Pet care experience
As the human of two cats, I know how stressful it is to leave them when I'm out of town. There's nothing better than knowing that someone is looking out for them, playing with them and sending me pictures of their adventures while I'm away! So, I'm here to pay it forward and provide the same kind of attentive pet sitting I expect for folks and their fur babies.
Reviews
Lori did a great job, sent awesome pictures, and kept me updated with detailed Rover cards after each visit. Would recommend!
Lori is absolutely a dream! Our kitties really love and feel at ease with her. She takes the extra time with them and communicates when needed. She has become our go-to sitter 🤍
Lori really went above and beyond for my kitty. It was my first time being away from him and her photos and detailed updates really helped calm my worries.
Lori takes such great care of my cat. I really appreciate the detailed reports and great pictures she provides. I've booked Lori several times, and I feel like she has really gotten to know my cat, her personality, and what she likes.
About Lori S.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I do drop in visits with kitties exclusively. Upon arrival at a client's home, I typically spend the first five minutes letting the resident cat get used to me, whether that's through letting them sniff me, giving then pets, playing with a mouse on a string or just sitting next to whatever piece of furniture they are hiding under and talking them through their separation anxiety. Then I quickly take care of chores, which can usually be finished up in a matter of minutes. The rest of my visit I spend paying attention to the kitty (or kitties) in whatever form they will accept.
Information Lori S. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your kitty has any behavioral quirks I should know about. Mine likes to drag his favorite string around the house with him like Linus with his blanket. :)
A typical day
I am a master with the string on a stick. I've also taught my cats to play fetch and to come when called (for the most part). :)

Availability
I try to keep sitting locations within walking distance of my house. For bookings that are more than 2 miles from Peninsula Park, I will add an extra $5/extra mile/per visit to the booking fee to account for the extra travel time. I generally prefer to visit before or after normal work hours but occasionally, I can make visits over my lunch hour work, if necessary.
