Highlights
Pet care experience
Cuddles, Walks, and Wagging Tails!
I’ve had dogs my whole life and currently have one sweet pup of my own. I’ve also owned cats in the past, so I’m comfortable caring for both. Since I sometimes travel for work, I know how important it is to find a trusted sitter who treats your pets like family — and that’s exactly how I approach every visit. Whether it’s a walk under the desert sun or cuddle time indoors, your pets will be cared for like they’re my own. I also use positive reinforcement to encourage good behaviors and can help reinforce any training commands or routines you’d like me to maintain while you’re away.

Ratings and reviews
Lori was wonderful!! She took excellent care of Gwen, sent updates with pictures and made us feel comfortable right from the initial meet and greet! It was so nice to find someone who we can trust to take care of our girl while we are out of town. We will absolutely leave Gwen with Lori again in the future.
Lori was awesome with our dog! She treated her like family and kept us updated with cute pics and messages all the time. Her sweet pup was the perfect buddy, they hit it off right away and had so much fun together. It made leaving her so much easier knowing she had great company and plenty of love. We’ll definitely be coming back!

Schedule
I work from home, which means I have plenty of flexibility to give your pets the time and attention they need throughout the day. I walk my own dog twice daily — once in the cool desert morning and again in the afternoon or early evening — and I’m happy to include your pup on our walks if you’d like! I can also take dogs to the local park for extra exercise and social time if that’s part of their routine. Whether it’s playtime, potty breaks, or cuddles, I’m available and attentive to your pet’s needs all day long.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I have a secure, fenced yard where dogs can safely play and explore, plus a doggy door that allows easy access for supervised outdoor time. If your pup is crate-trained or prefers their own space, I’m happy to accommodate that too. My own friendly dog loves having company and will make sure your pet feels welcome and at ease. Whether they’re lounging inside or enjoying a bit of desert sunshine, your pets will be safe, comfortable, and cared for like family.

A typical day
A typical day with me includes plenty of love, attention, and activity! I take my dog on two walks each day and your pup is welcome to join. If your pup likes to go on hikes, I can take them out on the local trails to explore the great outdoors. In between walks, there’s lots of playtime in our secure, fenced backyard, where dogs can run, explore, birdwatch, and enjoy the sunshine. Of course, there’s also plenty of cuddle time, treats, and relaxation indoors.

- To make sure your pets are happy, safe, and comfortable, it’s helpful to know a few things ahead of time: - Any medical needs, medications, or special diets - Typical daily routine, including walks, meals, and nap times - How they interact with other dogs, cats, or people - Any fears, triggers, or behaviors we should be aware of - Whether they’re crate-trained or prefer certain spaces - Favorite toys, games, or activities The more I know about your pets, the better I can make their time with me fun, safe, and stress-free, and help them feel right at home from the moment they arrive.
