About Lorraine

Hi there! My name is Lorraine, and I'm a reliable pet sitter with years of experience caring for animals. I've owned and loved many pets throughout my life, from playful puppies to majestic cats, which has given me a deep understanding of their unique needs and personalities.

My passion for pet sitting, walking, and grooming goes beyond just a job. It's a fulfilling way for me to connect with animals and provide them with the love, attention, and care they deserve. I am happy to walk as long or as short as what the dog would prefer. I enjoy walking and would walk at least an hour per day. With a dog however they may prefer 2 short walks per day. Seeing their happy tails wagging and contented purrs brings me immense joy.

I work part time and I'm usually away from midday to around midnight, however my adult capable son is at home when I am not so the dog will never be alone.

I have a small back yard and the fence can contain a large dog. I live opposite a large park. Not far away, 15min drive, is a well established off the leash park.

I'm happy to have the dog inside or out and I have a well protected (from the sun and rain) patio where the dog could sleep at night or if he would prefer in the garage as well.

I don't have any pets therefore my attention will be 100% dedicated to making your dog happy and comfortable.

I understand that every pet is different, and I'm committed to providing personalized care tailored to their specific needs. I'm also happy to care for pets with special needs or medical requirements, ensuring they receive the attention and medication they need. Whether your pet is vaccinated or not, or has a complex personality, I'm dedicated to providing them with the best possible care in a safe, secure and comfortable environment.

You can trust me to be responsible, attentive, and loving towards your furry friend. I'll treat them as if they were my own, providing them with plenty of exercise, playtime, and cuddles. Your pet's well-being and happiness are my top priorities.

Lorraine did a fabulous job looking after my senior girl, Nelly! Nelly can be nervous and anxious in new places, but Lorraine handled her with such confidence and love. It was heart-warming to see how comfortable Nelly was, happily wandering around the house and garden, making herself right at home! I will definitely be booking Lorraine again. It gives me such peace of mind knowing that when I need to leave Nelly with a sitter, she’ll be in good hands and well cared for. Thank you, Lorraine!

Highly recommend Lorraine! Excellent communication, and care provided. Lorraine looked after my two fur babies (one adult and one kitten) while I was away, she made me feel relaxed and comfortable they were cared for, fed and cleaned up after very well. Thanks Lorraine!

I have always cared for dogs and cats from when I was young, I am now 67 years old. I have been to numerous training schools for dogs and believe if you treat animals well they will respond well. Positive reinforcement goes a long way.
