Pets are the highlight of my day!

Pet care experience

I strive to provide the best companionship for your dog (or cat!) while offering affordable rates compared to the kennels and chain companies. *Rover takes 20% out of my fee, which covers premium insurance for you and your pet, and site/app maintenance.* I love taking photos of your pets with my nice camera - I often spend a lot of time doing photo shoots, trying to capture your pet’s personality in the perfect photo! I’m proud to say that a few clients have printed and framed my photos and used them on holiday cards. :) About the husky on my profile, Koda: My mom adopted him a few years ago and he's the light of our lives!! She uses him to get me to visit. (It works.) I made him a profile here for when she needs help booking a sitter.

So nice to be able to take a few days away and know that Lori will come stay with our cats. It makes the vacation even more fun with peace of mind. You’re in great hands if you can get Lori scheduled with you!!

Lori was fantastic! My, then, fiancé and I were traveling to SW FL to get married, and I was already a nervous bride! To leave my fur babies alone with someone new, gave me a bit of anxiety, but the minute I met Lori, I had a good feeling. She sent pics everyday of the pups. She was respectful of our pets and our home. Both dogs appeared to adore her, which definitely set me at ease and gave me very little, if any reason to worry while I was concentrating on my wedding. Couldn’t be more pleased! I told Lori that I’d hire her again, without any hesitation. She was truly a life savor and a real animal lover. Honestly couldn’t have picked a better person. Thank you, Rover, and thank you, Lori!

Our two cats loved spending time at our home with Lori! She took such good care of them, cuddled with them and sent us pictures often. She was a lovely houseguest and took wonderful care of our home and our pets! We’re looking forward to being frequent, repeat clients of Lori’s.

Lori was awesome! She was very professional and took excellent care of my dog who recently had surgery. Lori kept me updated during the stay and sent photos. I would highly recommended and plan on using her again.

Safety, trust & environment

I actually only do home sittings, since our 2 old cats would freak out if we brought home another animal. And I believe that pets are always more comfortable and relaxed while you're away if they get to stay at their home. :)

Information Lori W. would like to know about your pet

Any medical routines I should know about? Are your pets face lickers? Bed sleepers? Reincarnations of hellspawn? I want to know all of their cute quirks!

A typical day

Leisurely walks around the neighborhood or throwing a ball in the backyard, snuggling at home, playing with pull toys, practicing tricks... these are a few of my favorite things! I actually think picking up poop is kind of fun, and am a self-taught dog masseuse (our last husky needed it in his old age). If your dog could talk, he'd be like, "When is Lori coming over again?"
