I Love kitty cat companionship.

Cat care experience

I've cared for kitty cats over 6 years. I’ve had cats of my own for 12 years, It’s been ever hard losing them, but after their death, getting to love & care for my pet parents cats has been a blessing. To provide the same dedication, Love, and affection I gave to my own cats. I have plenty of room, toys and towers to make sure they fill Happy & Safe.

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.

I am fortunate to do what I love full-time. The pet parents that board with me, I offer them help with any training needs that they may have at no cost to them. It’s just something I love doing.
