Pet care experience

Hi, we are a dog loving adult family who have had dogs for over 16 years. We often look after dogs for friends and family and would love to offer a calm and comfy holiday space for your dogs too. Our dog family has included Spaniels, Terriers and Daschunds. All very different and with their own little characters. Which is part of the fun. We currently have 2 Daschund boys who enjoy meeting other Sausages and smaller breeds. The countryside is literally on our doorstep with plenty of fields and walks for your dogs to run and explore. A large sports field is minutes from the Barn, to play ball, training and long-lead walks. We love to take the dogs out for walks in new or different places too and often visit Delamere, Macclesfield Forest, Teggs Nose and Tatton Park, which are all nearby. Dogs will spend very little time alone, as I work from home full-time. Therefore, they will have access to the garden frequently. Also, my husband and daughter are here to step in if I need to take a trip to the shops or a work visit. I know how much trust is involved in leaving your pet with someone else. I’ll keep in touch regularly, and treat every dog in my care as if they were my own. I hope this will give you the peace of mind to enjoy your holiday or break away without any worries.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Lorna always takes incredibly good care of her own daschunds and has looked after my Jack Russell on many occasion! I highly recommend Lorna, thank you.
Lorna is friendly, reliable and clearly has a real love for animals. I’d feel completely confident leaving my dog in her care, knowing they’d be well looked after and given plenty of attention.
Dexter, our dog, always enjoys his stay with Lorna, he gets lots of cuddles and walks! Thanks for making Dexter part of the family when he stays. It's a home from home for him.
We feel so lucky to have found Lorna to look after Trixie and Nala. From the moment they met her, it was clear how caring, patient, and genuinely loving she is with them. She is incredibly attentive to their individual needs and always makes sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. It means so much to us knowing that when Trixie and Nala are with Lorna, they are treated with the same love we give them ourselves. She is friendly, trustworthy, reliable, and always goes the extra mile to make sure they are comfortable and content. Trixie and Nala absolutely adore her, and seeing how happy and relaxed they are in her care gives us complete peace of mind. We couldn’t recommend Lorna highly enough!

Schedule
We have a good daily routine. Walks are 2/3 times a day, weather dependent! A short walk in the morning and evening, and a longer walk around lunchtime. The boys are fed twice a day- around 8am and 4pm. I try and keep the house calm after walks to give them time to rest in their beds while I work. We are all together in the evenings and the last toilet break is 9.30 pm. Our dogs sleep downstairs in their beds.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
The garden is fenced safely for dogs to enjoy. Walks will be on lead, unless you request otherwise. I can follow your pups normal routine and any advice to help them feel at home. We do have an open wooden staircase, so we’d just ask that dogs stay downstairs. There is still plenty of space downstairs for dogs to settle in and make themselves comfortable. Cosy nights in front of the fire and cuddles on the couch are absolutely compulsory.
Pets
A typical day
We play lots of scent and find games in the house and out and about. We love finding small streams for the dogs to paddle in and can have fun with a ball on the field nearby.
