Availability

I work from home with a very flexible schedule, so I have lots of time for walks and visits. I live close to downtown and near the greenway. It is easy for me to fit in walks and drop in visits into my daily routine. I always welcome a reason to get up from my laptop and get in some walking!

Safety, trust & environment

I treat my client's pets like I cared for my own pets-with lots of love, attention, compassion, and patience. Pets, like us, have lots of personality! When meeting pets for the first time, I spend sometime letting them warm up to me. I get to know them and treat them according to their preferences. Some like lots of belly rubs, others may like slow strolls . I pay close attention the details from pet parents, listen to the pet's communication and interact with them accordingly. Keeping your pet(s) safe and well cared for is my top priority. I provide daily updates with photos.

Information Lori K. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any medical or behavior concerns. The more details you provide me, the better care I can provide for your pet.

A typical day

Typical daily activities include 2-3 walks, lots of belly rubs, playing with toys, and watching the birds and squirrels outside from the porch or the front window. I love going for slow runs with dogs that enjoy lots of physical exercise. Going out to explore the greenway or local trails is always fun. If the dogs play well with others, we can visit a local dog park. With older dogs or those that prefer less activity, I modify accordingly-ensuring lots of time to relax and nap is never a problem!

Lori was absolutely awesome! We left our dog Jack with her for the first time for 14 days and he did great! He came back to us happy and healthy! Lori sent us pictures and updates every day. She followed all our directions and kept him comfortable and safe. We definitely recommend her for any of your dog sitting needs! Thank you Lori!

I would highly recommend Lori to watch and take care of your pup when a sitter is needed. She provided great care for my dog while we were away on vacation. Daily updates for his well being, which includes walks, food, sleep, etc, which allowed me to not worry! Thanks again, Lori! Sky will be looking forward to his next visit! :)

Lori was a great host of our 150lb dog! She sent regular updates and didn’t want to leave when we got there to pick him up! Will be rebooking with Lori in the future.

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.
