“Fiona looked after our 2 cats for a week while we were on holiday and we were so grateful. After only leaving them for 4 night previously we really needed to find someone we could trust and as soon as meeting Fiona we knew that we could. Although the cats are very shy Fiona kept us updated throughout. Thank you!”

About: I’ve had family dogs since I was 3 years old, looking after other family members and friends’ dogs and I have my own cocker spaniel puppy, so am more than happy to look after puppies! 😊 I work full time, but mainly from home. It isn’t a very demanding job, so I get a lot of time to spend with my dog. I have a fully fenced, secure, big back garden that my puppy runs and plays in constantly, lots of dog toys and tennis balls. There are 2 fields I go to regularly just round the corner from me, which is perfect walking distance in the hot weather especially as it’s not too far. My cocker is massively friendly and thrives off playing with others, more so the same age as him. He is also amazing with kids, I have a 5 year old daughter, so any dogs for daytime will need to be okay with young children.

“Brian dropped in on Norbert while we were at a wedding. I had complete confidence in Brian as he was very thorough in our meet and greet, asking many questions about what we needed. Communication was excellent and Brian sent lots of photos and videos of Norbert to put me at ease while I was away from home. Thank you so much.”
