    About Shona

    Loving Care When You Can't Be There - Because Every Dog Deserves a Best Friend! 
At the heart of what I do is one simple belief: dogs are family. Whether you're heading to work, taking your weekend away, or simply needing a helping hand, I'm here to ensure your dog feels safe, happy and loved every step of the way. With over 15 years of experience living with and caring for dogs, I've developed a deep understanding of their needs, emotions, and unique personalities. Often called the "family vet" by those who know me, I have an avid interest in canine health and well-being.
I understand that leaving your furry friend behind isn't always easy - that's why I offer more than just service; I offer companionship, trust and genuine care. From peaceful walks to cosy cuddles, enriching playtime to attentive minding, every moment your dog spends with me is filled with comfort and kindness. I treat every pup like my own, learning their quirks, respecting their boundaries and celebrating their unique personalities. Because when you can't be there, you deserve peace of mind - and your dog deserves nothing less than the best. I am available to mind dogs IN THE DOGS HOME, (when minding is period longer than 2 days), if less than two days, I am more than happy to welcome and mind small dogs under 10kg in my home. Must be fully house trained. Long walks, gentle playtime, and lots of love guaranteed! Drop me a message if you’re looking for help with your pup — I’d be happy to chat! *** please note, as mentioned above, I only mind in the dogs home if you’re looking for minding longer than 2 days 🐾
