Safety, trust & environment

I care for animals in the client's home. I feel animals are more comfortable in the environment they are used to living in. It leads to a happier experience for us both. I follow any and all instructions left by the client.

Information Lori R. would like to know about your pet

It's important to know where all the dog supplies are located first, and the pet's daily routine. Any behaviors that I need to be aware of and how the client usually handles these behaviors. It's good to know of any allergies or medical conditions. It's also good to know how the pets favorite things so they have a source of comfort.

A typical day

For cats, we'll play with wand toys if they have some. I like to play laser pointer, it always ends with a fun toy at the end. Chin or head scratches are always relaxing. For small dogs, we'll play a fun game of fetch or tug of war. Maybe do some puzzle toys if they have some, and of course, some delicious treats and belly rubs.

Pet care experience

What sets me apart is the genuine care I bring—patient attention, gentle affection, and the little extras that make pets feel truly seen. I take my time, follow their rhythms, and treat every animal like they’re already part of my family.

Lori was great! She was on time. She sent me tons of photos and updates. In my fair babies were happy to have her company. Thank you, Lori!

Lori was amazing with our little old dog! Took care of all his needs and kept us updated the whole time. We'd recommend her to anybody!

We had a great experience using Lori as a catsitter while we went away. We felt very comfortable having her stay over to watch our cats and happy with her regular updates and love and attention for them. Would recommend!
