Pet care experience

Lifelong Caregiver and Pet Lover!

Hello and thanks for visiting! I love spending time with animals. I grew up in a house with cats and dogs and have been a cat and dog parent all of my adult life. Recently I made a commitment to rescue a dog recognizing I had the time to devote to her training and rehabilitation and the experience has been truly transformational. Working with trainers has given me a lot of tips, tools, strategies and confidence to understand dog behaviour and be better responsive to their needs. I have also volunteered to rescue abandoned cats. I am physically active and enjoy walking and/or running with dogs as part of my daily routine. I am also happy to chill with pets in their home environment and play games to give them cognitive stimulation and/or cuddles depending on the goals you identify for our visit. I am committed to keeping your pet safe and happy and to keep you updated as well as I know how important communication is to giving peace of mind.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I like to meet with pets prior to the first visit to allow them to become familiar with me and begin building trust and rapport. At this time it’s helpful for me to know any communication or behavioural concerns and or triggers, medical or functional concerns, energy level, food/diet restrictions, favorite things and routines.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Lori made sure my cat was very well loved during the holiday season while I was away! The pictures and summaries were an amazing treat and I felt confident in her ability:)

Lori has taken excellent care of our senior cat Pinkie over multiple different occasions when we have been out of town! She adapted to Pinkie’s many different quirks and sent us regular (adorable) updates with photos. She is always making sure to give Pinkie lots of love and attention during her visits. I know my sweet little lady is in good hands with Lori.

Lori was absolutely lovely! My cat adored her and the messages and photos she sent were so comforting! She clearly adores animals and is great at making them feel safe and happy even while their owners are away — thank you Lori!

I am committed to being responsive to your dog’s/cat’s physical and emotional needs to keep them happy and safe. It’s helpful for me to know your pet’s preferences as well as their fears and any triggers or any behavioural concerns. For dogs, I would like to know if they feel comfortable pausing to meet other dogs on walks, or any reactivity and strategies that have worked to help bring calm. I am also happy to continue working on any training routines during our time together.
