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 am now retired and spend many hours in my garden my other passion is cooking. Therefore I am at home most of the time. However if I do go out 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.
