Pet care experience

Home full-time - available to host

Throughout my life, I've owned many breeds of dogs. In childhood, I nurtured and cared for many stray dogs that my father, a postman, brought home. Throughout adulthood, I owned pure bred dogs, like Brandy, a Doberman, and Goldie, a Yellow Lab. Bengie, my Yokie-Terrier mix, was a rescue dog from the animal shelter. To me, my pets were treated like a part of the family. They received love, security, and care to meet all of their needs and more. Whether your dog is a pure bred or a mixed breed, I will care for him/her like my own. If you need your dog walked or watched while you are on vacation, please consider my pet care services. I promise that you will be highly satisfied.

Lori was very communicative throughout the stay and flexible with pickup and drop off. She took great care of Rosie and sent pictures each day. Would highly recommend!
