Highlights
Pet care experience
Home from home - solo dog sits
We (my husband James and I) can offer a truly home from home experience and host solo dogs if preferred as we no longer have our own pets. We are huge dog lovers and have owned dogs since 2010 but our last one passed in Autumn 25. We love having dog guests to stay and they are treated like a part of the family. Over the past 5 years we have had repeat visits from a Rottweiler, Husky, Boxer and a pair of lovely Spaniels.

Ratings and reviews
What a wonderful day Barney has had with Fiona. It was so lovely getting the photos and videos to see that he had settled so well. I know Barney will delighted to return! Highly recommend!
Fiona and her family did a wonderful job looking after my rambunctious boy! She was able to cover me at short notice and she was very attentive to him. Thank you!
Fiona and her family were so warm and welcoming, our dog felt immediately comfortable and at home there. Our dog clearly had a fun, safe & happy time with them and I’m sure she’ll be returning for another visit before long!
Fiona and her lovely family took such good care of Ludo - he loves spending time with them and I know he will be treated as part of the family when he’s there. Thank you! X
Fiona and her family were fantastic with our lively Crocker spaniel Monty! They kept him entertained loved and happy for 2 weeks. He was clearly kept on his usual routine as he is now back home and just as happy as he always been. It looks like Monty had a great holiday with Fiona's family while we were hiking in Spain. Thank you so much, Fiona! We will definitely look out for your dog care again when we need to go away! Thank you so much xx
Our dogs’ second stay with Fiona & James, and again they’ve come home very happy and well-looked after. We had regular updates & photos. Totally recommend Fiona & James.

Schedule
Between James and I, one of us will always be able to be at home when we have a dog guest as we work flexibly. We are an active family and have countryside walks right outside our door so we are happy to take our dog guests out for fun walks in fields and forests!
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We have a decent sized secure garden with 6 ft wooden fences. We will happily work with dog owners to understand the routines which work for the dog to support and help them to settle with us.
A typical day
We live in a semi rural area so have lots of space for taking dog guests out for fun and simulating walks! We also enjoy running so can take dogs out for runs if this is something they enjoy. We are a dog loving family and also enjoy spending time giving cuddles and affection to our dog guests (if this is something they want! We know all dogs have different preferences)
- 0 to 7 kg7 to 18 kg18 to 45 kgover 45 kgNo females in heatFiona can host up to 2 pets per night
- We ask for any support info such as routines or preferences to be shared in advance where possible so that we can do our best to offer a smooth settling experience. We have experienced looking after a senior dog (as our last pet Labrador was over 11 when she passed) and we are happy to tailor our approach.
