Highlights
Pet care experience
Over 30 years of experience
I've looked after a multitude of different pets in my lifetime. Starting with the neighbour's cat Domino when I was 11. I've looked after many different breeds of dogs from a little Papillon to a very big German Shepherd. I've looked after puppies and senior dogs so am confident in catering to their needs. The same can be said for cats. I'm confident with kittens and older cats. I've personally had cats and dogs all of my life so am very confident in their care and will look after your fur babies with as much love as I would my own. I've also had a Russian Dwarf hamster, a Syrian hamster, a house rabbit, 4 rats, goldfish and even stick insects! I've looked after ferrets, a snake, gerbils, tropical fish and giant African land snails, so I'm confident with all pets! I'm fully insured, dbs checked and pet first aid and CPR trained. I also have a certificate in animal psychology and one in small and exotic animal care.

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I'm fully insured and dbs checked. I take your pets safety incredibly seriously and will stick to any guidelines you give me whilst caring for them. For dog walks away from the area surrounding your home, I have a reinforced, crash tested crate in my car, with a sturdy ramp for them to get in and out. I keep spare slip leads on me incase of emergencies, and I carry a pet first aid kit with me too.
Ratings and reviews
Fiona looked after my seven cats for a whole week, which is no small task, and she went absolutely above and beyond. From the moment we met, I felt completely confident that they were in safe, caring hands, and she kept me updated throughout the week which gave me such peace of mind while we were away. She didn’t just turn up, feed them and leave — she genuinely cared about them and took the time to make sure they were all happy, settled and well looked after. She even went the extra mile when one of my cats’ collars was found on the doorstep and he was nowhere to be seen. Fiona actually went out looking for him to make sure he was safe! Thankfully, he was absolutely fine — he’s just apparently developed a talent for escaping his collar from time to time 😂 — but the fact that Fiona was so concerned and proactive really says everything about the level of care she provides. Coming home to seven happy, relaxed cats was the best possible sign that they’d been wonderfully looked after.

Schedule
Pet sitting is my only job so I pride myself on being super flexible. My children are all older now. One is away at university, one is about to start college and my youngest is just going into year 9 so they're less dependent on me now. I share school runs with my husband and I take my youngest to football training and matches three times a week which is really my only regular commitment.
