About Lori

I got my dog Daisy 8 years ago while volunteering at Tweed pound and I have a long history of both working and volunteering at animal shelters and rescues. I live on a quiet and picturesque rural property in the Tweed Valley outside Murwillumbah that has also been home to chickens and cockatiels. The property is certified as Land for Wildlife by the NSW government so I have a track record of caring for and about both pets and wildlife. I love animals of all kinds.

My motivation for being a pet sitter is earning a bit of extra money doing something I enjoy while also giving Daisy the companionship of other pets (we're happy to host dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, guinea pigs, etc.) without having another full-time pet of my own. I walk and play with Daisy twice a day anyway so having another dog with us would be easy and fun. We'd love to hear from you and are happy to answer any questions you may have.

I work from home so Daisy and I will be with your pet all day during the week. On the weekends your pet will not be left alone for more than three hours. Mostly, your pet will be supervised 24x7.

I have full availability and am home for all holidays.

Pick up and drop off offered subject to location and availability.

I am very experienced with working with pound and rescue dogs (Daisy came from the Tweed pound) so I can offer some basic training for your dog (leash training and basic commands).

I've also had two cockatiels and chickens so I'm comfortable with handling birds as well.

I have two outdoor enclosures on the property that would work well for rabbits and guinea pigs during the day. (See the photos of the large aviary and the small octoganol enclosure with a large tree in the middle.)

I won't board more than two dogs at a time so there will be a maximum of three dogs (which includes Daisy) in the household at any given time. Daisy sleeps in the bedroom with me on her own bed so I would bring your dog's bed into the room with us at night.

I walk Daisy a minimum of half an hour in the morning and 45 minutes in the afternoon so your dog will be on the same schedule. Two walks per day. We walk at beautiful Crystal Creek, outside Murwillumbah.

My household consists of Daisy and myself, no other pets. She mostly loves other dogs but particularly likes small and medium dogs. Sometimes she is afraid of large dogs so if you have a large dog, we'd definitely need to do a meet and greet.

We have fencing and Daisy is able to stay outside on her own if she wants. She comes in and out during the day.

Regarding home visits, if I am able to bring Daisy, I'm happy to visit your home for 1-2 hours. If I'm not able to bring Daisy, I could visit for up to an hour. I'd be happy to bring the mail in and water plants in that time.

Dog Boarding

Kyndall, 2024-10-27

So happy we found Lori on this app. It was our first time leaving our 2 dogs with a person we did not know, so I was very anxious about it, but Lori made us feel at ease the moment we met her. Daisy + Milo took a liking to her and her companion Daisy instantly. A beautiful yard and home. Lori’s communication before and during the boarding was brilliant. Very happy with our decision to go with Lori. Could not recommend her and Daisy enough. So glad to have found someone we know will look after our babies whenever we go away! Thanks so much Lori + Daisy! 🌼

+20 years of experience

Familiar with dog training techniques

I have worked and volunteered at several rescues and shelters both in Australia and overseas. Thus, I’ve been exposed to many dogs that have high care needs and those who need training. Working with dogs who require understanding and patience is my specialty. Your dog will feel safe and cared for with me. If you have birds, I’ve lived with chickens and cockatiels so I’m also very comfortable handling birds and caring for them.
