Availability

I do work during the week, but I don’t work long hours, so I can spend plenty of time with your fur babies. We have a doggie door we leave open, but we have a fence we can put up if you prefer, so the dogs can go in the side yard but not the pool area. We like to take early morning and evening walks. ***Please don’t request drop off or pick up times before 7:30am or after 9:30pm. Thank you!

Information Lori M. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special dietary, exercise and social needs, so I can accommodate their specific needs while you are away.

We have a great backyard for exercise. We love throwing toys/tennis balls for pups to chase. We also have a pool your dog can enjoy if they like to swim.

Treating your pup as well as my own

Pet care experience

I grew up loving dogs and have always had my own. Friends often leave their pups in our care when they go out of town. I’d love to meet your pup and take care of him/her when you are out of town. ***I only ever keep one dog family at a time.

My dog Root feels right at home when he’s with Lori. Gives me such peace of mind knowing how well he is cared for.

Lori provides a great atmosphere for Root while I am away on work travel. He is well cared for and gets plenty of outside time to chase lizards. It gives me such piece of mind getting updates and pictures during his stay.

I highly recommend Lori and Honey! They were so welcoming to my timid girl and helped her feel right at home. Lori is really easy to work with and kept me updated with lots of pictures.

Lori took great care of our pups! She provided updates and pictures at least 3 times a day to keep us up to date on how they were doing. This was our first time using rover and we were a little worried at first but Lori helped us through that. Would definitely use again. Thanks!
