Lori Jean's primary business is pet sitting. But when I could not find a property manager to keep an eye on my father's house through his final days in assisted living and ultimate death, I turned to her for house sitting services. Living 200 miles away, during a pandemic and during winter, she was a life saver. She visited the house, checked for things like leaking pipes, and texted me pictures of the thermostat. One day, the heat was off, and she not only reported the problem, she actually went down the basement, added water to the steam boiler, and fixed it. Have not used the pet sitting services, but we have traded photos of our pets, and her love for animals comes through loud and clear in her online postings. My highest recommendation.

Lori took such good care of our boys while we were away! They absolutely love her! Thank you Lori for keeping us posted and all the photos and videos you sent while we were in Scotland! You truly helped us to relax and enjoy ourselves while we were so far from home!

Lori I want to tell you how impressed I was with the cleanliness of your home and your reasonable prices. I will definitely recommend you to friends and family when they need a pet sitter. I was nervous about leaving my dog with a stranger but when my friend Anette recommended you I knew you would be trustworthy. Happy New Year!!

Lori Jean Karluk of Silver Snuggles Pet and House Sitting is not only an outstanding and reliable human being, she is a true animal lover and advocate. When we travel, we leave our home and beloved animals in her care and never think twice about anything ! She is reliable, caring, prompt, and attentive. Lori Jean adores animals. Last summer we had a suspicious vehicle at our home, and Lori Jean went WAY beyond what her contract required of her. She dealt with the situation for HOURS, calling the state police, contacting us, staying while the trooper inspected our home. Not to mention our cats LOVE her. They come running when she arrives. Need I say more ??

Lori Jean is a wonderful person with a genuine love of animals. My dog took to her right away. She is happy to go with Lori,and comes back happy and looking well-cared for by Lori. I would NEVER leave my dog with anyone I could not trust completely. I am very grateful to have found Lori Jean.

I’ve used silver snuggles on several occasions. We had no issues. Fees are very reasonable and Lori is a total sweetheart. I know whenever we leave our fur babies or have Lori come to our home they are in great hands. I would recommend silver snuggles to anyone who needs pet sitting.

I would not recommend this person to take care of your pets. We hired her in September to take care of our 3 dogs (who we treat like our children) for 10 days over XMAS by staying at our house. She did tell me of 2 days the following week where she had a conflict with her schedule. No problem. As soon as we landed in Europe, we then realized we had an issue with Lori Jean of Silver Snuggles. Yes, several text messages went back and forth until my husband finally called her. Apparently, she was upset we didn't sign papers of hers, but then again why didn't she point that out when we were right there in front of her signing a check paying in full? We also had given her 2 keys to the house (per her request) at that time. I don't understand why she was upset we didn't wait for her on the day we left?? Anyways, while my husband was on the phone with her to remind her of what we hired her for, I also was on the phone to a friend in town who would jump in if need be. There were no "illegal" video cameras going or recording. It was nothing more than a nanny cam that we watch our dogs on. No invading anyone's privacy! Doors with keypad locks? We both work out of the house. My husband works for a company that he has to handle clients private information. I have my office also. Both of these rooms are on a floor by themselves giving no reason whatsoever for someone to go up to that floor as it is all open and you can see that the two rooms are the only thing up there. I cannot post my warning on this businesses website because before she left my house, she had already advised me I was blocked. However I did put a review on her FB page and she promptly removed it and wrote how horrible we are. We also receive notifications when the doors are opened. She would arrive at my house around 11:00 pm and leave between 5/6am. Then sometime between 3-5. My dogs are used to being outside during daylight not nighttime. It makes me totally sick to know that I left my pups in her hands and they were all by themselves. Here I thought someone would be with them and they'd be happy. I know they were certainly happy to see me! A few of my friends have tried to put a review on my behalf on her webpage or FB page. She has deleted them. Please be very careful!

I am so grateful to have Lori as my sitter! I travel often, and I never have to worry about if my dogs have been let out, or if my cat has received her medicine. Lori is always right on top of things and provides me with pictures and videos of her time with my pets. If you treat your animals like family, than Lori is the sitter for you! She will spoil them as if they are her own, and is very accommodating. I couldn't ask for better!

It went absolutely horrible. She would show up between 11-12pm, let my dogs out during the night and leave between 5-6am. She would then stop by during the day. This clearly wasn't what we had agreed to and had paid for in advance. We are with our dogs 24/7, we wouldn't have hired someone to NOT be with them! She has removed my review on her FB page and wrote how horrible a client I was. Implied it was difficult to receive payment, the check written to her was cashed before the job started. My road was creepy and had security cameras on it, first of all, it is in the woods, and those security cameras are my neighbors. Implied I lied about where I was going? I can show you a plane ticket or my passport to show where I went. This woman is deceitful. She also deactivated herself from another site because she couldn't remove my review. She told me she would "block" me when she returned the house key. I also believe I have an item missing from my bureau. It was a tiny stained glass box. I hope that perhaps I had moved it before I left on vacation but there was a dust mark showing that something was there. I would hope if it was taken, it would just be mailed back to me.
