Pet care experience

Pet mom with years of experience!

Hi, I'm Lori! I have been involved in animal rescue & pet sitting for many years. I've always had pets of my own as far back as I can remember. From simple potty breaks to giving medication, I have experience with just about anything. Senior pets are my weakness, but I'm not picky- I've even sat for a pig! Trusting your pet's care to a stranger can be worrisome, I know from experience. My goal is to provide the care I'd want for my own animals. ❤️

Safety, trust & environment

My goal has always been to keep my client's pets' routines as normal as possible. Rescue work exposed me to animals with many different needs and personalities; giving me invaluable experience. I will care for your pet and home like it's my own.

We had great piece of mind leaving our dog for the first time with Lori. Our dog loved her instantly! Lori kept in touch with us, giving us updates. You would not be able to tell she was here at our home, she left everything in perfect order. We will definitely use Lori again soon!

I have had Lori stay with my cat twice now. She is great! Everytime I travel it seems that a flight gets cancelled or delayed, and she is always happy to stay the extra time until I can make it home. My cat is always happy and relaxed when I return. Thank you, Lori!

We had a great experience with Lori! From the moment we met her at our meet and greet, we were impressed with her professionalism, warmth, and genuine love for animals. Our dog, Baxter, was immediately comfortable with her (which is not always the case with strangers). Seeing his reaction toward her gave us confidence right away. We were completely at ease with Lori staying in our home while we were gone for the weekend. Lori communicated with us regularly, keeping us updated on how Baxter was doing, and sent pictures that reassured us that he was being well cared for. We will most certainly ask Lori to return for another stay!

Lori is timely and caring. She helps me with my rambunctious dog, and I am grateful for her skills. It's a relief knowing I can call on her

Lori did drop in visits for our dog and cat while we were out of town, we appreciated the pictures and updates at every visit! Our animals were happy and house was well cared for when we returned, would recommend!

Lori was wonderful as usual. She kept me updated, respected my home, and cared for my three pets wonderfully. I can tell my aloof older cat is getting more comfortable with Lori, my middle cat enjoys the Lori cuddles, and my dog gets spoiled with walks, cuddles and trips to the dog park.
