Hi, I'm Lorna, an animal lover located in Strathaven, South Lanarkshire, Scotland. I am a fully insured, Disclosure Scotland checked pet sitter who is diploma certified in the following subjects: Feline First Aid, Canine First Aid, Understanding Feline Anxiety, Understanding Canine Anxiety, Canine Behaviour Training and Veterinary Assistant. I am a highly experienced cat owner and former cat and kitten voluntary fosterer. Over the years I have had the pleasure of being a responsible pet owner to a great variety of pets such as cats, dogs, fish (both indoor and outdoor), budgies, hamsters, gerbils and rabbits (to name but a few). I offer a bespoke, fully insured, one to one pet sitting service (for cats/kittens, dogs/puppies and small animals), as well as a dog walking service. Unlike many others who offer kennels or home boarding, I offer something a little different as I know that many pets are simply not suited to cattery or kennel environments. age, health conditions or temperament). Therefore, I provide a live in service for dogs; coming to your home and staying overnight with your dog(s) providing that much needed company and reassurance throughout both day and night. For my feline friends, I visit them in their own homes, from one to several times a day (depending on owner preference); therefore providing a cat care and cat feeding service. All cat sitting duties are undertaken such as litter tray cleans, feeding/watering, providing plenty of love, cuddles and attention, giving both mental stimulation and exercise via play, brushing coats, and administering medication if required. For my canine chums, all dog sitting and puppy sitting duties are undertaken such as feeding/watering, administering medication (including injections for diabetic dogs), brushing coats, providing mental stimulation and exercise through play, going for lovely walks, and providing company, love, cuddles, reassurance and attention whilst their owner is away. I provide both doggy day care in your home (from as little as one or two hours to a full day) and overnight care for your dog in its own home, therefore if you are looking for a dog friendly live in dog sitter, then look no further! I also offer solo dog walks (not group walks), and for your dogs only, to ensure they have my full attention and get the most out of their walkies. If a half hour or hour's walk would interest you for your canine chum, then please don't hesitate to get in touch. Whilst you are away from home it would be an absolute honour for me to take care of your furry (or not so furry) friends in the comfort of their own home, which of course minimises stress and anxiety levels for so many animals. As a cat owner myself, I am only too aware that cats are particularly sensitive to changes in their environment, therefore being able to stay in their own home, with their own home comforts and familiar surroundings and scents certainly helps to reduce stress and anxiety levels whilst you are away; also providing you with that all important peace of mind that your cat is happy, content, relaxed and well cared for at home. If any of my services interests you, then please do not hesitate to send me a direct message, email me on [email protected] or call me for a no obligation chat about your needs, and more importantly the needs of your pet(s). I love to meet both you and your pet(s) ahead of our scheduled sit to both alleviate any concerns and familiarise your pet with its new best two-legged friend!
