Tails To Tell Pet Services
Hi! I’m an attentive, lifelong animal lover dedicated to making your pets feel safe, happy, and loved. I grew up surrounded by dogs, cats, and smaller pets like guinea pigs, and today I share my home with my two sweet cats, Ginny and Edie. Whether it is an energetic park walk, gentle small pet care, or quiet cuddles on the sofa, I am right in my element. I have been pet sitting and dog walking since 2023, and I recently left my career in education to focus on pet care full time. That means I have plenty of daytime flexibility, patience to spare, and complete focus to give your furry family members the routine and care they deserve, along with plenty of photo updates. When I am not spending time with four-legged friends, you will usually find me tucked into a good book or playing music, having studied music performance at university. I would love to help care for your pets. Feel free to get in touch for a chat or to arrange a meet and greet!

Safety, trust & environment
Safety, comfort, and building trust are my top priorities. I always offer a free meet and greet before any booking so your pet can get used to me in their familiar space and we can discuss their exact routine, quirks, and house rules. In your home, I ensure doors and gates stay secure, bowls are clean, and your space is treated with total care and respect. I give shy pets gentle patience and provide plenty of play and affection for energetic companions. On dog walks, safety comes first. Dogs remain safely on lead unless we have agreed otherwise in a secure, enclosed area, and I always stay alert to surroundings, weather, and other dogs. With my professional background in education, I bring reliability, calm patience, and clear communication to every visit, complete with regular photo updates for your peace of mind.
Ratings and reviews
Riona is a fantastic pet sitter. She cares a lot about the pets under her care. She kept us fully updated and took photos for us. She successfully gave my cat medication (who never takes it from new people). Would 100% recommend.
Rona was a wonderful catsitter who communicated excellently and provided a high standard of care and support for my cat. I absolutely recommend her to others.

Schedule
I have complete and open flexibility across the entire week, including weekends. Looking after pets is my central priority every day, which means I am never rushing between other workplaces or trying to squeeze visits into tight time windows. My open schedule allows me to easily tailor walks, drop-ins, and feeding times to match whatever routine your pets are accustomed to at home. Whether your dog needs a dedicated lunchtime walk, your cat needs unhurried company and play in the morning, or you need reliable visits while travelling, I can readily accommodate your schedule and give your pets my complete, focused attention.

- We will cover all of this in detail during our free meet and greet, but it is always helpful to know a few key things in advance so I can prepare the best possible care for your pet: -Daily routine and feeding: Usual meal times, portion sizes, dietary requirements, and favourite treats. -Health and medical care: Any ongoing conditions, medication schedules, and your registered vet details. -Temperament and personality: How they feel around new people or other animals, sensitive spots, and any fears like fireworks or loud noises. -Walking habits: Lead behaviour, energy levels, favourite routes, and any triggers to be mindful of outdoors. -House rules and comforts: Any off-limits areas, preferred sleeping spots, and favourite toys or routines that help them feel safe. Chatting through these details ensures your pet's routine stays completely seamless, comfortable, and stress-free from day one.
