Highlights
Pet care experience
Your Dog’s Rural Retreat
I live on a smallholding with plenty of open field space, so dogs staying with me will have lots of safe room to run, explore and burn off energy. I grew up surrounded by animals and previously worked as a shepherd, so caring for animals is a huge part of my daily life and something I’m very confident with. We currently have four friendly dogs of our own — two Labradors who are working gun dogs, plus a Jack Russell and a Dachshund — so I’m very used to managing multiple dogs, different personalities, and structured routines. All of our dogs are well socialised and used to being around other dogs. I love spending time outdoors and will make sure your dog gets plenty of exercise, attention, and a safe, caring environment while they’re with me.

Ratings and reviews
We couldn't be happier with care our GSP got from Fiona and her family. Kaya stayed for 10 nights and Fiona sent lots of photos and updates. Kaya was obviously having a great time alongside Fiona's own dogs and she was well looked after. We would happily book again and have no hesitation in recommending Fiona to anyone.
Fiona is a complete animal person and looked after Beau like he was her own - what more could we ask for. She sent us lots of updates to reassure us he has settled in and was enjoying himself. Fiona happily accommodated his raw food and ample freezer space to store his entire stay. He was made to feel at home with special treats and being able to snuggle up on the sofa. The property is a dream come true for humans, never mind their best friends and we think Beau was reluctant to return to his usual city living. He’s already provisionally booked back in, we just hope Fiona has space for when he returns for a dip in the burn and a suntan on the porch beanbag.
Fiona has been absolutely fantastic with our dogs before! They always come home happy and healthy, they are always well loved and looked after by Fiona and her other dogs. They have a brilliant space for the dogs to run around and thrive which is perfect! Fiona has a great routine with the dogs allowing them plenty of time to be out the house and interacting with other dogs. Would not hesitate to book Fiona again for the future!

Schedule
I work from home so I’m around all day. Dogs are constantly in and out the house with me checking livestock and going on long walks in the woods and secure field. There’s also a stream for water lovers!
