanding of the needs of seniors in various scenarios of that life stage, and I have a genuine desire to brighten their days while making daily aspects of life more accessible for their well-being.
At this time, I am available an on as-needed basis only. I have a flexible schedule most days.
Communication is my forte, and I will communicate (and am happy share photos) with each visit to give you and your loved ones peace of mind.
I have a clean driving record and am a non-smoker. Employer references available, should you request them.
Please let me know when would be a good time to arrange a meet and greet to get started. I hope to hear from you soon!

Reviews
Lorinda is a tireless, energetic, responsible and committed pet sitter. My cat, whose cuteness is merely ornamental, has caused several prior cat sitters to quit on me. He is certifiably vicious and the wasted efforts with all his past sitters started to make me see the positives of never traveling out of town again. Lorinda was undeterred when I explained all of this to her, spitballed ideas on how we could make cat sitting work, did her own research, and convinced me that with enough effort, my cat would warm up to her. And he did. And I can travel again.
Lorinda also does all the things a sitter ought to do -- she shows up on time, promptly tells me if she is going to be late, texts me pictures of my cat so I know he's ok, and stays in constant communication so I know her availability for work. In short, she is the jewel in the crown of sittercity. I recommend her without reservation!
Lorinda is the best kitty sitter we have ever worked with! My husband and I have two kitties and a small garden. Lorinda was excellent in the care she took of both. While we were gone, she sent us pictures of the kitties playing so we knew they were in good hands. And we came back to a healthy, well-watered garden. She did a wonderful job! We feel incredibly comfortable with her in our home and we highly recommend her!
