Highlights
Pet care experience
A paw-tastic home away from home
I've regularly cared for family pets from puppies to senior dogs, as well as having my own larger 4 legged friend in Danny my horse. I have experience with anxious and reactive pets and am very active and happy to provide long or short walks depending on your pet's needs. I would treat them as if they are my own.

Ratings and reviews
Fiona kindly came to my rescue with only a few days notice. Ahead of her ‘dropping in’ on my dogs she was extremely approachable in all her messages as well as reassuring. On the day, my timings changed and upon letting Fiona know we’d left later than expected, she very kindly adjusted her schedule to make her visit later than originally requested. She clearly spent the whole 30 minutes with my two pups and got to know their personalities very quickly. I would happily invite Fiona to tend to any of our pets again in the future.
Fiona is absolutely lovely, when she met with Gus before hand he warmed to her straight away and I felt really comfortable leaving Gus in her capable hands. Fiona seemed confident with Gus’ sometimes more complicated medical and food needs and kept us updated throughout both drop in visits. I would highly recommend Fiona to look after your furry child!
Fiona has been outstanding with my puppy Maggie! She has been patient and really helped Maggie with training and learning to settle. It gives me such peace of mind leaving Maggie with Fiona and I can concentrate on my work with no worries. I have used Fiona a few times now and will continue to do so, her and Maggie now have a wonderful relationship!
Lovely- on time and Barkley had lots of fun on his walk, would definitely recommend ☺️🐾🐶
Fi is great with Indie, she happily takes her on walks and plays fetch. Indie sometimes barks and gets excited and Fiona doesn’t react and calms her down. I have no issues leaving Indie with Fiona for a week and know my puppy will be loved and well looked after staying at her place!
Fiona has looked after my dog Max loads over the years and he absolutely loves going to stay with her. She has lots of experience taking him on interesting and varied walks and giving him his daily medication and generally providing him with lots of cuddles and fun. Max is always sad to leave when we pick him up. Highly recommend Fiona! Reliable, experienced and quick to respond to queries. And Max absolutely loves her!

Schedule
I'm currently fully remote and work part-time so it's easy for me to schedule walks and care routines into my schedule. I can be flexible with my day and timings.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a fully fenced garden as well as easy access to parks in the local area. I am happy to have dogs in my car for further afield walks. My house is large enough for crates and I'm happy for dogs to be on the furniture if that is part of their usual routine.
A typical day
I like to provide a variety of walks with interesting environments which enable them to sniff and have all their senses stimulated. I know scent games and am a great tug of war opponent. I am happy to practice commands and will provide regular photo updates.
