Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced fur baby care when you’re not there💛
Your Pet's Happy Place: Compassionate care from an experienced animal lover💛 With over 12 years of experience in the animal care industry, I offer more than just a pet-sitting service—I offer peace of mind. From my start as an Animal Care Assistant at a charity, where I learned to cater to the unique needs of various species, to my current role managing a veterinary practice, my life revolves around animal welfare. My own pets even get to come to work with me every day, so I understand how important it is to keep your furry family member happy, safe, and involved in your daily routine. My skills include administering medication, specialized feeding, training, walking, socialising and of course, plenty of play & cuddles! I have a lot of experience with rescue dogs & those with a nervous/reactive disposition. I am also knowledgable & comfortable taking care of cats, small animals, reptiles, exotics & birds. I spend my weekends training gundogs and frequently foster to help dogs get ready for their forever homes. This isn't just a job for me; it's my passion. I am a qualified pet first aider & am up to date with all local veterinary practices so can get them where they need to be in case of an emergency while you’re gone. Let's give your pet the high-quality care they deserve. I can't wait to meet them🥰🐾

Ratings and reviews
Lori was amazing with Willow and I’d highly recommend to anyone a bit nervous of leaving their dog. This is the first sleepover Willow has had with someone from Rover and my mind was at ease the entire time. I received written updates with pics and Willow got on well with the other dogs in the house 😊 She’s come back absolutely knackered so I know she’s been well looked after!
Lori is great for dog boarding. She looked after my Dalmatian for the second time recently and it is great to feel totally at ease when leaving my pet in the care of someone. Hopefully she is availabloe next time I need her.
Lori was the ideal house sitter for Luna. She made friends with her immediately, and Luna, who can be anxious in various situations, was relaxed and contented when we returned.
Lori did a great job petsitting while I was on holiday. She was very engaged during our meet and greet, and maintained excellent communication the entire time. I especially appreciated the updates and photos she would send every evening. Would highly recommend!
I cannot recommend Lori enough. She took amazing care of our 12 year old dog, and the house! In all our daily updates, Coco looked so comfortable and happy. Lori clearly loves animals very much and in general is an absolute sweetheart. 100% would love to have Lori look after Coco again. Thanks so much x.
Lori was fantastic! Couldn’t recommend her more. We received updates every day and photos which made the whole process so much better at leaving our baby while we went on holiday. We will absolutely book her anytime we need a dog boarder again and our pup was very well loved as her own. Thank you so much again!

Schedule
I am available for pet sitting, whether that be boarding in the comfort of their own home, or in my own ‘home from home’, 7 days a week! I work Monday-Friday but can be flexible to either work from home or take your dog to work with me where they’ll be welcomed with open arms by an army of animal enthusiasts.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I live in a 2 bedroom flat with an enclosed garden & lots of lovely, quiet & rural walks close by. One of the bedrooms in my flat is specifically designed as a dog room, containing comfy crates, lots of toys, and an environment they can escape to if they need some peace & quiet. I have a Labrador, Lakeland Terrorist & Springer Spaniel of my own that can either stick around if your dog likes company, or go & spend the time with their dad if your pet prefers 1-1 attention. Your pet is more than welcome to come up onto the sofa/bed for cuddles & no part of my home is off limits to them unless you would prefer it to be. My car is full equipped with dog guard & doggy seatbelts so that your furry family member is safe during travel.
