Pet care experience

Calm, Professional & Insured Care

Hi, I’m Lourie! I offer calm, compassionate, and dependable care for your pets—because to me, they’re family. With decades of experience and a genuine love for animals, I’m here to give your furry friend the same love and attention you would. After 20+ years in the corporate world, I followed my heart and began working with animals. I've spent years pet sitting for friends, family, and colleagues, and I now work with a local dog rescue and serve as secretary for a local animal welfare nonprofit. I have a soft spot for senior pets and animals who need a little extra patience, but I also enjoy helping energetic pups and kittens burn off energy and build confidence. I’m comfortable giving medications, maintaining routines, and tailoring care to your pet’s unique needs. Whether it’s a short drop-in, a long walk, or overnight care, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and happy while you're away. Let’s connect—I’d love to meet you and your pet!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I provide personalized overnight care in your home, where pets feel most secure in their familiar environment and routine. Staying in their own space allows for a calm, low-stress experience while you’re away. I take a thoughtful, attentive approach to each visit, ensuring your pet feels safe, relaxed, and well cared for at all times. I’m respectful of your home and routines, and I prioritize clear communication so you always feel informed and at ease. I’m happy to work with you to create a customized care plan that aligns with your pet’s needs and your preferences.

Thank you for taking such great care of Mav! He really loves his park walks and his belly rubs! I was surprised he wanted to go to the beach, but then I remembered that he also loves rolling in the seaweed on shore. Thank you again!

Schedule

I work remotely with a local dog rescue, so caring for animals is a natural part of my daily life. This allows me to maintain a consistent, attentive presence and provide reliable care for walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays. I intentionally keep my schedule balanced to ensure each pet receives calm, focused attention without feeling rushed or overlooked. I place a strong emphasis on maintaining routines, helping pets feel secure, comfortable, and at ease while you’re away.

It’s important to me to understand your pet’s needs and routine in detail so I can provide the highest level of care. Prior to our first visit, I’ll gather information about their daily schedule, preferences, and any specific instructions you’d like me to follow. Please let me know if your pet has any medical needs, medications, or special considerations. Guidance on what helps them feel comfortable—such as favorite toys, routines, or techniques that work well—is always appreciated. I also like to be aware of any behavioral tendencies, including reactivity, sensitivities, or handling preferences, so I can approach each interaction safely and thoughtfully. The more I know, the better I can provide calm, consistent care and ensure your pet feels secure, comfortable, and at ease while you’re away. I’m always happy to adapt my approach to meet your pet exactly where they are.
