Highlights
Pet care experience
Experience dog sitter
I've always owned a dog until recently but unfortunately I don't have a dog of my own at the moment. I have experience with a range of dog breeds having owned and dog sat: lurchers, poodle crosses, Rhodesian ridge backs, Labradors, rottweilers and mutts. No children or other dogs in the home. I regularly dog sit for friends and family. I have a large garden which is around an acre completely fenced. I work from home so I'm able to take dogs on regular walks.
Cat care experience
Lorna also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.

Ratings and reviews
Lorna sent regular updates and pictures of our two dogs which was a real relief knowing they were in good care. The dogs did plenty of activities from walks including swimming to joining Lorna at her running club. Both dogs seemed really at home and settled back into our family home straight away. We will definitely be booking with Lorna again.
This was the first time we’ve had a ‘stranger’ looking after our eight-year-old pooch, and I was nervous. Those nerves quickly went due to how caring and attentive Lorna is, and we’d happily request her dog sitting services again. You can tell she loves the dogs she looks after and makes them feel at home. Lorna kindly sent daily updates with photos to keep my mind at peace and took great care of our very needy and spoilt dog!
Bert had such a good stay with Lorna, he’s a very big boy and she was great with him. Kept us up to date with pictures throughout his stay. We would definitely use Lorna again. Thankyou
Lorna has looked after my dachshund Phoebe on a number of occasions. Phoebe always seems happy to see Lorna, and always comes home well-exercised and content. Lorna has a natural way with dogs, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her.
Lorna has cared for animals since she was a child, and in adulthood she has been a proud owner of a dog, Charlie. I have recently taken on a big lab retriever, Dojo, and when I go away, Lorna looks after him, much to his delight. She gives him lots of attention and exercise.
I would recommend Lorna without hesitation. she is reliable, kind, attentive and experienced with both dogs and cats. She has been a pivotal person in caring for my elderly Collie (Ben) and Ridgeback (Raku) and terrier Arthur, through their lives and is experienced with caring for both elderly and young active dogs. I trust Lorna implicitly with both my pets and my home. While caring for Ben and Raku and Arthur, she has provided long walks, playtime, medication administration and kept me updated with pictures and messages, which has given us total peace of mind while away. Again, I would highly recommend Lorna to anyone looking for a compassionate and professional pet sitter.
