A "Staycation" for your pets

Pet care experience

Hi, thank you for taking a moment out of your day to read about me, along with the services I offer. I am lucky enough to have a job I love and can multi-task at home, in a play, and in the work environment. I usually have 4 to 6 dogs on any given day. I think it is essential to let you know that I only take one new customer at a time. I am aware of all dispositions of other dogs as they are regulars. Free consultation, and if need be, extra time here to get to know and trust me along with my environment. I started as a groomer 20 years ago, acquiring excellent knowledge in almost all breed dispositions. I am very intuitive with your furry beings, from the Jack Russel "Terror" to the shy Whippet, who I had the pleasure of training. With love and socializing, Rosie turned out to be the social butterfly. Through Love, Respect, and understanding of dog needs, not necessarily people, my pups get to be just that pups, playing and enjoying the social interactions I offer in my home. I also send updates to all clients and pictures. If I am super busy, it may take some time as I am with the pups. For my special needs clients, we have a separate area allowing them a pleasant stay without another dog's stress. I am mindful and go the extra mile for my furry friends and their parents (aka you, the client). I'm home 90% of the time, offer a large yard that's about 6 feet cinderblock wall high, very safe, secure, as well as extra gates inside. I can handle most medical needs. Have a super day, Lori and the four paws crew What Lori would like to know about your pet Though my nickname is Dog Whisperiss, I no longer take non-social, aggressive, possibly biting dogs. Little dog complexes are fine as they are understood and can be better managed. Any quirks about your pup are greatly appreciated by all, mostly your pet. Sensitive to touch, aggressive with play/ball, food aggressive, separation anxiety, etc. Must have flea-prevent meds before booking. We are flea-free here :0)please note one flea cycle = up to 200 fleas. Though I do best to have all costs upfront, you may have Extra needs that require extra time. We can discuss this before booking. I also specialize in long-term stays and discount anything after seven days.

Lori was very friendly and you could tell she enjoys dogs. My only negative comment was I only received 1 picture so I didn't know what they did during the day. Did she take her for a walk, did my dog play with Lori's dog. Ella seemed happy when I picked her up so she must have had a good day.

Lori is very experienced and has a caring way about her. My dog was very much at ease when I picked her up from Lori's having enjoyed a nice day with her and the other dogs in Lori's care. I really liked her emphasis on flea control, too! I highly recommend her to anyone who needs a dog sitter!

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.

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. 🙂
