About Lorna

  1. I'm very passionate about making sure that the dogs in my care are given a home from home. I love walks around the village, runs in the park or fields with a furry friend in tow. Our day starts with dropping my children to school and then straight out the door for hour long walk around the village or a run around the enclosed fields behind my home. Weather dependant the dogs can then snuggle up and snooze by the fire in my kitchen while I make dinner or do house work. They are allowed to roam the full house and garden as long as I'm with them. We have a big garden, so after the snooze they love to head back outside for some ball play. The dogs are only in their pens while I'm collecting the kids which takes 20mins max. If they are staying overnight they'll sit with us in the kitchen or sitting room till I'm going to bed and will then be put in their pens snug as a bug. I have 3 children, 12,10, 7 and we have 1 dog Maisie who is a rescue she's 11. Her pal Millie passed away 18 months ago and she's been lost ever since without her bestie. That's how I got into minding dogs as they're great company for her because I just wasn't ready to replace Millie she was a wonderful dog.

    Really liked Lorna and her commitment to looking after not only my puppy, but several other dogs she had booked in at the same time. Lorna was very friendly and had a lot of experience dog sitting which put my mind at ease when leaving my puppy with her. I would have appreciated a few more updates about Kenny while I was away as felt I had to initiate these a lot but I did feel confident that she was being well looked after. Lorna was also very understanding of Kenny’s boisterous behaviour and nervous accidents! I would rebook her in a heartbeat.
