Information Lori J. would like to know about your pet

I love learning your pet’s routine and personality so I can keep things as familiar and low-stress as possible. Helpful details include feeding schedules, energy level, medications, and any quirks or triggers. I’m happy to follow your routine closely so your pet feels at home while you’re away.

A typical day

Each day is tailored to your pet. Dogs get walks, playtime, and lots of attention while sticking to their routine. Cats get calm, cozy care with playtime if they’re in the mood and plenty of quiet companionship. My goal is always a happy, relaxed pet who feels comfortable and cared for.

Calm, Caring Cat & Canine Care ❤️🐾

Pet care experience

If you want your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for, I’d love to help 😊 I’m a lifelong animal lover who grew up on a farm caring for all kinds of animals, so understanding behavior and routines comes naturally to me. I love working with puppies and kittens and reinforcing good habits in a positive, consistent way. I also have experience with senior pets, including medications and detailed care. Whether your pet is playful, shy, or anxious, I take the time to adjust to what helps them feel most at ease. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, and I stick closely to your pet’s routine to keep things calm and familiar. You’ll always get thoughtful updates and photos, so you feel connected and at ease while you’re away. I treat every pet like my own and truly enjoy getting to know each one’s personality ❤️ 🐾

Lori is fantastic!! We’re new to the area and were nervous about finding a new Rover, but Lori put that all to rest. She took the time to do a meet and greet to learn about our dog’s quirks and, although our dog can be reactive with other dogs, she made us feel at ease. Lori was thorough and thoughtful with her check-ins and our dog can’t wait to see her new friend again!

Lori is very responsible, cares a lot for Scooter. Its very worriless for me to stay away for days, leaving Scooter at home. That's because of Lori. She keeps me updated with all details. Thank you!

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.
