Pet care experience

Long-time dog owner and lover.

I’ve looked after dogs since I was a child. Growing up, I have always been around dogs and was responsible for walking, grooming and feeding my family dogs. Since moving to London I have consistently looked after friends’ dogs and dogs on dog sitting apps. I am confident walking dogs on and off-lead, and love spending time with them.

Iona did a great job of looking after Rocco. Unfortunately he was very poorly at the time with gut issues but that didn’t phase Iona. She was very commutative throughout and sent plenty of pictures. Thanks Iona for taking such great care of Rocco and would definitely book again!

Iona is an absolutely wonderful pet owner and sitter. She has taken great care of my dogs (both small and large) and I know I can trust her to look after them and show them love when I’m not around. She has many family pets of her own who are very happy and well trained which I think is a huge green flag in a pet sitter! I am certain Iona will be an amazing pet sitter for you as she is for me!

Iona J. is an exceptional individual who I've had the pleasure of knowing for several years. Not only is she an animal lover, but she has also cared for my pets on multiple occasions. Iona's genuine affection for animals is evident in the way she treats them with kindness, patience, and respect. Her experience and knowledge in pet care ensure that she provides safe and loving care to furry companions under her watch. In addition to her passion for animals, Iona has a remarkable commitment to providing excellent customer service. She is incredibly reliable, always going the extra mile to ensure the needs of both pets and their owners are met. Her communication skills are top-notch, as she takes the time to understand each pet's unique requirements and keeps pet owners informed with regular updates, photos, and even customized care plans. Iona J. is an awesome human being not only because of her love for animals and her dedication to exceptional care, but also because of her genuine compassion and empathy towards both pets and people. Her warm and friendly nature puts both pets and their owners at ease, creating a trusting and positive environment. I can confidently say that entrusting your pets to Iona would result in an experience filled with love, safety, and outstanding customer service.

Iona has taken care of my dog Honey a few times and Honey loves her. She provides excellent care and always sends me lots of photo updates which is appreciated. It's always nice to feel like your dog is in safe hands and I always have that feeling of security when Honey is with Iona. I can highly recommend her for her dedication, dog love and long walks that leave Honey too tired to bother me!

Iona is a dog lover through and through, I have two whippets who she has looked after more times than I can count. She is absolutely amazing with them and they can be a bit of a handful! One can be a bit reactive on walks and Iona has always managed this so well, I have complete trust in her.
