Professional Care for Pets & Plants
Hello! I’m Fiona. I provide professional pet care backed by formal training in Applied Behavioural Analysis (ABA). Whether your dog is a social butterfly or a sensitive soul, I offer walks and drop-ins tailored to their specific temperament. I started with my dog, Lola. As a rescue who needed (and still needs!) immense patience and consistent training, I realised how hard it was to find a walker who didn't just walk my dog, but actually reinforced her routine and training. I believe every pet is an individual. Whether your dog needs extra patience with their commands or continuity with their routine while you're away. I aim to provide a tailored 1:1 service as unique as they are. I am DBS checked, fully insured, and committed to clear, honest communication so you never have to worry when you can't be there. Beyond dogs, I have a lifetime of experience with small pets and exotics, including rabbits, ferrets, and reptiles (chameleons and tortoises). No matter the species, I prioritise your pets well-being. I run a professional indoor gardening and houseplant care business, which allows me to manage my own schedule, meaning I can easily adapt my day to mirror your pet’s existing routine. I also offer complimentary plant care, as a professional plant parent, I’m happy to ensure your greenery thrives while you’re away-from basic watering to specialised care. For your peace of mind, I hold a current, valid DBS certificate. I look forward to meeting you and your pets!

Safety, trust & environment
I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet and home. I’m mindful that I am a guest in your pet’s space and will be respectful of their needs. In your home, I’ll follow your pet’s usual routines to minimise stress - I will ask in advance for as much detail as possible and am happy to follow any nuances your pet is used to. With my own rescue dog, I’ve learned the value of patience, calmness, and gentle handling, which I bring to every animal in my care.
Ratings and reviews
Ollie had a wonderful time with Fiona! It was lovely to receive photos of his walk. 5 star service. Will definitely re-book!
Fiona is lovely. She looked after our 3 cats visiting twice a day for a couple of days taking the time to listen to their needs and our preferences. They were clean, played with and well fed. I would definitely recommend and will be making a future request.
Fiona looked after my pet rabbit many times in my own home. She is a warm, friendly and reliable person and I would highly recommend her. She had no problems cleaning out the rabbit hutch and gave Speedy lots of attention and exercise when she looked after him.
Fiona has been absolutely fantastic walking and sitting my parents' dogs, a Saluki and a Jack Russell. From adventures in the forest, to runs along the beach, hikes up hills, and even short walks around the block for the older Jack Russell, the dogs love the different walks they get to go on with her!
I've got a panther chameleon and a Scotty dog that Fiona looked after for a long weekend. Neither are beginner pets, and both were well-cared for! Easy to communicate and quick responses from Fiona, great service. Will be using her services again when we next go away :)
Fiona was excellent with my two labs! Right from the start, she was aware of what they needed and treated them as I would. We went away for 10 days and got back to nothing destroyed and two happy, well-fed, and well-walked dogs. (This is not the case with a previous sitter). Very friendly human, the dogs obviously got on well with her! Highly recommended!

Schedule
Pet care easily fits into my daily life - I enjoy long walks in and around the South Downs especially. I work flexibly, so I can adapt my schedule to your pet’s routine.
