Highlights
Pet care experience
If it barks or meows, I’m in!
Big or small, I love them all. I was raised around all types of animals, and currently have six of my own, and one grand puppy that I look after while my daughter attends nursing school. I have three cats, two small dogs, and one house horse (my great Dane, Sheldon.). I usually have at least two animals sitting on me at any given time.
Cat care experience
Lori also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.

Safety, trust & environment
The beauty of coming into your home is that I can care for your animals as you would, causing minimal disruption to them and their routine while you are away.
Ratings and reviews
Lori was amazing and so accommodating to the little quirks our dogs have. Lori will take care of your dogs as if they were her own!
Lori was amazing with our pets! Our two cats are normally very shy and anxious, always hiding under the blankets or the bed when people visit. But with Lori, they came out of their shells and even greeted her at the door! It gave us such peace of mind on vacation knowing they were comfortable, happy, and in great hands. When we came home, we could see a real positive change in their behavior with us too. We couldn’t be more grateful—thank you, Lori!
Lori was amazing and took excellent care of Kaia. She sent lot's of updates and Kaia received a lot of attention. I would book her again.
Lori is a kind and considerate person who took care of my precious furry boys (dog and a cat) for a four days, in my own home. The boys were spoiled and happy and the house just was as I left it when I returned. I would absolutely have Lori back anytime I have a pet sitting need!
Lori has 3 dogs and 3 cats and loves and cares for them deeply. They gravitate to her, whether it be cuddling on the couch, out in the garden together, or walking them thru the trails. I’d trust her with my pets any day of the week !
Lori is a fantastic dog sitter. We love that she has a ton of experience with small dogs and big dogs.. and cats. She has a beautiful backyard that is fully fenced. She's kind, patient and a strong leader for your pet. I HIGHLY recommend Lori.

Schedule
I live near Mill Bay and work in Victoria 4 days a week. I can adjust my work from home day if I am needed to be with your pet full time. With my children grown and out of the house, I have flexibility to help others out when they need a pet sitter.

- Before watching a pet, I like to know everything that will help me keep them safe, happy, and comfortable. That includes their daily routine, feeding schedule, medical needs, and any allergies. I also ask about their personality—Are they shy or outgoing? Do they get along with other pets? Are there any fears or triggers I should know about, like loud noises or certain environments? It’s also helpful to know their favorite toys, treats, or calming techniques, as well as any house rules they follow (like no jumping on furniture or certain areas that are off-limits). The more I know ahead of time, the better I can make sure your pet feels right at home while you’re away.
