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!

Information Fiona S. would like to know about your pet
As a pet care provider, it is crucial to gather essential information about your pets before taking on the responsibility of caring for them. Firstly, it is essential to know the pet's basic needs, such as their diet, exercise routine, and any medical conditions they may have. Understanding their grooming requirements, such as brushing, bathing, and nail trimming, is also crucial. Additionally, it is important to know their behavioral traits, such as any fears, anxieties, or aggression, which helps ensure their comfort and safety while in my care. Lastly, knowing their preferred toys, treats, and favorite activities will help create an environment that keeps the pet happy and engaged.
A typical day
As a pet care provider, my primary goal is to ensure that the pets in my care have a fun and enjoyable experience. I understand the importance of keeping dogs engaged, mentally stimulated, and physically active. Here are some of the exciting activities I would do with the pets I watch: 1. Indoor and outdoor games: Whether it's playing fetch, tug-of-war, or hide-and-seek, I will engage the dogs in a variety of interactive games both indoors and outdoors. This will keep them mentally stimulated and encourage their natural instincts. 2. Nature hikes and walks: Exploring the great outdoors is a fantastic way to provide dogs with exercise and mental enrichment. I will take them on scenic nature trails, parks, and nearby green spaces for invigorating walks and hikes in nature. 3. Enrichment and puzzle toys: To challenge their minds and prevent boredom, I will provide dogs with various enrichment toys and puzzle feeders. Doing so will stimulate their problem-solving skills and keep them mentally engaged during their stay. 4. Agility and obedience training: For dogs that enjoy a challenge or parents that want to continue their training journey, I will incorporate basic agility exercises and obedience training into their routine. This will help improve their coordination, focus, and bond with me, ultimately enhancing their overall behavior and manners. 5. Relaxation and cuddle time: Dogs also need relaxation and downtime. I will make sure to provide them with cozy, comfortable areas for resting and cuddling. Spending quality one-on-one time with each dog is important, ensuring they feel loved and cared for throughout their stay. 6. Personalized activities: Every dog is unique, with different preferences and energy levels. I will tailor activities and games to suit each dog's personality and needs. Whether it's a game of frisbee or practicing tricks, I will adjust my approach to each individual dog. By providing a variety of fun and engaging activities, I will strive to make the experience for the pets I watch both enjoyable and fulfilling. Their well-being and happiness will be my utmost priority as their pet care friend!
