Hello.. I am Lori Roche an immigrant from San Francisco California!

Back in 2006 I met and fell inlove with my hubby, Marc. Today I live my life passion of caring for pets.

We are blessed with 2 pets. Our our sweet little pooch, Ziggy, and big kitty, Bubba.

Previously we had two chinese crested dogs, Maggie and Jasmine, and a kitty, Buster, who all warmed our home. They have since passed on to the winds in the sky and they live in our hearts every day.

How did I get here to lovely Aylmer Quebec doing what I love?

I grew up in Denver Colorado. My love for pets of all kinds began in my childhood.

DOGS: My favorite dog was Gypsy who was so loyal and loving. However, no matter how hard we tried, we could not keep her in our yard when it was breeding time. She lived 13 years. Gypsy had puppies every year. Back then no one thought of it being abnormal. As a child growing up, I gladly took on the responsibility of caring for her and her puppies. I loved it and learned so much. There is nothing more sweet and innocent as "puppy breath".

CATS: Along with my dogs and puppies we had Siamese cats. To this day I have a big soft spot for Siamese.

FISH: We also had tanks full of simple fresh water fish. We even had a Newt lizard in our tank that always was escaping. But no fear, we kept finging him before he dried out.

MICE: Lastly, I fondly remember the mice colony that lived under my Dad's shed in the backyard. Our cats would bring them in the house and we'd sweep them back outside to live another day. Once a mouse got stuck in our dog's water bowl outside and we brought it in, warmed it up and let it loose back under the shed. Another time I found newborn mice in a storage box in the shed. I placed them in a tiny box at the entrance of of their their tunnels and shortly thereafter the babies gone and that entrance was plugged up by the mice. I remember that ifound amazing that even the tiniest animals love their babies.

Animals are treasures to behold!

YEAR 2003-2006--Tail Wagging Pet Services - San Francisco

Later on in life I lived in San Francisco. My partner and I left the "corporate rat race" and began our own pet service business for 4 years between 2003 and 2006 .

I am very thankful for the prior 20 years that I spent in the office world. That is when I acquired skills in administration, bookkeeping, marketing, website design, customer service, advertising, writing, etc. All these skills enabled me to manage and run our business with ease.

Did you know that at that time, San Francisco had more dogs per person than anywhere else in the world? It was a great place to get started. We offered dog boarding and daycare, pet sitting, and dog walking. The business took off like wildfire and at the end of 4 years we were a great success. Unfortunately, divorce broke us up and the business dissolved along with it.

YEAR 2013-2014 -Chez Tante Lori Dog Boarding & Daycare

After the breakup I met Marc here in Aylmer Quebec and we were married in late 2007. I always dreamed of reopening my dog business and that day came true when we started my business here on August 2013.

It was unique service. We offered care for dogs in our home environment and treated each one with 24x7 love and care. This was a service so very needed and wanted here.

Our guests loved being pampered by us.
