Your New Walking (or Napping) Buddy

I’ve taken care of my family dog since I was 15! I fully house trained her since she was a puppy and taught her all her tricks (the classic like sit, stay/come, speak, rollover). I have over 10 years experience with small dogs, and a few years of combined experience with larger dogs such as labs, pit-mixes, boxers, and even one giant Akita! I adopted a cat that I had the pleasure of caring for a few years- love snuggles or leaving her be when needed.

Lori did an amazing job taking care of my Rocco. He had so much fun and did not want to leave when I came to pick him up. Lori was great about sending updates and putting together cute videos of what they did. I really appreciate the care and consideration and will definitely be bringing Rocco back. Thank you!!

Fantastic cat sitter. Very attentive to the cats, took lots of great pictures, and cleaned up after them when they made a mess. Will absolutely rebook with Lori!

Lori is wonderful. Our dog got all the love and attention he needed while left in Lori’s care. Will be using her again to watch our dog.

Safety, trust & environment

I have experience and am capable in keeping large dogs apart when needed if you prefer your pup not interact with others while out and about. When working with ACPS, dogs are kept 10ft away from all other animals when outside the shelter. When working with reactive dogs, I do my best to take walking during less busy times around the neighborhood. My precious cat did not enjoy dogs as much as I do, so I know how to keep a calm house when everyone may not be so friendly!

A typical day

I always need to get my steps in! I love visiting new neighborhoods for a walk and can’t wait for your dog to show me their favorite things to smell! Let’s use up all that energy by throwing the ball, playing tug of war, or even going for a jog. I own an indoor cycling studio where clients are in and out for a couple hours a day, with your permission they are welcome to come make plenty of new friends!

High energy or chill- I can do both! Please let me know if they do not do well greeting dogs or humans, or if they have any neighborhood doggy friends they MUST say hello to if we see them on a walk. Don’t forget to let me know of any special release words or how to treat specific behaviors.
