Boarding in My Safe, Dog Friendly H
Pet care experience
I provide a safe and caring environment for your pets. I have been pet sitting for over 15 years and I have worked in the pet industry for over 25 years. I have a pet friendly home and strive to make your pets stay a comfy as being in their own home. Dogs sleep in beds in my house and play in the yard and bring in muddy paw prints. I typically board no more than 3 at a time unless they are from the same home. Your pet will feel more comfortable with less pets in the home. I also find it is much easier to stick to the pets parent's rules if there are less dogs to accommodate (like feeding instructions, treat restrictions, crate training and so on) My dog, Dave, passed away a few years ago. While I'm not ready to commit to another dog just yet (Dave was one in a million) I truly enjoy spending time with my "guests". I welcome and am experienced with senior dogs and puppies and everything in between. I also have plenty of experience with dogs that are skiddish, reserved toward strangers, food aggression, separation anxiety etc. My goal is to make your dog feel at home my our home!!
Reviews
Lorrie did an amazing job with atlas and took great care of him while I was away. I would definitely use her again and trust that my dog will be looked after and cared for properly. She sent pictures and gave updates everyday which made me feel even more at ease.
Lorrie watched my two pups for 4 days the second week of April. It was apparent from our initial meeting in March that she really loves animals and that she knows her stuff. Lorrie indicated that her previous career was a veterinary technician for many years, which put my mind at ease. Her home is set up perfectly to attend to the needs of the dogs in her care. The home features a large, fenced in yard which allows dogs to get their outdoor time several times a day. She sent me daily text updates which included photos of my dogs. Being 600 miles away, the daily updates were very much appreciated. When I picked up my pups they were happy, healthy and they both gave her farewell kisses. Nice! I highly recommend Lorrie to anyone considering a pet sitter while you are out of town.
Lorrie is a dog whisperer of any breed, age, temperament, you name it. She adores your dog like her own. She really is a gift and I wish I could gatekeep her for myself/my dog only. My anxious pup fell in love with her within 1 daycare sesh and I couldn’t be more relieved to leave her for our upcoming vacation.
Lorrie was amazing. My senior toy poodle was in dog heaven. She took care of him like he was her baby. ! Already booked out next stay.
