Pet care experience

Pet loving remote worker

Lifelong pet parent and experienced sitter — I’ve cared for dogs, cats, birds, and hamsters, and I know how important it is that pets receive not just food and safety, but attention, stimulation, and exercise while you’re away. I only work with families who value high-quality, reliable care. Most of my bookings come through referrals, and I always schedule a video call and home visit before confirming any booking. Happy to answer questions or discuss travel requests!

Safety, trust & environment

I provide in-home care in your residence and am available to travel as needed. I have my own car and am experienced in safely transporting pets. For new clients, I require an introductory meeting: the first can be virtual or in person to go over care needs, and the second must take place in your home so I can meet your pet in their environment. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, provide regular photo updates and status check-ins, and am happy to video call if needed. I’m Pet First Aid certified through the Red Cross, and currently serve clients in both Northern Virginia and Florida.

Lora was an absolute gift! We have had decent dog sitters before, but never one as amazing as Lora. She goes above and beyond, really gave us peace of mind and felt at ease seeing the girls comfortable, happy, and having fun! She treated our girls like her own dogs, and kept us updated frequently throughout the day. We’ve found our forever sitter 🥰

Lora was absolutely wonderful with Luna!!! Luna loves one-on-one attention, so she had her own vacation and a fantastic time with Lora. I loved all of the pictures and updates that Lora sent regularly. Luna is on daily medication and Lora didn't blink an eye, I felt incredibly comfortable leaving her in Lora's care. Will definitely be repeat clients. Thank you so very much Lora!

Lora is fantastic! This was the second time she’s stayed with our dogs and we’ll continue to book with her. She provides great updates and takes wonderful care of our fur babies. Thank you!!

First time Rover user. We have a Corgi who needed some love for about 2 weeks when we were away. Kind of nervous about using Rover but Lora has completely blown away our expectations! Tons of pics shared, could tell our pup was in great spirits, and overall could not be more happy. 10/10 would highly recommend Lora

Outstanding! Thanks again, Lora for another stress-free travel experience. Tilly was well cared-for and our minds were at ease know she was in such capable, reliable hands. We appreciate your communication during your stay -- and we returned to a calm pet and a clean home (thank you for that)! You're the best!
