I started paws too claws for various reasons but I know I was born to love on and work with animals. When I was a kid I’d make my parents pull over at farms to pet various animals or stop to see the horses on the side of the road.
I Got my 1st dog after college and have been a lifelong pet parent since. I’ve had cats. Dogs. Fish and birds. Animals have always been a true love of mine.
Then I met my soul dog, Sammy and I wanted to figure out a way to work together and help others who couldn’t be with their animals due to work or vacations etc. so Paws Too claws was established in 2017. I worked with animals for 6 years prior to opening paws too claws making it 15+ years of experience.
Paws Too claws is serious about dog walking and Pet sitting. It is not a hobby or something done between jobs. Dog walking and pet sitting is my career.
I am so thrilled to be in this business because I believe pet ownership is truly one of those pure experiences that life has bestowed upon us. The irony is that people often think that humans are here to ensure pets’ survival. However, you and I both know that it is more than likely the other way around.

Lori cares for our dog like her own, and our dog loves her like family. Knowing how she will be cared for by Lori, whether on a walk or when we're out of town, gives us irreplaceable peace of mind.Posted on Google![]()

We’ve had such a great experience with Lori and Pawstooclaws. She is always reliable, communicative, patient and cares about my dogs like they are her own. She works to understand our dog’s routines and schedules so she can help keep them comfortable and happy. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and genuinely great with animals!Posted on Google![]()

Lori has been a great sitter for our two cats! She’s very reliable and keeps in touch. (And they like that she gives them treats!) It’s comforting knowing that our beloved buddies are in caring hands when we are away.Posted on Google![]()

I highly recommend Lori. She is incredibly responsible, reliable, and caring. She has taken excellent care of our cat Judy for the last 8 years, and never leaves until she’s absolutely sure Judy is comfortable and doing well. It gives us so much peace of mind knowing our kitty is in such good hands. She’s also very kind and easy to communicate with. We feel truly lucky to have found Lori!Posted on Google![]()

Do you want to go on vacation knowing your pet is in good hands or looking for a reliable walker? You'll fine it with Lori! Lori has been with our family 10+ years. She started walking and staying with my lab until he passed 😢. She is now the exclusive sitter to our Morkie! Lori will care for your furry love like her own! My lab and Lori were always excited to see each other; and, like us, she felt the loss when he passed. Don't stress when looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter. Contact Lori!Posted on Google![]()

Lori at PawsTooClaws is the best! She has been walking our little Mia for years. She treats her as if she is her own and I know Mia will always be safe when she is with Lori. She is reliable and trustworthy and I don’t know what we would do without her. Thank you Lori!!!Posted on Google![]()

Lori of Paws to Claws has watched my dog Jagger for years. She is the best. I’m able to go away guilt free. I know he is in general good care. Besides loving your dog like her own she is reliable. I had an emergency and went to the hospital and called her to take care of Jagger and she ran right over. I don’t know what Jagger or I would do without her!Posted on Google![]()

Lori of Paws Too Claws is awesome! She is very reliable, professional and trustworthy. But best of all, she takes great care of my dog Sadie when I go out of town or just need her to give Sadie an extra walk. Her love of dogs definitely shines through.
