I work from home so while I am on calls a lot of the day, I am able to take care of them as needed. I have an office but will often take my laptop out to my living room because my dogs love to get snuggle time in throughout the day. I have a small yard so they can have plenty of potty breaks but I can also work walks into my schedule as needed.

Safety, trust & environment

I love giving animal's the attention they deserve and my ability to work from home allows me a fair amount of flexibility. I can't say no to snuggles so animals are allowed on the furniture and in the bed, I am a total sucker. I do crate my two small dogs when I leave for any length of time but they don't mind it at all. I also have two teenage boys who adore animals as well so your pets will get tons of attention in our home!

Information Dolores M. would like to know about your pet

Must get along with other dogs, as I have two of my own. I am open to watching a larger dog, but don't have a big yard for them and my home is a smaller townhome so they may get bored or stir crazy if they are high energy.

A typical day

During the week it will be limited to an afternoon and/or evening walk, however on the weekends we will go to the dog park or on a light hike when the weather is good!

I love animals and all the snuggles

I have had dogs and/or cats my whole life and loving on them is my favorite thing! Animals are such a gift to humans, and their unconditional love is what makes them so incredible. My animals are my four-legged children and are spoiled rotten!

Lori continues to exceed our expectations with the care and love she provides to Winston, our cocker spaniel. We say it all the time: "we're so thankful and blessed to have found Lori." You won't find a better Rover sitter than Lori!

This was my first time using the app and I was super nervous. Dolores was absolutely amazing, giving me great updates and pictures. I have no doubts that my puppy recived the utmost care and love. I am extremely greatful for her care and devotion to my furry family.

I highly recommend Delores as a pet sitter,. She took excellent care of my older Chiahuahua’ mix.. She was patient and gentle as my dog learned to adjust to a new home environment with other male dogs, and decided to mark his territory at her home! She obviates has a kind way with dogs!
