Pet care experience

Let me be your pets 2nd best friend

I’ve had the privilege of making animal care my life for the past 30+ years. I’ve worked at 2 zoos, a wildlife preserve and now I pet sit full time. I love meeting new pets and their parents. My main priority is ensuring your animal is comfortable and safe while you’re away. I strive to give peace of mind to any worried pet parents. 😊 My favorite activities with your Furkid include enrichment with toys, fetching, dispensing treats and rubbing backs and bellies. I can medicate, give insulin and prepare special diets. I’m also trained in animal first aid and I excel at following directions.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I stick to their usual daily routine or follow whatever instructions are left. I like to keep a consistent visit/feeding/potty time. I have a lot of patience and will encourage your pet to socialize with me. We can do whatever they like, play with toys, take walks, eat treats, rub backs or just sit together. I also water plants, check mail/paper and keep a general an eye on things.

Lori was great with our two dogs and they seemed to really love her! She took excellent care of them and our home. We appreciate that she was very careful to give the dogs their medicines, and took her time outside with them. I also was pleased to get lots of pictures of the girls while we were away so I didn't have to worry about them. We will definitely use Lori again.

Lori is the best! I love hearing from her while I’m at work about her walks and playtime with my dog. I only needed her for a few weeks but she was reliable and really connected with my dog during that time. No complaints here - would highly recommend!

House Sitting • Jan 28, 2026

Lori came over to my house at least three or four times to get to know dogs before I left them in her care for nine days. She was very kind, professional, and loving. Yesterday I returned from my trip and everything was great. I highly recommend her and I will use her again.

Schedule

Animal care is all I do. I can do daily walks/visits up to 3 times a day. I’m also available for house sitting and overnights. I have a number of clients in the Baton Rouge area with different pet care needs and I make my own schedule.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
over 101 lbs
Lori can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
I need to know what veterinarian they use. Are they updated on shots? What is their disposition? Will anyone else be home? I like to meet the pet and owner before committing to the visit.
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.
