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 great!! She took care of my cat and my girlfriend’s cat for 4 days on very short notice. Before our trip, Lori came to our homes, met our cats, and took detailed notes on all our care requests. We will certainly use her services again!
