Information Lori D. would like to know about your pet

During our pre-visit, we can discuss your dog's needs. Any of their dislikes, favourites, eating habits and any other quirky characteristics I need to know about. Are there any behavioral issues? Meds to be given? Health issues? Vet contact.

A typical day

If you ever need a sitter, I’m here!!! Yes, I'm that person 😊 I truly mean it. Whether it’s for an afternoon, a weekend, or longer, I offer a loving, safe, and calm environment where your dog will be cared for with the utmost attention—just as you would yourself. Walks are twice a day, with plenty of backyard activities.

I'LL BE YOUR PETS FAVOURITE HUMAN

Pet care experience

I've had a lifetime of loving and raising dogs. From the chaotic puppy years to our sweet seniors. Experienced with dog walks, giving medication, and senior needs. I have experience with 'Frenchies', a breed with their own rules 😀 And I'm an expert in cuddles. My goal is simple: to make your dog so comfortable, they won’t even notice you’re gone. With patience, play, cuddles, and consistency, I treat every fur baby like family. Because to me, they are. 🩵

Lori took great care of Noah and Zoey while I was away for the day. She kept me updated, was easy to communicate with, and I came home to two happy, relaxed dogs. Thank you so much for looking after them, I wouldn’t hesitate to book with you again!

Lori and her family was great with Marshal (Dog). Marshal was with her for 5 days and being a senior dog he required some special attention and Lori did a great job at it. Lori provided daily updates and shared a lot of pictures. I appreciated all of her anecdotes and laugh out loud comments about how Marshal was on any particular day. Will definitely be reaching out to her again for dog sitting.

I couldn't be happier with the care my dog received. From the very beginning, it was clear that you genuinely love and understand dogs. You took the time to make sure my dog felt comfortable, safe, and happy throughout the stay. I really appreciated the regular photo updates and messages. It gave me great peace of mind knowing that my dog was being so well cared for while I was away. You were attentive to every detail, from feeding and walks to making sure my dog got plenty of attention and affection. When I picked my dog up, he/she was relaxed, happy, and clearly had a wonderful time. It's not easy to find someone you can completely trust with your pet, but you exceeded all my expectations. Thank you for treating my dog like part of your family. I would absolutely book with you again and highly recommend you to anyone looking for a caring, responsible, and trustworthy pet sitter.
