Pet care experience

Versatile, Kind, Experienced Sitter

*** I will be available in Spokane and CDA starting April 10th. Hope to talk to you all soon! I have been a housesitter and petsitter for years. I really enjoy getting to have new pet friends! I have taken care of all sorts of animals--dogs, cats, birds, lizards, hamsters, bunnies, horses, pigs, goats, chickens and even cows! I feel comfortable with pets who have medical issues, as well. I also have done a fair amount of pet massages for dogs and cats (not lizards, though!!)

Safety, trust & environment

I have done all levels of pet care-from simple one hour drop-in visits for cats to feeding and cleaning up for horses and cows (extra fee for that!!) So, I am very versatile with my clients! I also find that I bond easily with pets, and can often connect to shy or nervous cats and dogs by being present, calm and talking to them. I also know to leave someone alone when they just don't want to connect. I usually do lots of walks and playing together as well as simply sitting and petting and offering yummy treats!

Lori did a great a job with our dog. She was punctual with her visit as per the time we requested and was very generous with her time. We loved the photos she sent and communication regarding her visit. Will definitely trust her with our dog again!

Lori came to look after my two dogs on New Year’s Day. She helped us out last minute and was wonderful with both of our pups. Would definitely recommend and will contact her again in the future!

We have used several pet sitters in the past. Most were “adequate” and a couple, outright disappointment. Lori is hands down, the best house/pet sitter we’ve ever hired! She is honest to a fault, conscientious and an exceptional communicator. Our 3 dogs and cat absolutely love her! I will hire no one but Lori for as long as she continues to be available. There is no word adequate to describe how happy we are to have found and hired her.

Schedule

I have an online business, so I usually housesit and work part-time online. This makes it very easy for me to be in a home with pets who need more attention, or dogs that need walked often.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
Lori can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
I have experience with pets who have medical issues and/or need daily medicine and I have done end-of-life care. I also have a lot of experience with shelter dogs and cats that have had trauma in their life-I try to provide lots of calm and happy interactions. I work to create a safe energy to help them be less nervous or scared. The two situations I DO NOT work with are aggressive dogs or familys that have 4 or more dogs.
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.
