Lori was perfect! She was so cheery and excited to meet Watson that he felt comfortable IMMEDIATELY! Watson had a great visit. He was perfectly spoiled by Lori. We would use Lori over and over again if we just lived closer. But next time we find ourselves in the area, we know we will be giving Lori a call. Watson would be so happy to visit his new friend :)

Finding someone you can trust with a senior dog who has complex needs isn't easy, but my dog was in great hands with Lori. She handled a demanding schedule of medications and a specific diet without any trouble, and she was super patient and understanding when my pup had some initial anxiety the first night. Lori's patience, flexibility, and genuine care for older dogs gave me real peace of mind, and I’d definitely recommend her to anyone looking for an attentive and reliable sitter!

Choosing a dog sitter can be stressful, especially with a senior pup, but Lori incredible! Lulu stayed with her for a few nights while I was away, and Lori was great with her. Communication was great throughout the entire stay, providing me with peace of mind. Lulu has a lot of medical issues and requires medication and a prescription diet, which Lori handled flawlessly. She even woke up in the middle of the night to let her out due to her aging bladder. It is rare to find someone so compassionate, attentive, and dedicated to the extra care that senior dogs need. Cannot recommend Lori enough and will definitely be booking again!

We are so grateful to Lori for taking such wonderful care of Mochi while we were away for training. She consistently sent us updates and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing Mochi was happy and well cared for. Our scheduled pickup was originally set for Friday at 7:30 AM, but Lori was incredibly understanding and kind enough to allow us to pick Mochi up early at 1:00 AM because we missed her so much. That meant a lot to us. Lori was very patient and attentive, especially since Mochi is still a puppy. It’s clear she truly cares and treats pets like her own. We highly recommend her and would absolutely trust her with Mochi again. Thank you so much Lori!

Lori was wonderful with my dog, Sid! She was reliable, caring, and treated him like her own. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. She was very communicative and sent lots of updates and pictures. I highly recommend!
