About: 🚨allergic to cats the price isn’t a joke the app will not allow me to take the option away. i cannot house sit in a home with an inside cat🚨 i’ve cared for many breeds of dogs throughout my life from small chihuahuas, to pit bulls, and even the occasional great danes! since i was around 8 i’ve gotten little side jobs of walking and bathing dogs here and there and i REALLY miss it. currently i am dogsitting full time so as long as i’m not booked up with other pups i’ll be available. no earlier than 9am and no later than 8pm i live on a lot of land so there’s a ton to explore but if you’re not comfortable with that i can leash them easily, i do not accept dogs who pull on leashes as i’m small and know my limits. i also have 2 dogs one medium and one small

“Lori was fabulous with our babies , she stayed over a week and took care of them as her own ♥️♥️ I will most definitely use her again and recommend her highly!!”
Star J.
“Star is amazing. She was able to come over very last minute to watch my three big dogs and cat for the weekend. My three big dog are on a lot of different medications and are very nervous around new people. They are all rescues and they have very strict schedules. She was able to meet my dogs before hand and then came over early to go over their schedules. My dogs and cat were best friends with her after the three days. She is now my permanent dog and cat sitter and the only person I can trust with my fur babies. I can now look forward to my work trips without anxiety about my pets!”
