Pet care experience

My kids have paws

I've taken care of 14 dogs and 4 cats of my own from ages 3 years to senior. Now all deceased (pics are on this web page under "your pets") has afforded me to take care of your furry kids. I am well versed in medications regimes and specialty foods. I have been through major surgeries with my pets as well. A few resources I've used: Books: Forever dog author Becker and Habib. My favorite pet wellness people: Karen Becker DVM and Rodney Habib Trainers: Brandon McMillan and Cesear Milan Filer Idaho has a great natural herbalist Dr.Jones where you can find herbs for your pets you can also speak to Dr. Jones in person at his herbal shop.

Absolutely the best experience in leaving my two babies! It is so hard to find someone who truly loves and cares for them. My biggest worry was if they would want to come back home with me! Lori goes way above and beyond in caring for them- she is truly the very best of the best! I am truly grateful there are still such amazing people out there who truly love our little furry babies! So very grateful!

We really appreciate Lori and her husbands great care in taking care of our dog while away. We were able to enjoy our trip and not worry about Archie. We knew he was being well cared for, we also appreciated the many pictures and updates of how things were going.

Safety, trust & environment

Boarding at my home: I have an XL dog door with a ramp (this helps senior dogs or any dog that may have orthopedic issues) right into our BIG back yard where the dogs can do there zoomies, play in the kiddie pool or water mat in the summer. They will stay hydrated well with our XL stainless steel water bowl. Fully fenced backyard all grass no ROCKS. Drop in's to your home if you choose: Hoping that you have a dog door if not I will take the dog (s) out for walks as well as play with them. (I come equip with lick-it mats and treat balls etc).

A typical day

I love to stimulate your dog(s) or cat(s) physically and mentally. Playing ball, Frisbee, lick-it mats treat balls and even a nice neighborhood walk weather permitting of course. Cats treats, toys, scratch bowls or poles or catnip!
