Dogs are my people.

Pet care experience

As my headline says, dogs are my people. Over the past two years, I have adopted a dog of my own, volunteered more than 100 hours working with dogs at local shelters, and have worked full-time with dogs at a dog bakery and grooming salon in town. I am an experienced dog sitter, boarder, and overnight foster, and have worked with many breeds, from tiny Chi's to giant Great Pyrenees. I love discovering the personality of each dog I meet, and would love to add your dog to my pack of furry friends! P.S. I work from home, so I can give your dog that extra TLC while you're away.

Lora was fantastic! She came to stay with my thunder-phobic babies while I had to work, and did a wonderful job. She came early to meet them before I had to leave, and kept me updated with messages and pictures. You can tell she truly loves dogs and she made me feel super comfortable leaving mine in her care.

Lora did an amazing job with Luca. She went above and beyond in looking after him. She frequently sent me pictures and videos of Luca playing, which kept me at ease. I strongly recommend Lora and will absolutely request her services again for my next trip.

Lora was such a great sitter! She kept great care of Dozer and my house. I really felt relaxed with Dozer in her capable hands. Highly recommend her. :)

Information Lora R. would like to know about your pet

It's important to know their history with other animals (including people). Any likes or dislikes are helpful for me, as they help me anticipate and avoid potentially bad situations before they happen, and help me create good, positive situations to boost your dog's confidence in themselves and trust in me. I am open to all breeds, from the tinies to the giants, and everything in between.

A typical day

I love exploring the beautiful city of Austin with four- (or three, in my tripod's case) legged friends. Outgoing, friendly pups who stay with me can expect to hike one of the many local parks (swimming holes are a must), explore the farmer's market, or chill at a local restaurant. Couch potatoes and shy dogs who prefer to hang out at home can expect lots of time spent lying around and getting their bellies rubbed. I love offering my own dog new challenges, and would love to do the same with yours, whether that be through small training exercises or freezing their food in a Kong for some extra mental stimulation. In my book, a stimulated dog is a well-behaved dog!
