BEST dog mom for your BEST friend

Pet care experience

I have been a dog lover since I was 6 years old. I’ve always had dogs and have two in my home now. I have trained all of my dogs from puppy stage on up and absolutely love the entire process. I have a special love for the seniors too. As an RN, I naturally have the caretaker outlook and will ALWAYS treat and love your dog like my own. I am a runner so I love being outside as well. We have a large home so space is never an issue and I will be sure to play with your pet as I do mine. Dogs have been a part of my life for many years and I welcome and thank you for trusting me with the best care for your dog. Home away from home is where they’ll be.

I am always worried using a new sitter for the first time because you never know if someone will love your dogs the way you do but Lora and her family were great! Communication was really good and she had nothing but good things to say about my dogs. They have dogs too so they had playmates which usually helps them adjust easier. Would definitely recommend them and use them for future needs.

George was happy and tired at the end of the day

Max had fun at Lora’s over the weekend. She and her family obviously knew how to handle his separation anxiety.

Lora and her family were absolutely amazing with our senior St. Bernard! He is a rescue and has pretty hefty separation anxiety but they made him feel right at home. Lora will give your pups all the attention they deserve and a beautiful, spacious property to run and roam. Communication and friendliness were also top-notch. Thanks, Lora!

Information Lora H. would like to know about your pet

I’d like to know if your pups area good with other dogs and kids. My kids are 9 and 17 and very responsible and loving with animals. Id like to know if you’d like daily photos or random ones, Is your dog treated for ticks and fleas, do they need brushed or crated daily? Anything to help them feel more at home away from home.

A typical day

I run with dogs, play fetch, frisbee, go for walks, brush dogs, cuddle with them. I will take them outside frequently. I walk dogs separate if they come from different homes. I love paved trails and pathway walks.
