Pet care experience
Animals are my life! I pet sit for those who want their dogs and cats (or any other furry, feathered or scaled critter) loved like they were my own. I guarantee your pet will love me too! I am an experienced caregiver, animal photographer, trainer, and animal health care provider. My years of experience with animals and my high standards of care are what sets me apart. All my life dogs, cats and horses have been a part of my family. I have been rescuing, fostering and petsitting for years. I've worked as an animal caregiver at animal sanctuaries and rescues and I can administer medicine, shots, and emergency care, in addition to tons of love! For several years, I had my own boarding and day care business in San Francisco. But during Covid, I ended up moving to New York and now back in Santa Monica where I had lived for years previously. I don't have a place to have dogs and cats come to me right now, but I can come to them! I do drop-in visits, dog walks, as well as overnights/house sitting. (For overnight stays, I would need my 10-pound dog, Jazzy, to come with me.) Whether you need kitty play time or doggy walk time, feeding or loving, I'll be there to comfort your pet. I'm also a pet photographer, so expect great photos of your baby while you're gone. I work freelance, so my schedule is pretty open. As long as I can easily get to your house, I'll be there...on time and ready to play with your fur babies. Not offering pets in my home at the moment. But I will come to your home and feed, play and walk your dog...whatever they need.
Reviews
Lori is amazing. She helped me get my stubborn pup to walk by taking a genuine interest in her and thinking creatively about how to make walks more enjoyable for her. She is great at communication and my dog loves her. Recommend her 100%!
Lori was so great and empathetic to Birdie who can be very shy and sensitive when meeting new people. Birdie opened up to her quickly and she was so attentive to her feeding schedule and care!
Lori came over to give my dog sub q fluids for kidney disease. She is great with dogs and very knowledgeable.
Lori seems too good to be true - but she really is that perfect! I had an emergency trip out of town and was worried about my rather codependent kitty. Lori was so kind from first communication and very thorough to ensure the best experience for all. She sends many (very impressive quality!!) videos and photos - it was so apparent how happy my cat was to spend time with her. Her experience with animals shines right through (my cat has very strange temperament, she knew exactly how to handle it) and I could not feel more secure if I tried. As a side note, the system incorrectly calculated my total which I did not notice - Lori noticed and took the time and effort to correct it, which just speaks volumes about her character. If Lori is available and you want to ensure your pet is in responsible, loving, and experienced hands - you have to have her! + the morality. Would rate over 5 if possible.
About Lori W.
Communication
Skills
Information Lori W. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know your dog or cat's personality and the little quirks, such as things that scare her/him or special things they like to do or eat. Do they experience separation anxiety? Do they need to be fed in a separate room? I need to know if they have health issues, or are on meds. I'm happy to administer medicines. I have worked as a vet tech before, so I can do pills, liquids and shots.
A typical day
Whatever your pet likes or needs. Feeding, play, love, walks, photographs, and even light training. I will love your pet and keep them safe, happy and healthy.
