Safety, trust & environment

I have a large fenced grassy yard for your dog to play in. I always supervise outside playtime. My dog Ollie will love to play with your dog too! There are plenty of cozy spots indoors for your dog to nap or sleep. I do not use crates therefore I ONLY accept well mannered dogs who can be trusted to roam around my home freely.

Information Lori N. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know if your dog is social with other dogs. How do they behave while out in public on walks? Do they have any issues, special needs or allergies? Any quirks or rituals?

A typical day

I will walk your dog around my friendly safe neighborhood twice a day. I have a large enclosed grassy backyard and will have fun playing ball, chase or just relaxing in the sun with your dog. I promise to stay with your dog no less than 20 hours a day and provide a completely safe in-house environment when I am not there. Your dog can expect lots of love and cuddles from me, my dog-loving 15 year old and husband!

Pet care experience

Hello, I’d love to help you with your pet sitting needs! PLEASE READ BEFORE SENDING ME A REQUEST: I generally board 2-3 dogs per night. I do NOT offer daycare. My prices are not flexible. Drop off/Pick up times are between 6 am and 9 pm. I can ONLY accept LITTLE dogs (approx 15” max, floor to top of back), UNDER 25 POUNDS, who are 100% POTTY TRAINED to go outside in the yard, (no marking, no excited peeing, no accidents, no potty pads or needing diapers, this is a no exception requirement not a suggestion), house trained, non-aggressive, dog-friendly, neutered/spayed and are up to date on vaccinations and flea control. Dogs must be able to be left up to 3 hours by themselves, must not CAUSE ANY DAMAGE TO HOME, NO DOGS WITH SEPARATION ANXIETY! They MUST be able to sleep independently with other dogs on dog beds or couch, no barking or whining or bathroom trips during the night. NO EXCEPTIONS. No puppies under one year, NO bull dogs of any type or rough dogs, no difficult or dominant breeds please. I have a deep love for dogs and a lifetime of experience. I've been taking care of dogs as well as many other kinds of pets all my life. I am an incredible pet sitter because I always put a dog’s care and attention first. My priority is always safety first, followed by lots of love, attention and fun! I am a very trustworthy, honest and responsible person who you can count on. I am a full time sitter, who is super active and loves to go for walks and play with dogs. I have taken care of dogs from newborns to seniors and have raised them to be wonderful, friendly, happy and healthy best friends. I love all my pets like family and I promise to treat yours like family too! Please read my reviews and additional details to see if I am the right sitter for your dog!

Thank you Lori, Kaden and Ollie for taking such good care of Lady. I always feel secure and at ease leaving our Cockapoo with you. Lady enjoys playing with Ollie and other friends in the big back yard. Lots of love, exercise and special care!

Lori is truly the best—I don’t say that lightly. This was my first time leaving my dog for an extended stay, and I was honestly nervous going into it. From day one, Lori completely put me at ease. She sent daily updates and photos, which meant everything. I could see how happy, relaxed, and well cared for my dog was the entire time. It honestly felt like he was on his own little vacation. The funniest part? When I picked him up, he was so happy and comfortable that I half expected him to look at me like, “Wait… I have to leave?” That says it all. If you’re even slightly anxious about leaving your pet, Lori is the one you want. She treats your dog like her own, and it shows in every update, every photo, and in how your dog comes home—happy, calm, and clearly loved. Highly, highly recommend.
