About Lorna

Hello! My name is Lorna and I recently qualified as a vet. I studied in UCD as a mature student after completing my first degree at UCC. I haven't yet started my first "real vet" job so I still have some availability for pet sitting! Please read on for details on services I can offer! I'm happy to care for both cats and dogs and have references for both :) If you have other pets needing care just ask - I am quite happy to follow any specific husbandry instructions for other species and give them some love too!

Location and availability: I'm based in D04 and currently don't have a car, so I am limited to walking/public transport. I mostly have weekday, daytime availability, but let me know if you're looking for other times.

Growing up with pets, I'm well used to their quirks. I understand how to respect their boundaries, and can honestly say I treat my and other peoples' pets like royalty! I have only ever used positive, reward-based training methods with my pets and this is something I'm passionate about. I have a huge interest in behaviour and training so if your pet has a few quirks, is anxious, or even has special physical needs (my previous dog had 3 legs!), I am more than happy to work with what's best for them.

House sitting: Not currently taking bookings, sorry.

Home visits: When visiting your pet I can feed them, play with them, cuddle them, bring them out for walks and toilet breaks, administer medication, etc. Please note for home visits for cats and dogs I usually anticipate spending about 45 minutes to an hour with them (unless you want me to spend less time), I think it's really important they get interaction every day, hence my rate reflects this! :)

Dog walking: If your dog enjoys walks, I love being outdoors and I am happy to take them out for sniffs, a run, a game of fetch - whatever is their favourite. If they're more of a homebody I'm also happy to play games with them at home and provide enrichment there. Please note my rate is for an approximately 1 hour walk, if your dog needs lots more time please contact me and we can work out what suits :)

Cat sitting: I always make sure litter boxes and food dishes are immaculate and will always make plenty of time for cuddles and a check over to make sure your pet is feeling okay. I have also fostered and rehomed feral kittens, which are now total sweethearts thanks to some TLC. I love cats and I know they also have many quirks - I'll offer them space or cuddles, whichever they're in the mood for. 


Currently, my only pet is our family dog, Pluto, a rescue mutt who I miss a lot (he's in Cork!). He's a beeeautiful and unique looking collie cross!

I also understand the need to provide owner updates if desired - I am always asking for updates whenever I'm away from Pluto! 

I have always loved all animals and I really appreciate their individuality, they are never just a pet, they're a family member! I'm happy to follow your instructions to a T, and provide updates as we go. 

Thanks for reading, feel free to get in touch if you have any questions ☺️
