Safety, trust & environment

My yard is fenced in. I have three dogs and one cat to keep your pet company, but I also have the option to segregate them in the house as needed. All animals are initially kept in one half of the house (with me), away from my dogs until they get acclimated. All meals are provided in separate, gated rooms to avoid any food squabbles. I maintain my "Cat & Dog First Aid" certification through the American Red Cross.

Information Lori D. would like to know about your pet

I only board dogs that are less than 20lbs, but if I'm dropping in on your dogs, size is not an issue, though I do have to decline particularly strong, muscular dogs or large energetic dogs.

A typical day

Depending on a dogs needs, they get plenty of supervised, backyard playtime. They are allowed on the furniture here & have plenty of cushy dog beds to choose from. At night, they sleep in my room, either in their dog bed or they can sleep in my bed if they prefer!

Lori is the most reliable and trustworthy pet sitter! My dog had a health issue while we were gone. Lori called me, sent pictures, stayed with him for a very long time, and offered to take him to the vet, if needed. She cares for our pets like they are her own. We are so grateful to have her.

Lori watched our two cats for a second time and she was absolutely wonderful! She was very thorough and detailed. We love the pictures and update at each visit. We look forward to using Lori for our future cat sitting needs.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
