Dog walkies in Brum

Pet care experience

Hello my name is Iona, I am a passionate dog lover, who has recently lost her beautiful cocker spaniel, Leia, so would love the opportunity to look after other peoples’ dogs as I miss having a fury companion. I am about to finish my medical degree at the University of Birmingham and start work as a junior doctor in August. I’m hoping to still have the opportunity to look after dogs on days off and weekends. I love the outdoors and going on long walks (I am used to the highlands of Scotland!) but equally love having down time with lots of cuddles with four legged friends! Happy to meet dogs before bookings (at no extra cost) so you have an idea of who I am and see whether my myself and your pooch get on!

Iona is excellent, providing great care for our dog. She was very thoughtful too, keep us posted on how our dog was settling in and eating dinner at her house. A lovely kind touch, it gave us reassurance and peace of mind. She’s very reliable and a pleasure to know. We look forward to her occasionally caring for our dog for many years hopefully.

Iona was absolutely fantastic. She was patient and lovely even when our puppy didn’t want to make friends with her at first.

I would hugely recommend Iona, she’s fantastic! Our dog had a lovely time while we were away. We could relax as Iona kept us updated :)

Right from the initial meet and greet with Iona, i cld tell what a huge dog-lover she is and what safe hands my adored old cocker spaniel, jess, wld be in. Iona wasn't even fussed when jess had a tiny wee in entrance hall!! Iona was friendly and welcoming, obviously very capable and conscientious. Jess was very happy after her 2 nights with Iona, and her housemates, exploring the local dog-friendly coffee houses and having long walks. I highly recommend Iona and will not hesitate to book her in the future. Regards pamela higson-smith
