OVERNIGHT AND DAYCARE

What Sets Us Apart from the Rest?

Many don't realize that that there are options to caging your dog in small kennel while you are away on vacation. One of these options is Tante Lori when 30-60 minute pet sitting visits to your home are not enough. I bring many years of successful experience (read more of my history) to the care of pets.

Our clients, your dog(s), reside with us and have the same freedoms and attention as our own pets. They have free access to the entire house, yard, and our hearts. Each client becomes a normal part of our lives here at Tante Lori's and are rarely left alone. We take an average maximum of 3 dogs at a time so there is always plenty of love and attention to go around.

Some dogs enjoy the smells, sounds, and sun or snow in the backyard. Others may enjoy snuggling on a couch or keeping guard at the front window. Your dog may want to sit on a lap or simply be by someone’s side all day. Most dogs just need other dogs to chat with. At Tante Lori's they get all that and more. Also, keep in mind that dogs are most at ease when there is structure in their lives so we keep to a simple routine each day to relieve stress and separation anxiety.

Mixing of Pets: Once decided, rather quickly I might add, all of the pets find their places in the current pack and relax. Some become friends and others just go off and do their own thing. Some like to cuddle with other pets and others like a calm quiet place to themselves. We allow all dogs in their own individual ways, to find their place.

What is a typical day like?

6:00am-6:30am
Depending on when the first dog wakes up, we ALL go out to pee and poo. A small treat is the reward as they come back in and we try to take a nap for another hour or two.

8:00am or so
Pee break out back and then breakfast.

8:30am to 1:00pm
Half-hour after breakfast we all relax to let food settle then it’s play, sunbathe, cuddle, watch out windows, etc ., etc… you know … doggy stuff. It's my time for coffee and newspaper.

1:00pm – 3:00pm
Naptime for everyone. This is a natural habit for dogs of which I reinforce. It’s good for their health and good for me too LOL. I bring everyone inside, each dog picks their favorite place and it’s snooze time for up to 2 hours.
