Professional Dog Walker/Sitter

Pet care experience

In addition to decades of taking care of dogs and their homes I’ve spent the past 2 years walking dogs professionally full time - up to 40 walks per week - for a small and very busy dog walking service, including overnights. I take my time with dogs very seriously, and seriously it works so well because I love dogs so much! There’s nothing better than being out in nature with a dog!

I cannot possibly say enough positive things about Lori. She literally was a lifesaver helping us with our new Golden Retriever puppy. Right as I was feeling completely overwhelmed with "puppyhood" including puppy biting, furniture chewing, and destruction on every level, Lori began walking and playing with our pup each weekday morning to tire her out so I could actually get some work done (I work a corporate from home). In addition, she worked on commands with our Golden which was tremendously beneficial to ensure consistency in training. When it came time for me to travel, I had so much anxiety about leaving our pup--and I was so relieved when Lori agreed to stay with Sassy. It truly made my trip possible because I trusted her 100%. When she is with Sassy, she sends me photos and updates throughout the day, which I greatly appreciate so I can be reassured my pup is doing good, eating her meals on time, etc. It made a world of difference knowing I could go out-of-town and trust that everything was going to be perfectly fine at home in my absence. Most importantly, it was the way that Sassy acted around Lori that was the true tell-all. Each weekday morning, Sassy would sit by the window to wait for her. As soon as her car pulled in the driveway, she would go completely nuts crying and pawing at the window in EXCITEMENT to see her. Sassy literally loves her so much. (I defintely do not get that same kind of welcome when I get home--only Lori does!!) They truly had a great bond--and knowing my Golden Girl was so over the moon to see Lori sure made this Puppy Momma so, so happy. - Lori H. (I'm also named Lori)

Lori cared for my two pups several times while she resided in Florida. I trusted her with my home as she stayed there while I was away. She always left everything impeccable and my pups. Couldn’t wait to see her. She’s consistently loving and cleaned up any messes the pups made, which I really appreciated. If she hadn’t moved, she would definitely be the number one person to care for my animals.

Lori is absolutely fantastic. My dogs love her so much. They get so excited to see her because they know fun things are going to happen when she’s around. She goes above and beyond to make sure they are well cared for, get lots of exercise/play time and tons of snuggles. Layla and Romeo give her a 10 out of 10 and so do I. 😊🐶❤️

Safety, trust & environment

People assume dog walking is fun and easy to do, and for real dog lovers ( like me) it IS FUN, but it is NOT EASY. I am being entrusted with a precious member of your family, and it’s my sole responsibility and duty to keep the dog, myself, and others SAFE during that 30 minute walk. My training incorporates several standard operating procedures, ranging from the proper way to hold a leash, use of traffic handle, voice commands, dealing with other dogs, and the list goes on! What my experience in the field has taught me: 1. Crazy and unforeseen situations happen. 2. Quick and sound judgment is essential. 3. Time with a dog is ALL about the dog and its needs, not mine. 4. Dogs love to laugh and have fun! And that’s really what it’s all about.
