About Shona

Hello, My name is Shona, a dog lover based in Kenton, Harrow. For as long as I can remember, dogs have been my passion and joy, and since 2019, I have been lucky enough to be living my dream – looking after pets full-time every day by offering Licensed Boarding, Day Care, Walking, and Drop-in Pet Services.

I have over 10 years of hands-on experience working closely with dogs and developed a profound understanding of these wonderful animals. Growing up alongside a family member who bred dogs, I gained invaluable insights into their behavior and needs throughout all their stages off life. This upbringing ignited my passion for dogs and prompted me to pursue a qualification in Level 4 Canine Welfare, Diplomas in Dog Behaviour, Level 3 Doggy Day Care

I've got a spacious 4 bed home with huge garden which where I live with just my partner (who is as much as an animal lover as myself) and with no kids around, your dog will have all the space they need to play and relax.

**Services Offered:**

**In-Home Boarding:** Your dog will enjoy a home away from home in my spacious 4-bedroom house with a huge garden. With no children around, your dog will have all the space they need to play and relax. As a full time role, this ensures your pet gets the utmost care and attention.

**Doggy Daycare:** Perfect for busy pet parents, my daycare service provides a safe and stimulating environment for your dog during the day. Activities include walks, playtime in the garden, social interaction, and plenty of cuddles.

**Dog Walking:** Walking isn’t just part of my job – it’s a pastime I genuinely enjoy. Your dog will get the exercise they need while exploring the outdoors with someone who loves being out and about.

**Drop-In Visits:** Ideal for cats, other small pets and puppies or larger dogs who don't need a full walk. I’ll visit your home to feed, play with, and check on your pets, providing the care and attention they need.

Please note; I completely understand the stress of being away from your dog and assure owners with frequent updates throughout the day via videos and photos.

I am also open to multiple prior meets beforehand so owners and pets feel rest assured the fit is right for all.

**Experience and Skills:**

- Over 10 years of hands-on experience working closely with dogs.

- Grew up with a family member who bred dogs, gaining invaluable insights into their behavior and needs throughout all life stages.

- Qualified in Level 4 Canine Welfare, Diplomas in Dog Behaviour, Level 3 Doggy Day Care, and Canine First Aid.

- Experienced administering medication

- Qualified, licensed, insured, and passionate about treating all doggies like my family, your pet will be in safe and loving hands whilst with me.

If you have any questions or would like to schedule a meet-and-greet, feel free to contact me.

Looking forward to meeting you and my new furry friend 🙂

This was the first time I had asked Shona to look after my cats. She is very lovely and was such a great cat sitter. My cats are not entirely straightforward but she was really accommodating and also sent me great reports and photos from both of her visits. Highly recommend!
