Pet care experience

I sit for both cats and dogs. I have a 16-year-old Yellow lab who would love to hang out with your dog. I have a 16-year-old female cat as well. Sierra, my dog, is very easygoing. She loves having new dogs to play with. She is even protective of smaller dogs. If your dog likes to play, she will play. If your dog likes to sleep, she sleeps! I have a fenced-in yard for dogs to roam free. My husband and I love all pets and will do our best to make sure your dog or cat feels at home. Your dog won't have to wait to go potty; the back door to the fenced yard is steps away. Dogs are never left unattended outside. We have stuffed animals and other toys to chew on and play with. I also offer treats! Please feel free to bring your own toys or whatever makes your pet feel at home. We let our dog on the couch, and your dog is free to also. Feel free to see and meet our dog and cat before you make up your mind. I don't crate pets unless the owner does so at home. If you have a cat or cats, I would love for them to stay with us. I absolutely love cats. My cat is 16 years old now and likes to nap a lot. Cat guests will get their own bedroom. Please be sure your cat won't mind being in a room for their entire stay. My cat doesn't get along with other cats. We can't take cats that are not spayed, neutered or aggressive.. Why I love dog sitting We have always had a dog! When I was young, we had miniature schnauzers. Now that I am married, we have had Labs. We baby our pets and couldn't live without them. Meet my pets I have 1 cat and 1 dog. I also have caged birds! We treat our pets like family. About my yard We have a nice big fenced-in backyard. Plenty of room to run and play. Your dog will be safe in our yard! We never leave dogs unattended in the yard. My experience in administering medication I have administered dog medication in the form of a treat or in a pill pocket. I have not administered shots. My husband and I are at home the majority of the time unless we go out for short errands. We usually aren't gone for more than 2 to 3 hours. If your pet needs 24-hour care, we will adjust the price and be with your pet full-time. We have a dog-friendly house. For cat guests, we will give them a private bedroom with plenty of food, water, and a kitty litter box. You are welcome to bring your own kitty box as well. Cats and dogs are treated like our own.

This was the first time using Lori and it was a great experience. She texted a photo and message about my fur babies each morning. Will definitely use her again.

We love Lori!! She originally took care of our one cat, then we got another rescue cat and she took both of them this past trip. If cats are not known for liking change, our cats like going to Lori's house.

Thank you so much for taking care of my pup. They were so nice and Lori sent me pictures and updates all throughout my pup’s stay. It helped me feel much better about leaving him while I had to travel! I highly recommend Lori !

Information Lori H. would like to know about your pet

All dogs must get along well with cats and other dogs. Hunting dogs are not a good fit as they have the instinct to chase smaller animals, including cats. We can't accept dogs that are prone to fighting or aggression. We generally separate the cats from the dogs but want to be sure everybody will be safe. Are any medications needed? Are they prone to having anxiety when in the care of others? Does your dog have all its shots? Any resource guarding? Any triggers? Flea and tick meds and heartworm? Flea medicine is important, being we live in Florida and can't control fleas. Please provide a copy of all vaccinations with you when you drop your baby off with us. Any allergies? I give peanut butter as treats, please notify me if your pup can't have treats or is allergic to peanut butter. We also have butcher bones but don't use rawhide. Just want to be sure your baby is ready for a great stay! If you have a big family of dogs, please contact me, and if I have the space, we can probably accommodate them at a reduced rate. I have had up to 8 dogs at one time! We truly love pets, and you will get tons of pictures! The overnight rate is for 24 hours, if you need to drop off your fur baby in the morning and pick up later than that on the day of pick up, we will charge a doggy daycare rate. Please note: hours of operation are from 8 am to 8 pm. We can not accommodate later pick-ups or drop-offs. If my calendar shows full at any time, please contact me. It may be because we are having dogs leave that day and will be open.

A typical day

Your dog's sleeping arrangement Sierra loves to play host, and we usually have her, and our dog guests sleep in the family room. We also let dogs sleep in our bed with us. We have toys for chewing or playing fetch. Feel free to bring a dog bed, blanket, toys, treats, food, and whatever else makes your dog or cat happy! Our goal is to make your dog or cat feel like they are on vacation! Cats will get their own bedroom. We do not cage our pets, but if your dog feels safer in a cage, we welcome it. The time I'll spend with your dog My husband and I are home most of the time so your dog will get all the attention he/she needs! We have a fenced yard, but we don't leave the dogs unattended outside for more than a few minutes. Sierra loves to play tug of war with others. Let us know what types of activities your dog enjoys, and we will accommodate them.
