Lois Buncher

About Us

Hello! My name is Lois Buncher, owner of "Bunches of Love." I offer in-home pet sitting to the residents within 100 miles from my home in Stockton. Instead of sending your pet to be boarded at the veterinarian or kennel, I keep your pet comfortable and give them one-on-one full time attention.

I do vacations, business trips, weekend get aways and last minute emergencies.

Contact me at (209) 401-2316 or email me at loisbuncher1973@gmail.com.

I have over ten years experience of in-home pet sitting, and I am a member of NAPPS and insured with the Business Insurers of the Carolinas.

If you're in the area of Stockton, CA and need a pet groomer, I recommend Paws Print Grooming Spaw.
If you're looking for a fantastic + family photographer, I recommend Kevin @ Caroline Photography.

Testimonials

Lois is very good with the dogs (1 Alaskan Malamute and 2 chihuahua mixes) and took excellent care of them and our house while we were away. She is very trustworthy and reliable. I would not hesitate to have her come again. Lynette H.
We are so glad we have Lois. Our little Corgi-Sheltie, Kierya, a rescue is wary of strangers and usually warms up slowly. But she took to Lois right away. It's comfortable to know Kyeria is with someone she likes when we are away from home. We also know our house is monitored by someone trustworthy and capable. We highly recommend Lois for pet and house sitting. Melody T.
Lois is very conscientious, reliable and meticulous. She follows through, never misses a date and even takes extra time to let "Roxie" sit on her lap. She has been caring for our cats on a regular basis this year and can definitely be counted on! I highly recommend her for a pet sitting needs! Renee E.
Lois Buncher has house and pet sat for us. She has a way with animals and we felt comfortable leaving her in charge of them. She stayed in our home while we were away which was a weight off our shoulders. I would recommend her to house and pet sit. Judy & Doug W.
Lois just spent two weeks keeping our two pets well fed and exercised, and ready to welcome us back. The part that I hoped for the most is the potted roses and other plants I have scattered on the front and back porches. They came through some really hot weather looking refreshed. Most house sitters I have had have the plants swimming in water but burned brown for a week without water. She was great. What an asset to have. I won't agonize over vacations any more. Plus she took us on a trip to Ireland com[plete with the names of shop keepers and Inn keepers. Some places we had visited so we knew how realistic the fantasy was. Kevin Canwell
Our sitter for the past 13 years retired, so we needed a new pet sitter to take care of our cats. Lois from Bunches of Love was recommended. I met with her at our home, showed her where the bowls/water/food/litter boxes are, and shared a printed set of instructions. Lois sent me a confirmation of the dates. While we were away, she reliably visited our three cats and sent us a daily report via email of the visits. Our cats are formerly feral, now most indoors,and only one is friendly with unfamiliar visitors. While two of them hid much of the time, they were all three in great health when we returned 5 days later and the kitchen and bowls were all clean. Lois also brought in our newpapers, and filled the outdoor water bowls. She has a friend that will assist her clients if she is traveling when you need her services. She is a delightful person and we are fortunate to have found her. Clemmie K.
Lois was prompt, attentive and cordial. She communicated daily via text and provided the services we requested. Don H.
Lois watched our two miniature dachshunds for us when we went on vacation. She came to our home every day and walked, fed, and stayed with Stella and Lucy all day. Our dogs were so happy to be able to stay in their own home and just loved hanging out with Lois. She's gentle, thoughtful and very conscientious. We completely trusted her with our home and greatest treasures (our dogs) and she did not let us down. Will definitely use her again. Christina Thomas
Lois is amazing with our animals! Keeping us worry free about our lil fur babies while we are on vacation. I would recommend her to anyone who has animals that travels. James McLemore
I highly recommend Lois. She truly loves animals and it shows. She is always on time and very trustworthy. My dog gets lots of exercise and bunches of LOVE. My home and my dog are in good hands....I can relax knowing she is there. Joan C.
I got Lois's information from a local BNI group in Stockton area. We couldn't be happier with her care of our 3 'fur-babies' and our home. We were gone a full week and upon returning home found the dogs calm and happy...and a clean house. And the yard was watered. She each dog on a walk a couple times a day and gave them special treats of veggies. I even think our dogs walk better now, after Lois, than they did prior Lois. Over all, I would highly recommend Lois for care of multiple pets, home and yard. She is a delightful person. Catherine M.
Twice this summer Lois stayed in our home looking after our dog Coco, and cat TigerLily. Both times the animals were very relaxed when we returned home. I trust that Lois will be conscientious and take care of the pets like they are her own. I appreciate that Lois takes her “Bunches of Love Pet Sitting” business seriously by carrying insurance with it. This is a step above other pet sitters we have used in the past. It is helpful to know whom to call if we are called away from home for several days. Thank you, Lois! Mary Hummel
Lois is just great with our two silky terrier puppies. We love the fact that she treats the boys as her own, as well as our home. We would recommend her in a heart beat!! Linda and Dave Hatch
