Highlights
Pet care experience
Fun and safe boarding and daycare!
*SPICY DOGS WELCOME!* I've been caring for animals all my life. I've been a professional dog trainer for 5 years. I offer every dog that stays with me playtime, socialization, walks, and time to rest and decompress. Boarding and Daycare are structured to fulfill each dog's unique needs while remaining safe. I'm experienced with all ages, sizes, and temperaments. If your dog has a strict routine, I'm happy to adhere to it while they are in my care. Please notify me of any and all special needs your pup might have; medication, food allergies, or anything else! *As stated above, I specialize in difficult dogs. If you have a dog that is hard to board for any reason, like behavioral issues or adult dog that is intact, I can take them. Contact me for more details.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Lori was great, responsive and so very kind. My two giant babies were in good hands.
Lori is my favorite sitter! She is thoughtful, trustworthy, and overall takes great care of my dogs. She was also communicative about my dogs behavior while they were with her, and she was very patient with one of my dogs misbehaving a little. I can rest easy whenever my dogs are with her!
Lori took amazing care of Koda, she was patient and even though the booking was last minute she accepted and was able to keep him comfortable during the firework show. I would 1000% recommend her to anyone.
Great job taking care of our 2 dogs. Lori was very communicative as well.
It gave me such peace of mind to leave Tala with Lori! It's such a relief to have a professional watch over your dog, so I knew Tala was going to get the care and attention she needed. I received regular updates of Tala having a blast chasing birds and getting pets. Tala definitely misses hanging out there!!
Lori watched our dog Hana for four nights and we couldn’t be more pleased. Hana can be very anxious and temperamental, but Lori exceeded our expectations and was able to form a bond with her quickly. We usually avoid boarding Hana at larger facilities because she becomes overwhelmed and overly anxious. However, Lori was able to provide Hana with much more intimate care where she felt safer. Lori provided daily updates showing us that Hana was active and well taken care of. This made it much easier to feel at ease while we are on vacation. We will certainly be using her again.

Schedule
I am a dog trainer that mostly works from home. Taking care of dogs is what I do all day, every day. I love what I do and treat each dog as my own. I strive to make your dogs stay with me fun and enjoyable. When you know your dog is safe and cared for, it makes it easier for you to leave them when necessary.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
While in my care, dogs get structured play, which means if they can socialize with other dogs, they will have supervised play with safe dogs. If not, your dog will have individual play sessions with me. My backyard is fully fenced with a 6 foot fence. However, dogs are not left in the yard unattended. As I've mentioned, I am a dog trainer. I have certain boundaries that I hold all dogs to when they stay with me, even if they are not a training client. Mostly it involves door manners (not rushing through the door without permission) and calm behavior in the house, and excited play is reserved for outside.
Pets
A typical day
While in my care, all dogs get playtime, socialization, exercise, and down time to decompress. The exact type of play, socialization, and exercise is highly individualized to the dog I'm working with. I strive to offer genetically fulfilling play depending on the breed.
