About Shona

Hello, my name is Shona and for as long as I can remember, dogs have been my passion and joy. Since 2019 I have been lucky enough to be living my dream – looking after pets everyday, by offering Full-Time Boarding, Walking, Drop-in and Sitting Pet Services.

With over 10 years of hands-on experience working closely with dogs, I have 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. This upbringing ignited my passion for dogs and prompted me to pursue a certification in Level 4 Canine Welfare, Diplomas in Dog Behavior, Level 3 Doggy Day Care and Canine First Aid.

Through this certification, I have honed my skills in providing top-rated care and emergency assistance to our furry companions. My diverse background and expertise make me a dedicated and knowledgeable individual in the realm of taking care and working with animals.

I've got a spacious 4 bed home with huge garden & with no kids around, your furry companions will have all the space they need to play and relax. I understand the stress of being away from your dog and assure owners with regular updates, including videos and photos

When it comes to Dog Walking it isn't just a part of my job – I genuinely enjoy it as a pastime. So, your dogs will not only get the exercise they need but also the enjoyment of exploring the outdoor with someone who truly loves being out and about ( but also loves activities, cuddles and play time at home, for those less needing of long walks. )

I'm open to multiple prior meets so owners and pets feel rest assured the fit it right for all whilst at ease knowing; I am qualified, insured and all pets are treated like family during their time with me!

Looking forward to meeting you and my new furry friend 🙂

Shona was amazing with Luna, really friendly and warm. Shona sent multiple updates throughout the day and plenty of pictures, I was at ease knowing Luna was happy and comfortable 😊

Shona and her partner looked after my German Shepherd Kaji in her home. I was a bit apprehensive at first using this app for the first time but Shona made the whole experience easy from allowing us to meet her first to see if Kaji was ok with her ( she hasn’t stayed with anyone apart from family before). Everything from communication to caring and nurturing for our Kaji was 5 out 5 service. Shona sent us updates every day whether it was photos or videos it made us smile each day knowing Kaji was happy being looked after. A lovely space in her house and a lovely large garden too!

Everything that Kaji likes was accommodated to make her feel like home.

Words can’t express how happy we are and how happy Kaji was (that she even tried to go back to their home upon pick up ;)) we know we have Shona in the future to book should we need to again! Thanks again Shona !
