Pet care experience

Dogs are like family members

***I have a fenced yard*** My son Mason and I have had dogs our entire lives. Grew up with German Shepard's. Dogs are like family. I am also retired US Air Force and have worked with working dogs as well. I love caring for dogs they all have beautiful personalities. I have an fenced yard. Our home is dog-friendly meaning dogs are allowed on all furniture. Please provide a crate if you wish for your dog to be crated overnight. We will walk trails and visit the beach and board walk areas. We like to visit Gray's Road Dog Park near Prince Frederick for plenty of exercise. So we have plenty of activity options. I will provide a safe, loving environment for your fur-babies. I am home full time during the day. You will need to provide a crate for your pet. The longest the dogs would be crated would be 2-4 hours during the day. Your pet will receive playtime prior to being crated. We make trips to the dog park to provide social and playtime during the day. My 19 year old son also will assist with any pets that are boarded. We love having fur friends over for visits with my dog. I am flexible with drop off and pick up however prefer early morning or after 4pm for drop off and pick ups. I have one dog at home so your fur baby would have someone to play with. Walking is done multiple times a day for exercise.

Lori and Mason were very communicative, sent a good number of pictures, and when I went to pick up Ralphie he didn’t want to leave! Thank you for the last minute, save the day, care for my doggy!

It all started out well. Lori seems great and is communicative with updates and pics. But the day of pickup, I arrived at the house and was met by her young adult son. The house had an interesting smell and my dog was howl-crying and jumping onto and over furniture and entirely unable to focus to sit and get harnessed. I’ve never seen this behavior in the nearly 2 years we’ve had her. She whined and moaned the whole trip home with her eyes wide, and self-crated as soon as we walked into our home. She was just out of it. She wide-eyed stared at the floor and moaned for quite a while until she finally went to sleep. My dog definitely seemed high and I was tracking her symptoms all night until she was calmer and seeming more like herself again. I’m not cool with that at all.

Once again Lori did great, consistent updates with photos, we will definitely have her watch Cooper again. I'll upload a video next time of how excited Cooper was on the way over to her house.

Lori and her son, Mason, continue to always take great care of our Dolly! Whether it's allowing her to settle in, be their shadow, get extra time, and some love...they always come through in a big way! I always appreciate the photos and updates on how she's doing.

Lori was great, she was very patient with Cooper, and kept us updated with pictures of how he was doing. I highly recommend her as a dog sitter for your fur family.

Lori is always amazing! We love having our dog stay with her when we can’t take him with us. We always know he will be well loved and taken care of!
