We love animals

Pet care experience

*We (My wife and I) are animal affectionados. Currently we have two dog, who was a rescue named Kaikai & Scruffles (just adopted 5/27/18). KaiKai is a pekinese/spaniel mix who has a great mellow personality. Scruffles is a prince and needs special treatment since he's only 6 lbs! We have had 2 cats in the past who have unfortunately since passed. So our dogs are cat friendly. *We live in a house and have a fenced back yard for your dog and we have dogs sleep in the house not in a garage or dog house. We have a doggie door that dogs can go out as they please to the backyard. They are after all a part of the family! *We only house one dog at a time so we can give 100% of our attention to your pet. We will also walk your dog with our dogs twice a day. *We want you to enjoy your time away and not worry about your pet and would love having your friendly companion over! *We would only have your pet over when a person is in the house to supervise them. They would NOT be in the house by themselves. Therefore we have very limited availability as we want to provide the very best care only. We can only house dogs that get along with our dog and are indifferent or are not children aggressive. We can only house dogs that are house trained meaning they don't go to the bathroom in the house. We have our own home and pretty decent size yard so we will make sure your pets feel welcomed with us. We also have a dog door so your dog can come and go as he pleases. We only dog sit your dog one at a time/ no other dogs will be here besides yours and our 1 dog. Meet and greets are essential to make sure we are a good fit. About this sitter: I am a Dog owner. Please also review: https://www.rover.com/community/question/1192/how-do-i-know-i-can-trust-these-sitters-and-how-do-i-know-they-will-take-care-of-my-furbabies/ In addition, it's not all about the "price". The correct fit and a comfortable environment for your pets is the most important consideration. Please note if you are NEW to our services, we do require you to stop by with your dog for a meet and greet to make sure we are a good fit. We would love to know: When you get the chance, do you mind answering the following questions? We can also talk about them over the phone. Will you provide food? Bowls? What is your dog's feeding schedule? Does your dog have allergies? Is your dog microchipped? Does your dog bark frequently? What usually triggers it? Does your dog get along with other dogs? with cats? with kids? with other people? Do you allow your dog on beds/furniture? Is it okay to bring your dog to a park or dog park? To the beach? On hikes? Does your dog do okay in the car during car rides? When we need to leave the house (typically no more than 2 hours at a time), how should we leave your pup? How well does your pup respond to being left alone? Does your dog need to be crated?

Lorina and her family awesome, they’re great with our Milo, he’s always tired and happy, he doesn’t even want to go home afterwards 😅 would definitely board with Lorina again! Highly recommended!

Lorina and her family are super warm and welcoming, as well as her two older dogs. Throughout the stay (overnight boarding), Lorina always sends lots of pictures and updates, and let me know how my pup is acclimating to her home. Their backyard is also very cleverly designed, with a neat lawn and doggy door for the doggos to go in and out for potty. Moji never used a doggy door before but picked it up super quickly. I have no concerns at all leaving Moji in the hands of Lorina and family, and we also did a meet and great at first to ensure all the doggies get along. I think this is an ideal boarding option for small/mid sized dogs. The family also took my pup on a long walk the next day and Moji was very tired by the time he gets home. He’s now taking a long and satisfying nap. Thanks Lorina and family!!

Lorina and Jim took pictures of Maximus so that we knew he was doing well. Maximus always came back to us happy and untraumatized. What's great is that they adore our dog so we know he is well taken care of when we are gone.

Information Lorina L. would like to know about your pet

Does your dog have special needs or habits? Will your dog be anxious when people are not around? Does your dog have a special toy, bed, or treat to help him feel comfortable during his stay? How often does your dog need to be combed? What is your dog's schedule? Does your dog have any allergies?

A typical day

We love walking around our neighborhood and there are open fields near an elementary school. So we like having the dogs off leash there to run around and burn off some energy.
