A Pampered Pet

Pet care experience

** I am ONLY taking dogs that are well socialized and comfortable being with other dogs. *** I LOVE dogs and take their well being seriously. Currently, I have a Boxer and she is my baby. I am very picky about her care and presume you feel the same about your pooch(es). ❤ I provide care for all pets whether they are furry, feathered, finned, amphibian or reptiles (sorry, no snakes). ❤ While I don't have children living in my home, I am a proud Grandma. My grandchildren are 10 and 19 years of age, and are with me from time to time. I need to know if your furbaby is child friendly so I can keep everyone safe and happy. ❤ I want to share my experience and knowledge with those who can benefit from it. I have had, and cared for dogs most of my life. Whether you have a puppy, adult or senior fur baby, you can be confident in their care. ❤ Along with smooches on top of the head, ear and belly rubs, I am familiar with special needs and giving medication if needed. ❤ I am equally at ease with the under 10 lbs or over 100 lbs breeds. ❤ Whether you're looking for Drop-In visits (food, meds, companionship, potty breaks), or Dog Walking (in fair weather) . . . you will receive a Rover Card confirming service provided and at least 1 picture of your pet(s) ❤ Boarding in My Home - My goal is to provide my 2 legged clients with Peace-of-Mind, and my 4 legged clients with care & comfort while you are away. My requirements are firm, but very simple: 1. Your furbaby must be well socialized. 2. Current on Vaccinations & Flea Control (rabies, distemper, kennel cough) 3. 100% outside potty trained. 4. Spayed/ Neutered. (exceptions on puppies) 5. Crate trained. A stay with me means: * Plenty of TLC. * Eating their own food & treats which you provide, (along with feeding instructions). * Sleeping with their own bedding, or with me and my girls whichever you/ or they prefer. * Daily brushing if required. * Photos and updates during their stay. I charge by the day (not night). So for example if your pets needs care Friday, Sat & Sun that is a 3 day stay. I do charge extra for each dog, Holiday Rates, or Puppies under 1 yr. old. I may be able to provide pick-up & drop off svc for $25.00 (round trip or one way same fee), depending on how many dogs I have. When your fur baby stays with me they will be as spoiled as my own girl is. They are allowed, on most furniture, to sleep with me, and in good weather have free access to outside. They will always be feed separately from each other. Meaning unless you board more than one dog at a time, and they eat together at home ( same room), they will not be with another dog during meal time. I 2 wire kennels which our K-9 guests can use. Ideally you will provide some bedding items so they feel more at home, but if not I will provide an orthopaedic foam pad and blankets. Your fur baby will have unresticted access to the kennel with the door open. I kennel (very rarely), but as needed to keep everyone comfortable and safe, primarily if I am away for short periods of time. If I sound like someone you'd trust to provide care for your 4-legged family member(s) while you're away, send me a Request. Thank you for considering me, I look forward to meeting you. Regards, Lori

Made our dog part of the family. Great communication and pictures. Penny will miss her new buddy, Shelby.

Lori is extremely in-tune to the dogs and their needs. She sends regular updates with photos and pays attention to the details.. This was my 3-year old goldendoodle's first time away from home and me. Lori gave her all of the love and attention she needed. I'd definitely use her again.

During our weekend visit to Sun River, Nikki and her husband watched my very anxious Aussiedoodle for the day while we took kids to an event that was not suitable for dogs. They took wonderful care of her (and me :-), I must add) and I will not hesitate to contact her on our next visit to the area. Thank you, Nikki!

I have a fully fenced yard (double gates on both sideyards). In good weather the dogs have free access to the backyard, as well as water, dog beds, and covered couches anytime. Ideally you will bring their favorite blanket and toy. I do have dog beds and they are free to use them. The dogs are with me in the main part of the house or backyard throughout the day, and usually sleep with me at night, unless you want then kenneled at night.

A successful/positive Meet & Greet is a vital step in assuring a positive experience for your companion. During that meeting we can cover anything you feel is important to make your baby comfortable (i.e. routines, likes and dislikes, favorite toys/beds/blankets), as well as allergies (enviroment/food), In case of emergency contact including vet info. Overall health status, current issues if any, vaccine history, and whether there has been any negative behavior issues with other sitters.

A typical day

What do you prefer - A neighborhood walk, playing with toys, running around the backyard, being brushed, a good belly rub? Maybe you have a grooming or vet appt. you can't take them to. . . . No worries I can. Oh, and maybe a treat or two if it's okay.
