Who's That Girl?
Lorelei Moon grew up in a small San Joaquin Valley, California town, where she discovered an affinity for helping animals, and people, at an early age. While attending college in Fresno (Anthropology/Art History) she made extra money with pet care, house-sitting and personal services like ironing, running errands and organizing for her professors, employers, and fellow students. Word of mouth spread and it became a steady side job. When Lorelei moved to Oakland, California in 1993 , she continued offering a wide variety of services, teaming up with her friend and co-worker, Tammy, under the name, The Dog & Cat Nannies, Etc., Etc., Etc...in 1996. Lorelei changed the name to, More Than Pets: Pet-Sitting & More in 2000.
Lorelei has had a wide range of personal and job experiences which add to the variety of services she is able to provide her clients. Lorelei has studied art and interior design. A professional artist, musician, and tarot counselor, she has worked as an art consultant in San Francisco and an art gallery manager in Fresno. She has run a front office, worked in food service, legal services, marketing, sales, and research. She was a licensed optician for some time, then a Veterinary Assistant for more than 10 years.
Lorelei finds her most rewarding work is with animals. As a veterinary assistant she discovered a great talent for putting animals and their humans at ease. On a daily basis she enjoyed helping clients understand their pets' behavior, medical issues, physical, psychological and nutritional needs. Lorelei became adept at giving medication, injections, and nail trims to many kinds of animals. She is intuitive about animals' needs and knowledgeable about their behavior. Early on, Lorelei started giving massage, acupressure and healing energy treatments to animals, finding that it had a calming effect and often eased their physical symptoms.
Over the years Lorelei has taken care of nearly every kind of animal imaginable; from cats and dogs, rabbits, reptiles, amphibians, bugs and birds. She's been heavily involved in animal rescue, often finding homes for pets deemed "impossible" to place due to age or medical issues. She often finds herself answering calls for help with wildlife such as injured birds, orphaned raccoons and opossums. Lorelei has shared her own home with many animal companions over the years including cats, dogs, birds, fish, chinchillas, rabbits and even a pet moth! In 2019 her cat LiLi passed away after twenty-two years of loyal companionship. She currently lives with two humans and their three hilarious Pomeranians and sans a pet companion of her own, has settled for being “auntie” to many of her client’s cats and has become a bit of a crazy plant lady. She travels all over the SF Bay Area and beyond.
Lorelei is a domestic violence, mental health and disability advocate, who firmly believes Black Lives Matter, BIPOC Lives Matter, and Trans Lives Matter. She is an avid reader who seems to know at least a little about everything, loves the ocean, has a very green thumb, a fondness for nighttime pollinators like bats and moths that people are irrationally afraid of, loves to help people get organized, writes poetry and fiction, and she has been reading the tarot personally and professionally for nearly four decades.
Lorelei would love to help you with your pet, home or personal needs.
