Highlights
Pet care experience
Iona & Molly are bubbly, medical students!
Hi! We are two third year postgraduate medical student living in Glasgow along with Ionas boyfriend (Sam), who’s a doctor. We've both been around dogs since we were very young, and they’ve been a huge part of out lives ever since. Growing up surrounded by them has made us both truly understand their personalities, needs, and the joy they bring to a home. We are both outdoorsy people who love running, walking, and spending time in nature, so energetic dogs who love long walks or playtime are always welcome! That said, we're just as comfortable caring for more relaxed or older dogs who prefer a slower pace and plenty of cuddles.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
Although we are in a top floor flat we have a fenced garden suitable for dogs (as other tenants within the flat block have dogs). We also live a very short walk from numerous parks and fields. Along with this We both have cars to drive to more outside areas as well! Ionas boyfriend does live in my flat but he’s a full time resident Doctor so it will be just Molly and Iona looking after your pet !
Ratings and reviews
Iona looked after Lena at short notice and took the time to do a meet and greet beforehand, which I really appreciated as Lena’s an anxious girl. Thank you!
Iona and Molly were brilliant. So kind and accommodating to me, it was my first time using a dog sitter so I was a little nervous but having seen how they both were with Maisie I knew she was in safe hands. Would highly recommend!
First time leaving our Pup and she could not have been in more caring hands. So happy with the care she’s been shown and the updates. Would not hesitate to book again.
Iona and Molly were fantastic sitters. I needed their help very last minute and they were so generous to accommodate us. I always feel a bit teary leaving my dog anywhere, but my mind was totally put at ease by their warm welcome. My old gal Bonnie had a fantastic time and even though she struggled with the stairs, the girls were more than happy to help her up and down. I received photo and message updates throughout Bonnie’s stay and would gladly book a sleepover with Iona and Molly again for her. Thanks so much from both Bonnie and I xx
Iona was very patient with my daisy as she has never been left with people she doesn't know. Iona kept me up to date while away and how daisy was I would book again if going away
I didn’t expect my review to include “Buachaille (my dog) was featured on the front page of the Scotsman on a NYD hill-walk”, but there we go. I booked with Iona based on the outdoorsy life-style akin to what Bu is used to. Iona and her partner Sam are super lovely and could see he settled in instantly. Comms were absolutely spot on and knew he was in safe hands, Iona was very flexible with drop-offs and other timings. Thanks guys and have a lovely 2026. He’ll be back!
