Highlights
Pet care experience
Offering love, discipline & routine
Hi there! My name is Fiona, and I’m a passionate and responsible dog lover with countless years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I have always had a dog in my life and occasionally cats too. I received training from the Guide Dogs after volunteering as a fosterer for guide dogs in their last phase of training. I also have CPD-accredited first-aid training for dogs. I’ve cared for and reared 2 litters of pups, one from my last dog and one from my current Golden Retriever, Luna. In my view, dogs need love, discipline and routine and I’m here to offer all three. I understand how important your pet is to you, and I treat every dog in my care as if they were my own. Whether your dog loves long, energising walks, quick toilet breaks, or playful outings at the park, I’m here to provide the exercise, attention, and care your dog needs while you’re away. I aim to make every walk enjoyable for your dog, and I work hard to build trust and establish a bond with them.

I have a fully secure fenced garden offering plenty of space to play, toilet, or just have a good sniff. I am a highly experienced and loving dog owner who will care for your dog as if they were my own.
Ratings and reviews
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fiona was fantastic with Willow, and we would happily book with her again. We reached out with only a couple of days' notice when we were planning a visit to Chester Zoo, and Fiona was incredibly accommodating from the start. She was flexible with timings, allowing us to drop Willow off towards the later end of our agreed window and collect her at the latest possible time, which made planning our day so much easier. Throughout the process, Fiona was friendly, responsive, and easy to coordinate with. Willow spent the day with Fiona, her own dog Luna, and another dog she was caring for called Rosie. While we were naturally a little cautious about introducing Willow to new dogs, Fiona's confidence and experience gave us reassurance, and she was absolutely right. Luna and Rosie turned out to be the perfect companions for our energetic one-year-old Golden Retriever, providing a great balance of play and calmness throughout the day. Fiona kept us updated with regular photos and videos, which allowed us to see just how much fun Willow was having and helped us relax and enjoy our day out. The updates, combined with Fiona's obvious understanding of dog behaviour and group dynamics, gave us complete confidence that Willow was in excellent hands. The biggest sign of how successful the day was came when we picked Willow up. She was calm, happy, relaxed, and pleasantly tired after a day of fun and stimulation. It's clear that Fiona genuinely cares about the dogs she looks after and creates a safe, positive environment for them. If we're ever back in Chester, Fiona will be one of the first people we contact for dog care. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, reliable, and caring sitter.
Fiona was great with Paddy, he really enjoyed his stay with her and Luna. He had lovely walks and if you want your dog loved and cared for Fiona is the place to place them. I cannot recommend her enough, Paddy had a fantastic time there.
Mabel enjoys every minute at Fiona's. You get plenty of videos and photos every day to keep updated on her little adventures
Excellent updates and care of Neville. He enjoyed his day so much. I would highly recommend
Fiona was very professional and accomodating with Mabel. She loved her stay and made best friends with Luna, they were inseparable! Very confident with off leading walking with Luna so I had no worries with Mabel.
Fiona is reliable, professional, and truly cares about animals. She always go above and beyond to make sure our dogs are safe and happy, and we love the daily updates and photos she sends. It’s such a relief knowing that our dogs are in good hands while we’re away. Highly recommend Fiona to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker/sitter!

Schedule
Dogs underpin my day-to-day routine and I don't start work until the dog has been walked. As I work from home as a translator, your dog will always be in my company and never be left alone for any length of time. If I need to pop out, Luna is more than happy to keep your dog company.
