Pet care experience

We care for yours like they're ours

I've taken care of both large and small breed dogs, indoor and outdoor cats, and a variety of small mammals and reptiles since I can remember; both mine and other people's. I have often provided in-home pet care when owners vacation, or just wanted their fur baby to have some extended company. I am comfortable giving medicine, feeding, playing with and walking animals. I also have significant fish care experience, having had aquariums for most of my life. I can provide aquarium maintenance for freshwater aquariums, loving pet care and walking services; and bathing and some basic grooming services. I am currently open and available for all pet sitting needs. I am a gig worker, so I get to choose my schedule and I will work around your needs. I understand that every home has its own systems and ways of doing things. It's not my job to bring my way to your pets routine, but rather learn how your fur baby prefers to be handled and cared for. I also know that because it's such an important job that I'm being entrusted with, I always double check all instructions, routines, and systems for both the pet care and your home's care.

House Sitting • Jun 29, 2026

Lora recently watched my elderly dog who can be a bit anxious. I am happy to say all went well and it was so nice to come home to a calm dog and clean house. Lora administered needed meds and took great care of my house and flowers by watering them daily. She was very communicative which I deeply appreciated with questions, updates, and lots of pictures.

Lora did a great job watching our house and pet sitting with our 2 dogs during a recent 12 day trip. Communication was great. The house was as clean or cleaner than when we left. We highly recommend her.

Lora was fantastic. She watched our two high energy Karelian Bear Dogs while we were traveling. The communication was just right, and she included lots of pics. She took the dogs out for daily walks in our neighborhood. Unfortunately, one of our dogs developed an infection the day before our scheduled trip. Lora didn't hesitate to take on the added responsibility of delivering meds and care the dog needed. That was much appreciated. And the house was in great condition when we returned. I would definitely recommend Lora!

Lora was great! She came over and spent some time with my 2 Jack Russells who had to spend a couple of very long days inside the house. Milo was a bit nervous at first, but she won him over with love and attention. Lora brought her daughter with her and sent me some wonderful photos of them all playing and lounging. She gave my dogs lots of cuddles.

Lora was an amazing sitter for our anxiety prone little girl Poppy. We had to leave town for medical reasons and having Lora take care of Poppy was a huge weight off our shoulders. She is a great communicator and sent pictures and videos daily. When we came back, Poppy sat at the window looking for her! We will absolutely book again.

Schedule

Pet care is a true family affair in our household! My husband, our 11-year-old daughter, and I work together to ensure your pets receive personal attention, reliable routine care, and plenty of love right in the comfort of their own home. ​Because my husband is a professional chef, our schedules complement each other perfectly. He works late afternoons and evenings, while I work part-time during the day. This tag-team setup means that when I need to step out for work or run errands, he is home—and vice versa! Your pet benefits from near-constant, round-the-clock companionship and supervision without long stretches of alone time. ​Our 11-year-old daughter is a responsible, enthusiastic helper who loves joining for visits, helping with play sessions, and keeping pets company. Together, we treat your pets like our own and make sure your home is respected and kept secure while you're away.
