Animal Lover Looking For Work :)

Pet care experience

I've always had a special bond with animals and had a passion for working with them. I lost my 14 1/2 year old chihuahua (my sidekick) in January 2021, but I had her since she was 4 months old. My husband and I currently have 7 cats of our own, who we love like they’re our children. I've volunteered at animal shelters, Petsmart, and used to bring home any animal my family would allow me :) I've pet sit for family, friends and neighbors since I was 13, as well as working through Rover off and on over the last few years. Anything from checking in on pets and making sure there is food and water, stopping by for a play session, staying for a week+, walks, playing outside, administering oral medications. There is just a special relationship between people and animals that I love.

Lori was outstanding!!! Fen had the BEST time and we were able to enjoy being away knowing she was taking such good care of Fen! She went well beyond good care- she gave us great care and attention.

Lori was great with our 2 dogs. They were a little nervous when we left and after a couple of visits from Lori, they settled back down and enjoyed her visits. I would highly recommend Lori for taking excellent care of your loved pets.

I enjoyed meeting Lori, and she was an excellent petsitter. Lori was very accommodating to adjusting her schedule to meet my needs. She communicated regularly with updates and pictures detailing the wellbeing of my pets. I will definitely contact Lori when an occasion arises for a dog sitter. My home was neat and tidy when I returned from my trip, and I appreciated that Lori kept it clean. Lori developed an affectionate relationship with my dogs, and I felt that they were safe and well cared for in my absence.

Safety, trust & environment

I haven’t had animals stay in my home yet, but when I’ve fostered, I keep the new cat separated from ours in a different room, so I could do the same if I’m boarding. I’m also very cautious that they don’t get outside or get into anything harmful.

Information Lori M. would like to know about your pet

I have no breed preferences. I love all different kinds of dogs! I do like to know the personality of the dog - active, playful, people friendly and sociable, prefers to be alone, just needs company and love. The more I know about what the dog prefers, the better I can take care of them and interact with them.

A typical day

Every dog is different, but I enjoy taking dogs for walks, playing in the backyard, and love cuddling with both big and little dogs :) I also love helping them burn off some energy by playing outside with toys and running around playing chase.
