Versatile, kind, experienced sitter
Pet care experience
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, lizards, hamsters, bunnies, horses, pigs, 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 house/food drop-in visits 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 also usually do lots of walks and playing together as well as simply sitting and petting and offering yummy treats!
Information Lori L. would like to know about your pet
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.
A typical day
I have often taken dogs with me in the van to country settings where they can walk and run more freely--not always be on a leash. I also like to mix it up--not do the same walk every day, try new places or do a short one early and a short one late, etc. I also adjust the walks to the dog's ages and abilities: one 1 hour-long walk, or 3 five-minute strolls, or 26 little walks for puppies with tons of energy!!

Availability
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.
