Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced-in, large back yard with plenty of space for your dog to explore and play outside. We have plenty of room in our home. I prefer to crate dogs when we aren't home but if they are well-behaved, our home is safe and dogs are fine without being crated.

Information Lori A. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs that I can plan for. I prefer not to have a dog that barks a lot but if they do, let me know what they bark at or what they are anxious about and I can try and help make things easier for them like keeping blinds closed.

A typical day

With a fenced in back yard full of squirrels and birds to chase, there is plenty of space for your pet to run and play. I love to throw around a tennis ball or just spend time with them out in the yard. I love to walk and hike and live near many great parks.

Work at home dog lover, fenced yard

Pet care experience

I've had at least one dog most of my life and for the first time, we do not have one at home and I really miss it! My husband and I like the flexibility of not having our own dog and I've found that I enjoy taking care of my friends' and family's dogs, but it's just not often enough. I enjoy having a dog around and would love to take care of your pet. I like walks and spending time outdoors, and can easily make sure your dog gets in some exercise if needed.

Lori took wonderful care of our dog! Our dog, is a bit of a princess but was very well taken care of. Unfortunately we were out of the country and lacked cell service much of the time, but were relieved to find our beloved in one piece, healthy, happy and well taken care of.!

Lori and her husband took care of our two golden retrievers. They seemed to enjoy their time. Thanks!

Lori did a wonderful job watching my dog, Ginger. From the moment we dropped her off, Ginger seemed relaxed and happy, and it was clear she was well cared for. Lori was a great communicator throughout, sending updates and making sure we always knew how Ginger was doing. She was also very flexible and easy to work with, which made the whole experience stress-free. I highly recommend Lori and would happily book with her again!
