Being this is my full time profession, your furry friend has constant monitoring, supervision, and love. There is also plenty of socializing with other dogs. I am always mindful of my shy or less social dogs, allowing more trusting with me, than with social necessity. Once trust is established, with Patience, I introduce dogs one at a time. Outgoing dogs will always get play, fun with a guaranteed will go home tired policy. 🙂

Information Lori S. would like to know about your pet

Though my nickname is Dog Whisperiss, I no longer take non-social, aggressive, possible bitting, dogs. Little dog complexes are fine as they are understood and can be managed. Any quirks about your pup is greatly appreciated by all, mostly your pet. Sensitive to touch, aggressive with play/ball, food aggressive, separation anxiety, etc. Must have flea prevent meds prior to booking. We are flea free here :0)please note one flea cycle = up to 200 fleas. I also have a late pickup and drop off fee of $10.00. It applies to anything after 7 pm. Though I do best to have all cost presented, you may have Extra needs that require extra time. We can discuss prior to booking. I also specialize in long term stays and discount anything after 7 days.

A typical day

I am a multi-dog home, having 4-6 pups 95% of the time. When your furry family member stays at my house, your dog becomes my dog. Part of our family, car rides, beach (Where we can), play play play. Large active dogs get ball time with plenty of energy released. Also, separate large/small dog play areas keeping safety in mind. Please note that I do not accept or take in assertive or aggressive dogs. Thank you for your understanding.

Our Bernese Mountain Dog seemed to really enjoy his stay with Lori while we were in town for a conference in Ojai. We highly recommend if your dog loves doggie daycare as much as ours does. Lori provided extra love and care in our absence and sent us photos while he was acclimating to show us he was getting along ok with the other pups. We would book again if in the area! Thank you Lori
