About
PET SITTING & WEEKDAY AFTERNOON DOG WALKING My name is Lori. I am a professional pet sitter and dog walker with 16 years of experience. I love caring for companion animals, and have been a pet parent myself for multiple decades. I offer responsible and dependable care while giving your furry family member(s) the attention needed to stay relaxed and happy at home. Prior to pet sitting, I enjoyed a long career as a sales professional in the Tech and Medical industries. I look forward to keeping your pets and home safe and well cared for. You will be updated with texts and photos as desired during my visits.

Lori was great! She checked in on my kitties when we were gone for two weeks, which is longer than we are usually away. He came back and they were happy and eating well. She also took care of a few extras, like watering my plants, refilling the hummingbird feeder, and grabbing our mail.

Lori was extremely quick to respond and coordinated very well with us when she dog walked for us. She took good care of our dog, fed and walked him, sent us timely pictures and updates when we were out of town. Thank you, appreciate your help. Would totally recommend her services.

Lori has stayed with our pups a few times now, and each time has been great. We have two large dogs, and Lori does a great job taking care of them. Everything from taking them on multiple walks, playing ball, and snuggling with them, our boys love when she comes to stay. She is very responsive, attentive, and reliable. We highly recommend Lori!

From the moment my dog, Charlie, met Lori, I knew she was an experienced dog handler. Charlie was being the furious guard dog and Lori immediately sat down to be at his level. She let him sniff her until he was content, then they became friends. Lori now walks Charlie 🐶

Details: 1 dog • 2 - 10 years old • Small (16 - 25 lbs) • 30 minutes (standard) • No preference • My home, venue, etc.
