Experienced caretake of all animals

Pet care experience

Hi there! I'm a local small business owner and have always been a huge animal advocate/lover. My life has been filled with pets at all times, wether it be dogs, horses, cats, birds, fish, reptiles, -you name it. As a former service animal owner, I have great experience with training, administering medication, grooming, and all forms of exercise. I'm also a professional pet photographer going on 9 years, working with horses and dogs specifically which has allowed advanced diverse experience handling and working with hundreds of various animals of all shapes, sizes, needs and personalities, in many different environments and circumstances. I am confident in reading body language, recognizing signs of stress or illness, and handling emergency situations. Additionally, I have separated dogs when the unfortunate event of a fight broke out and know how to avoid attacks. Being a holistic wellness teacher, I always have natural pet-safe solutions on hand in the case of a small injury, cut, or scrape. I have years of experience as a responsible and reliable pet caretaker. I'm a sucker for all animals so you can rest assured I will love yours like my own! I'm unable to have pets at this time in my life so being able to dog walk or pet sit bring me a lot of joy. I will take time to get to know your pets unique personality, needs, preferences, and interests so they have the most fun, stay safe, and are perfectly cared for! I have done lots of overnight pet sitting as well. I’ve owned or done long-term care for dogs of all sizes such as King Corso’s, German Shepherds, Teacup Pomeranian’s, Morkies, Pitbulls, Labradoodles, etc.

Lorien has always been a reliable caretaker of my pets, stepping in almost every time I go out of town. She's fed my fish, walked and played with my dog, and kept my kitten's space clean. She's responsible and genuinely likes to be with animals, and all my animals also like to be with her!

I have witnessed Lorien in action with numerous dogs of various breeds and temperaments, and I am always impressed by how naturally she is gifted when it comes to working with dogs. Her innate ability to understand and connect with dogs on a deep level is truly remarkable. My dog, in particular, struggles with submissive peeing, which is why he wears diapers and often develops diaper rash. Lorien was always diligent in applying ointment and ensuring his comfort. I highly recommend her!

Lorien stayed at my home for almost 2 whole weeks watching my dog Zeus. I have never had a better experience with a dog sitter. When I first met Lorien, she was so sweet and kind, I instantly felt that I could trust her in my home and with my baby! My dog instantly loved her! And dogs truly do feel energy so that says a lot. what I also appreciated was she also had the assertiveness to work with him. I have a big cane corso and he’s a bit of a hand full! I know with her background with horses, that probably helps a bit lol. Lorien kept my house spotless and my dog seemed happier when I came back than when I left! She sent pictures and communicated the entire time. She gave him his baths and went the extra mile with him everyday! I can’t say enough good things! 100% recommend and now Lorien still comes when ever I have to go out of town for work.

Safety, trust & environment

For in-home services, I will always be mindful of safety in your home. Wether that be ensuring doors and gates stay closed, trash cans and food are properly secure, toys or bones are used with intention and caution, etc. I will make sure to get all of the info needed to know your pets unique needs, where your pet can/cannot go, and to supervise them at all times if they aren't okay to be alone.

Information Lorien H. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs, medical/health conditions, is on medications, or experiences any agression/anxiety with other humans or animals. It’s also important for me to know if your dog has ever ran away or tends to do so, and if they have any allergies. Lastly, I’d love to know all about your pets personality, favorite treats, toys, and activities!

A typical day

A day with your dog will always start with fresh air, food, and exercise! Whether that be a walk or playing fetch at the park/yard/beach. My first priority is giving them lots of love and ensuring they have fun, while being safe. We will play games or I will entertain them with toys and time outside. If they have a special meal routine, I’ll be happy to go through that thoroughly.
