Pet care experience

Pets are my heart and soul

I have lived with and loved dogs my entire life. I enjoy getting to know each dog's unique personality, and go at their pace when getting to know a new dog. I have three dogs of my own, plus my sister's two dogs who I love completely. They are the most spoiled dogs on earth, as they should be. I volunteer at a local shelter, and have transported dogs for different rescue groups. I once drove into Detroit in the middle of the night to rescue a mama pit bull and her four puppies, who were in bad shape, and drove them to a rescue group in Auburn Hills. I let the dogs set the pace when I meet a new dog. It's all about their comfort. When meeting the dogs of one of my current clients, I was told that Maddie is very skittish, and most likely will stay away from me. Within five minutes of our first meeting, Maddie was sitting on my foot, and I was petting her with both hands.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I try very hard to maintain your pets’ normal schedule, for feeding and potty breaks. If they wake me up at 4:30 because they have to potty, I get up and take them out. If your pets normally sleep with you, they can sleep with me.

Lori was awesome. On-time, stayed the whole time. House was as I left it. And Toby loved her. She sent many pics of Toby everyday through out the day. Will book Lori again if timing works out.

Lori really allowed me to enjoy our trip . We had one cat on medicine and she was able to give it to him without a problem . Our other two kittens were feral and it took me 6 weeks to get them socialized but they had no problem interacting with Lori . She must be a cat whisperer !

Schedule

I do pet care full time, so I’m pretty much available all the time. Unfortunately, I don’t do late night drop ins (after 10 pm), for personal safety.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
Lori can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
I welcome all breeds. I just need to know if they have any health issues that would prevent them from playing also if they are allowed on the furniture. I also like to know if they are dog friendly, and how they react to strangers, so I know if I need to avoid others while out walking.
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.
