Lori took care of our dog at our home for 9 days. She sent pictures pretty well every day and we felt confident that our little Baz was being well taken care of. She took him on some fun adventures, and he got a lot of cuddles and attention. Lori is very friendly and it was nice to receive her messages saying how much she was enjoying spending time with Baz while we were away :)

Lori is an amazing pet sitter, and Oscar truly loves his "Auntie Lori." She is incredibly reliable and a great communicator, always keeping us updated. Lori goes above and beyond to provide the best days ever with great walks, lots of playtime, and endless love. Receiving fun photo updates warmed our hearts and gave us total peace of mind. We are so happy Oscar has Auntie Lori in his life! Carol, Andy, and Oscar

Auntie Lori was great with our little dude Oscar. She played ball with him until she started to have a Popeye arm!! Oscar was cuddling beside Lori, looking very content when we got home. We'll definitely use Lori's services again, and in fact she's already booked with us for a couple more stays. Carol, Andy, and Oscar

Lori was fantastic!! She was super responsive and communicative before housesitting for us. If you have an anxious dog that you are worried about, you can rest assured that Lori will be kind and patient, and give your dogs a great time. She followed all of our routines, adapted to the weather, took them on adventures, and best of all sent updates and pictures throughout the weekend. The dogs love Aunt Lori, and we look forward to having her stay again!

Lori did a wonderful job keeping our 3 (large) furry babies calm and relaxed in unfamiliar surroundings for them. Would highly recommend her and would use her again. Thank you.

We booked Lori to watch our pets/house sit for part of a vacation that we had booked. We had another sitter booked who needed to cancel close to, so we were in a bit of a time crunch. We appreciated Lori’s quick response and willingness to meet up for a meet and greet last minute. Lori is very kind and seemed to really enjoy our pets which was nice. We left detailed instructions in our care instructions as well as written instructions at home with relevant info about each of our pets and house, and she did not have any questions about anything. The stay went well and we came home to healthy pets and a very clean home. However, we did find that Lori wasn’t super communicative during our time away. We did not hear anything from Lori other than her letting us know she had arrived, and the only other communication was received after we had prompted her. The update was brief, just indicating the animals were all okay, and only included photos of 2/3 pets. We did also notice from our ring camera that she also did not take our dog on the requested daily walks, which is disappointing as she is a high energy golden retriever and needs quite a lot of exercise. I had let Lori know about the daily walks during the meet and greet and she did say she could do that, but did not follow through or let us know she was unable to take her for her walks. However, Lori did say that she had spent the day outside in our yard with her which is nice. Despite that, we were still disappointed with the lack of communication, including not letting us know her planned departure time which ended up leaving our pup home for a bit longer than we had wanted. We had requested a departure time between 5-7pm on the booking to plan around our return time as our flight was in later that evening, and she ended up leaving by 4:30pm so our pets were fed dinner and given her medication much earlier than their usual time and left longer than we had liked. We didn’t know that she was leaving at this time because this was not communicated ahead of time. Overall, we are content with how our pets and house were taken care of during her time here and are happy our home and pets were well taken care of overall.
