Pet care experience

Full-time animal lover hoping to help you take care of your pet! I have a great deal of experience pet-sitting in other people's homes all over Ireland for up to 5 weeks while they are away. These pet-sits have included various animals including dogs and cats to birds, fish, and reptiles. They also included rescues and animals with medical regimens, so I am well used to providing care for animals with additional physical or psychological needs. I am a psychologist by trade, and believe I am equally as attentive in spotting early signs of distress in animals. I love to hike and do jiu jitsu, so and am well able to walk any number and size of pet. I know how much exercise some pets need, so am more than willing to take your pets on longer walks or hikes of up to 5-6 hours. I have taken my own and friend's dogs hiking several times in the past, and they always have the time of their lives! I have a lifetime of animal care behind me, growing up on a farm with cattle, sheep, pigs, dogs, cats, rabbits, fish, and chickens. My dad is also an animal pregnancy scanner, so I am used to all sorts of animals! I used to work part-time for a pet farm, gaining experience in the care of everything from alpacas to emus, goats, rabbits, geese, and ferrets. My family had an old english sheepdog growing up, so I am well-used to basic grooming. My aunt used to keeps bees and I helped her growing up, crystalising this as a dream of mine for the future. I live in a shared house, so unfortunately cannot offer services in my home. However, I am more than happy to take your pet for a walk somewhere close to your home, to drop-in to your pet while you are away, or stay in your home for 24-hour care. Happy to meet you and your pets before we start working together to ensure that we are a match. Feel free to message me and we can discuss what plan will work best for you and your pet :)

Lorna was fantastic! She looked after my dog during two drop-in visits and kept me updated. Reliable, caring, and professional, so I’d happily book her again. Highly recommended!

Lorna was warm and kind. My dog Lola, who can be wary of new people, was instantly comfortable with Lorna which put me at ease. Lorna was so attentive to their schedule and needs. I couldn't be happier to have found Lorna and will definitely book again in the future 😁

Lorna was an absolute dream for Scoop! She's incredibly responsible and so loving with pets. I felt completely at ease leaving Scoop with her, and he had the best time. I couldn't recommend her more highly if you're looking for someone amazing to care for your furry friend. Lorna has this amazing way with dogs. She was so patient and understanding with our puppy Scoop who is still learning. We came back to a happy and well-exercised dog, clearly having had a fantastic time. It's clear she genuinely loves animals and treats them like her own.

I was recommended Lorna by a friend after she walked and minded our dogs whilst I was away and we were so impressed with how reliable and lovely she was. Snickerdoodle can be quite the handful as an energetic labradoodle, however he warmed to Lorna instantly. She did many drop in walks and check ins any time I was called into work on short notice as well as regular walks. Lorna is 10/10 and will recommend to any friends with doggy needs!
