Information Lori D. would like to know about your pet

I like to know if a dog has been spayed or neutered, if it's house trained, does it get along with small children, does it get along with other dogs, any special cares? Does your dog bark a lot? And last but not least I require your pet to be bathed or smelling clean. Dogs with a bad odor will not be welcomed back.

A typical day

We like low key activities, occasionally play some ball, go for short walks (or longer if the dog can endure), naps and pampering. I like to brush them if they enjoy it,

Happy Dog Pet Sitting Service

Pet care experience

As animal enthusiasts, your pets happiness and health is our passion! Your pet will receive personalized care and attention just as it does when home with you (no kenneling here). Walks, belly rubs, playing/chasing after balls, brushing, relaxing, all come with no extra charge! We understand how stressful a kennel environment can be on your pet, especially smaller and older dogs. Most often your dog will be the only dog that stays with us when visiting. I take special care in making sure the dogs are compatible. Even though we don't have a fenced in yard, your dog will be personally walked by me many times throughout the day. I know when your dog has gone to the bathroom and not left unsupervised outside for hours (or with other dogs). Why your Pet will love it here: -it's a calm/relaxed home environment, they will feel safe (no stress of other dogs) -they will get LOTS of attention all throughout the day (I'm home all day) and feel loved -same routine as home (feeding, walks, potty breaks) so they know what to expect

Lori and her family did an awesome job taking care of Maja. They communicated well and sent me beautiful pics of Maja. Maja came home calm and well behaved, I would definitely recommend them to others!

Lori was amazing. She was super accommodating and made our dog feel so welcomed. I would go to her again in a heart beat.

Lori and her family were wonderful hosts for our Great Dane Gretta! Through the week we received pictures and updates on Gretta's stay. Immediately we could tell she was welcomed in and was feeling right at home. We will definitely utilize Lori in the future and would highly recommend Lori if you need someone to trust with your puppy!
