Safety, trust & environment
At home, I provide a safe, clean, and calm space where pets feel comfortable and loved. I follow consistent routines for feeding, grooming, and exercise, tailored to each pet’s needs. Their well-being is always my first priority. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I aim to keep things as familiar and stress-free as possible. I follow your routines closely and give your pet plenty of attention, playtime, and comfort while you’re away—so they feel safe and secure until you return.
Information Fiona S. would like to know about your pet
Before caring for your pet, I like to get to know their basic needs—like diet, exercise, and any medical conditions or medications. It’s also helpful to know their grooming routine and any behaviors to look out for, like fears, anxiety, or reactivity. Lastly, tell me what makes them happy! Favorite toys, treats, and activities help me make them feel right at home.
A typical day
A typical day with me is full of care, structure, and fun! I currently have a dachshund-miniature pinscher mix puppy and a longhaired calico cat, so I’m used to balancing very different needs—plus I’m actively training my puppy, which has taught me a lot about patience and consistency. I also grew up with big dogs like mastiffs, labs, and pit bulls, along with multiple cats (indoor, outdoor, and somewhere in between), so I’m comfortable with animals of all sizes and temperaments. When I’m visiting or watching pets, I focus on giving them the right mix of play, exercise, attention, and downtime based on their energy and comfort levels. Whether it’s walks, games, training, or cozy time on the couch, I love making sure every pet feels happy, safe, and loved throughout the day.

Your trusted fur baby caregiver!
Pet care experience
My life long passion for animals and years of hands-on experience uniquely qualifies me as your pets caregiver. I’ve grown up with at least six animals at a time which provided an in-depth understanding of their needs. My professional journey in petcare began with working at a doggy daycare. Where I honed my skills and knowledge in handling a wide range of breeds and personalities. From feeding and grooming to playtime in administrating medication’s, I quickly became adapt at the full spectrum of responsibilities that come with pet care. What truly set me apart is my genuine connection with animals. Your pets aren’t just clients, they are cherished companions. With me they receive the love and attention they deserve, backed by hours of experience and deep love for animals.
Reviews
Great communication, very kind and caring with our dog! Toby was very happy and very tired coming home after a few walking adventures around Normal. He was lucky to be able to spend time with Fiona!
I wanted to take a moment to highly recommend Fiona as a responsible and loving pet caregiver. I had the pleasure of having her petsit for my dog for a week, and I must say she went above and beyond. Fiona's dedication to taking care of animals is commendable. She genuinely cares for the well-being and happiness of every furry friend that comes her way. During the week she looked after my dog, she went the extra mile to ensure he was not only physically well cared for, but also received plenty of love, attention, and exercise. It gave me great peace of mind knowing that my dog was in such capable and caring hands. Moreover, Fiona has been a consistent dog walker for me and my four-legged companion for the past three years. Since I am elder I need a bit of extra help on days that weather is not good and rain or shine, she has never missed a scheduled walk and always arrives promptly with a warm smile. Her commitment and reliability have made her an integral part of our daily routine. I believe that anyone who entrusts their pet to Fiona will not be disappointed. She is not only responsible, but she also possesses a genuine love for animals that shines through in her care. I wholeheartedly recommend Fiona as a pet caregiver.
Fiona has been an employee of Bow Wow Meow Purrfessional Petcare as a DogWalker, pet sitter, pet bather, transport, dog treat baker and basically go to for any other pet needs I had. She's extremely responsible and most importantly loves animals. I would recommend her to care for anyone's pets!
