I’ve had cats and dogs all my life so is second nature to me to play with and walk them. I’m a student so happy to work around my schedule to do day visits, evenings and weekends.

Safety, trust & environment

Very happy to be guided by the owner on what the pet enjoys, where they like to go, if they are nervous around new people to know how to approach them etc. I like to do meet and greets as much as possible to make sure everyone is happy before going ahead with bookings.

Iona was absolutely brilliant with our rescue dog Buddy! She was happy to follow our care booklet and always kept us up to date with photos and updates.

Iona is great. Very friendly and so patient with my cat. Kept me well up to date with lots of lovely photos and videos. Felt very reassured my cat was in very safe hands with Iona. Would definitely recommend and use Iona again.

5-Star Review: An Absolute Joy and Peace of Mind! We cannot recommend Iona highly enough! From start to finish, her service was absolutely excellent. Her communication was flawless throughout our time away, keeping us entirely at ease. Before we even left, Iona took the time to ask detailed questions about our dog's specific likes, dislikes, and routines. This preparation made a massive difference, helping our dog feel secure and settled in our absence. It is completely obvious that Iona genuinely loves spending time with dogs. She went above and beyond with fun activities to keep our pup happy and engaged. We returned home to a thoroughly content dog and a house left in the condition we left it.Thank you so much, Iona, for your incredible care! We will absolutely be booking you for all of our future dog sitting needs and confidently recommend you to anyone looking for excellent pet care in their home.

Iona took care of my cat for a week and she was brilliant throughout. Her updates and reports were great, and I felt completely confident in her ability to look after my cat while I was away. I would definitely recommend her and she will be the first person I contact the next time I need a cat sitter

Schedule

I am a medical student, I spend most of my placement in GP so we have set sessions so I have a rough idea of lunch breaks and can easily work around it, especially if you live close to me. Also happy for early mornings, evenings and weekends

Cats
0 to 7 kg
7 to 18 kg
18 to 45 kg
over 45 kg
Iona can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
I would like to know what they enjoy, what makes them anxious, what they eat, how long they tend to be walked for, their meal times, how they are around other dogs, where roughly you live as it doesn’t tell me beforehand, and if it’s for house sitting how long can they be left for to know if I can go to uni when looking after them
