I’m a teacher and I am back at school full time. My boyfriend works swing shift, so he’s often home in the mornings and leaves in the afternoon. So your pup may be at the house alone for about 4 hours. We go on a short walk in the morning and have breakfast before I leave for work. When I get home we go on a longer walk and play. During the weekends we enjoy long walks or hiking.

A typical day

I loved taking my dogs on hikes and long walks. If your pup is comfortable in a car, I enjoy taking dogs on hikes along Snoqualmie or Stevens Pass. I also live close to Grandview dog park and enjoy taking the dogs to the park to play fetch if you’re comfortable with that!

Pet care experience

Hello, my name is Lori and I was a dog mom for 12 years to my adorable cattle dog Blue. I had Blue since he was a puppy and we experienced the full extent of life together. Our adventures ranged from dog park fetch sessions to hiking through the mountains. During his senior years, Blue experienced many medical needs, and ultimately this April we had to say our final goodbye. Being Blue’s mom equipped me with the deep seated love I think every dog owner carries for their pup and the apprehension that sometimes takes place when finding care for your fur baby. I promise that I will do everything in my power to make your pups stay, walk, or drop in visit as safe and caring as possible. I've dog and cat sat for multiple of my friends and family and am honored to accept that responsibility for your time away. Whatever you need, I'm your gal!

Lori took amazing care of Harley during our last week away and was prompt with sending us updates. Harley had so much fun she almost didn’t even want to leave! Lori is a reliable sitter.
