Compassionate Special Needs Care

Pet care experience

I have spent most of my life around animals, and have worked with them professionally for nearly two decades. My family welcomed our first dog, a 140lb Golden Retriever, when I was just four years old. Since then, I have cared for a variety of my own companion animals, including cocker spaniels, pit bulls, mastiffs, cats, ferrets, rabbits, chinchillas, birds, lizards, and fish. My professional experience includes working at boarding facilities, veterinary clinics, pet stores and wildlife centres. I have worked with many individuals and organizations in the local animal care and veterinary community. While I enjoy working with all animals, I have a special affinity towards big dogs, oversized cats, and ducks.

We were scrambling to find pet care for our somewhat reactive dog and our cats after having our sitter cancel on us. We were blessed to have found Lorna and couldn’t be happier with her care. She stayed in our house for three weeks and took amazing care of our pets as well as our house! We would definitely recommend Lorna to everyone in need of pet care!

Lorna was great - I met with her twice prior to having her drop in on my dogs. The picture updates were great, and the dogs seemed to enjoy the time with her based on the pictures. Always a peace of mind to know they are doing good with any dog sitter ☺️

Safety, trust & environment

I understand the importance of familiarity and routine for animals, which is why I offer petsitting in your home. I know first-hand how challenging it can be to leave beloved pets behind, especially when they require extra care due to their age, illness, anxiety or behavioural issues. When I stay with your pets I treat your home with upmost respect and care, and you can trust that your fur family are in good hands while you're away.

Information Lorna W. would like to know about your pet

I am comfortable and experienced with an array of behaviours and personalities, but please prepare me for your pets needs. What is their favourite treat, do they have any restrictions, or do they have to sit for their food? Do they have any no-go spots or triggers? How do they get along with the neighbours?

A typical day

I want to make sure your dog has a safe and enriching adventure, with lots of time to smell the best smells, check out the trails, and playtime with favourite toys. Tailored to your dogs needs and energy levels for healthy stimulation.
