Your dog's second Best friend!

Pet care experience

I am an insured and experienced Dog Walker/Boarding/Daycare /Dog Sitter since 2015, I have just moved to Spring Hill Florida. I'm sure you worry about your dog's when you are away, I will be a good replacement for you, loving and caring for your dogs like they are my own. I have many client references to provide you testimony of the quality service I will provide your family dogs. We have a large fully fenced in backyard in a great dog walking neighborhood. No young children at home, just 3 dog loving adults available all day long. We use consistent house rules that are basic dog obedience providing a loving, caring environment for our dogs and visiting dogs. I have had dogs most of my life and been through many Dog training classes with my dogs and will share my experience with you or use the methods you choose to work with your dogs. I have even attended training classes with clients to be certain that I was using the same techniques for their dog to be consistent. I want to be your dogs "second best friend". I am also a trained handler of now retired to Florida "Maggie" the LLC-K9 Comfort Dog from Christ the King Lutheran Church, Newtown, CT. She is service level trained dog who is more than just a service dog. This is rewarding ministry program that our church began after the Sandy Hook School tragedy. It's a volunteer program to bring comfort to those in need visiting schools, hospitals nursing homes, and rehab centers, community events any where people are feeling happy, anxiety, grief or tragedy, Maggie visited the children and faculty at the Sandy Hook Elementary School several days each week. I look forward to learning more about how I can help you and your dog(s). GYDIUP, Lori

Five-Star Review for Lori: A Lifesaver for Zeus and Apollo! I had the pleasure of using Lori's services for our two standard poodles, Zeus and Apollo, and I cannot recommend her enough. Finding someone you trust to take care of your fur babies can be challenging, but Lori made the process seamless, especially on such short notice. For two consecutive days, Lori was the superhero for Zeus and Apollo. She visited our home twice daily, ensuring that they were not just cared for but also given the attention and affection they deserve. Her dedication to their well-being was evident in how happy and calm Zeus and Apollo were upon our return. Lori's reliability, care, and genuine love for animals shine through her work. She went above and beyond, and because of that, I am looking forward to entrusting her with Zeus and Apollo's care in the future. A big thank you to Lori for being so amazing!

Teddy is usually a very anxious guy. He is very comfortable with Lori, her husband and their dogs. We have peace of mind when he is with her.

Safety, trust & environment

I have many years of experience boarding and walking with many types of dogs. I enjoy walking dogs and will provide quality handling skills with my training experience, even the challenge of walking multiple dogs. I do not call myself a trainer but will do my best to use basic training/handling techniques with your family pups. Perhaps improving their behavior by using my experience and consistency. Meet & Greet before we confirm any visit by meeting at my home for a short pack walk then some off leash introduction in our fenced in backyard. We love hosting dogs in our home and Maggie and Marty do too!

Information Lori F. would like to know about your pet

The more I know about your dog the better I can care for them. I will discuss basics like age, health, medical needs, food & bio break schedule, temperament, experience with other dogs or critters, activity level but regardless I love them all for their individual personalities...I just LOVE Dogs! I hope you will give me the chance to get to know your special pup.

A typical day

Our half acre large fenced in yard is safe and we are designing a play area for the dogs, complete with doggie door in the Lanai, shade, sandy digging area, agility props and fun play toys. Our pool will welcome those water happy pups too! We do have some house rules like no dogs on beds or furniture. Separate eating areas, crates when needed and multiple dog beds for lounging inside and out! Walks in early AM and later PM no midday walks based on weather.
