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.

Experienced care for special needs

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.

Within minutes of Lorna’s meet-and-greet, our pups took to her. Even our very reserved rescue warmed up to her. The pups were calm and happy and well cared for.

We had a fantastic experience with Lorna! Communication was excellent, and she always replied quickly to any messages. She followed all our directions carefully and did so well with Devī, who warmed up to her right away. She was also incredibly flexible and able to help us out at the last minute, which we really appreciated. When we got home, our house was clean and tidy. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely book with her again!

Lorna is very pleasant, considerate and our two dogs loved her. This was our first time having Lorna dog sit and the experience was perfect.
