Gentle and Devoted Attention

Pet care experience

I believe that all pets are good. I love them all and feel each deserves extra attention while you are away to minimize their anxiety and yours. They all have their own special personality and I will care for only one pet at a time (or possibly two if they live together).

Lori is phenomenal! This was our first ever experience boarding our dog, Bodhi, and she did the best job making sure that he felt comfortable and at peace in her home. She sent lots of updates and helped us stay in the loop. He was having lots of separation anxiety and yet she withstood it all and handled it like a champ. Thank you Lori and kudos to you for rolling with the punches and keeping our big feeling at peace ❤️

Lori was a wonderful sitter for our dog! She cared for him as if he was her own and was very attentive. I can tell my dog enjoyed being there. Thank you again Lori. I will definitely be booking again !

Lori and her husband were fantastic with our pup! Gave him so much love and attention. They also sent many updates. We wish we lived closer because we would definitely book with Lori again!

Information Lori D. would like to know about your pet

Walks are entirely dependent on the weather, and whether the dog is good on a leash. Medicines or special care would need to be discussed in advance.

A typical day

Dogs love to be brushed, walked and loved up. They like "good-dog" talk and even singing. Some dogs enjoy toys, some just want togetherness. Whatever yours prefers, we will enjoy it together.
