Teacher, mom, and pups second home!
Pet care experience
I love that doing this is my second job. I’ve had many jobs and have so much fun meeting new people and new animals! I love fostering, pet sitting, volunteering, and just playing with animals! I am a teacher so I’m off when schools out. I love kids and pets obviously. We got Roxy certified to be a therapy dog and we go to nursing homes on the weekends. It’s a lot of fun! We have had so many different animals! At one time we had 13! We have had parakeets, ducks, hedgehogs, hamsters, ferrets, rats, gerbils, fish, cats, dogs, pig, sugar glider, snake, chinchilla, ..and I’m sure more that I can’t think of right now. We have pet sit before for family, friends, and even people on FB. We enjoy it so much and honestly give the animal so much attention. When they stay with us they have free range of our house and stay inside except for bathroom brakes. We have lived in this house 15 years. My husband works from home so when I’m working here here. My two girls absolutely love when we get to petsit. If animals don’t mesh with ours we have no issue separating them, we put ours up so your dog is comfortable. Our dogs are very happy, playful, submissive, and cuddly. They love new dog friends! We are happy to accommodate for your animal if they aren't allowed on furniture, need medications, want their bed, etc. We will make them feel as comfortable as possible. Bring whatever supplies you like(toys, bed, treats, crate) Having another dog here is a treat for us. Our two daughters are obsessed with animals and are kind and gentle with them. Their favorite animals are their two cats though. We are open to taking care of other animals(Guinea pigs, snakes, lizards, etc) Message me!
Reviews
Lori and her family are the best! I always know when I drop off Dakota, that he is in good hands!
Lori and Paul take excellent care of Angie when I travel. They provide a good, safe home while I’m away, and I don’t worry about her.
Great communication, loved getting pics and updates. Took great care of my dog. Thank you!
Lori did a great job looking after my Pomeranian. She did whatever was needed to make his 1st boarding experience a good one. He’s kind of spoiled and she gave him his daily treats, snuggled on the couch with him, and even carried him outside to use the restroom when needed. Her 2 daughters helped out too. They are a pet-loving family! I highly recommend Lori!

We make sure the dog is supervised at all times. We will follow any medication and food directions. We have a safe and secure backyard, but they stay inside all day unless they have to potty. We will give them lots of love and attention. If I come to your home I will make sure to leave it the way you left it. I will only do what you ask of me. The dogs will be loved to make them not so sad you are gone. In Our home they are allowed wherever they are comfortable as long as they are destructive or loud.

Information Lori D. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if you dog requires any special care or medications. Also we would love to know if they are vaccinated and have flea preventative. Ours are fully covered in all areas. I would like to know if they aren’t friendly with cats so we can separate them. Also we will not watch any male dogs who hike their leg and pee on our furniture. That’s a big one. We also do not watch dogs who keep us up all night.
A typical day
We like to go on walks to the local park and creek. We also like to allow them to play in and outside of the house. Most dogs love belly rubs and for us to be silly with them. Some like to play fetch and we have tons of toys! And for those low key dogs they can just chill on or off the couch while watching tv.

My husband is home always. Me and the kids are home when school is out. For home visits, weekends or holidays are best. Any dog that comes here is just part of the family. We love to spoil them with play and love.
