Love & Care As If You Were There!

Caring for pets is my full-time career and passion. I have experience working at a doggy daycare and a rehabilitation center, and I’m CPR certified with expertise in administering medications, including injections. I’ve worked with dogs of all ages, temperaments, and special needs, from training dogs, house-training puppies to caring for seniors and anxious or aggressive dogs. I have extensive experience earning the trust of even the most nervous pets. Animals tend to be drawn to me, no matter their personality. I’m available around the clock, any day of the week, to love, walk, feed, board, train, and bathe your pet. My toy poodle, Teddy, loves making new friends. We love visiting Dan Nicholas Park, where there’s always something new to explore. Weather it’s a relaxing walk with a mellow dog who enjoys sniffing and exploring, or an energetic workout to tire out a dog with boundless energy. I live at Corbin Hills so we walk the golf course and neighborhood as well. I’d love to meet you and your pet, and if you’d like, they can join us on our park adventures!

Lori is absolutely amazing! She took such wonderful care of my cat Mellow while I was away, and I couldn’t be more grateful. Mellow is usually shy with new people, but he quickly warmed up to Lori thanks to her calm and loving energy. She kept me updated with sweet photos , videos and messages, which gave me total peace of mind. I came home to a very happy, relaxed cat—and a tidy home! Thank you, Lori, for treating Mellow like your own. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy pet sitter!

Excellent service from Lori. Our elderly cat Sebastian just loved her visits and was very happy during our vacation. Lori was super attentive to him. Thanks!

Unfortunately, the sitter had to cancel after one night due to an medical emergency. She called and woke me up early to let me know she wouldn't be able to care for my dog and cat and I needed to find someone else while I was States away. So I called the Rover emergency line in order to find some help since she was too sick to help, and they were able to help me find someone close and in my price range. I had met Lori beforehand to do the pet interview and she seemed like a capable sitter and a nice person. It just happened to be an unfortunate set of events, which is no one's fault.

Lori was absolutely amazing, and helped us watch our kitties in a time where we weren’t sure what we were going to do, and was a complete and total lifesaver! We will 100% be booking with Lori again!
