Lori is very responsive and cares for pets. She is very knowledgeable on taking care of cats. She showed up on time and fed our cat when we were out of town.

Lori was absolutely amazing. I was away visiting family when I had an emergency - 5 cats and kittens needing to be cared for and my husband who was taking care of them went to Stanford ER and was kept overnight. I reached out late East Coast time and Lori contacted me immediately and went to my house right after to care for the kittens even though it was late on a Saturday night. She agreed to come three times a day as the kittens need to be fed frequently. When I arrived home from my trip not only were all the cats well fed and litter boxes scooped she had trimmed their nails and swept the floor. And I think she spent extra time with them over and above the basics. Besides that Lori has a wonderful warm caring personality and the first time she called me to let me know she had been able to get into the house and all was well. Can't imagine how one could do better than Lori if you need help with your pet companions!

I reached out to Lori just before Labor Day weekend because our original pet sitter had canceled on short notice. Even though it was late in the evening she was very responsive and trying to find a solution for our pets. She was also considering her planned visits to other households and how she may fit us in without overcommitting - a great sign of responsibility vs. just taking on more work. While we eventually found help in the neighborhood and didn't end up working with Lori, I was impressed by her professionalism and responsiveness. I'm very much looking forward to working with her in the future.

We couldn't have asked for a more pleasant experience working with Lori. She came on our agreed upon days to take care of our 2 cats, Tate and Taro. The photos & text msgs from her were appreciated, and we always felt our pets were in good hands. She offers good value, is easy to talk to, and has the nicest personality. Lori is our 1st choice next time we need a pet sitter!

FAQs

• What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

  I am affordable and worth my fee. The price estimates are typically for 1 pet. I don’t charge extra fees for simple requests and long term stays may be given a discount.

• What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

  Ask questions (phone and in person consultation) to be sure I am the best choice for their job. A provider shouldn’t be afraid to tell a customer that a better fit may be available. I want clients to feel we have the same beliefs and style in care giving for animals such as positive reinforcement.

• What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

  Apprenticeship with experienced providers. Continued education & research. Over a decade of experience.
