About Iona

I am a long time animal lover, having experience volunteering in animal shelters to watch over the animals, handle cleaning duties, and provide walks, as well as training behaviourally challenged shelter dogs. I am passionate about providing proper care to dogs, especially those with high energy needs. 

I have had much first-hand experience with both working breed and large dogs, and as such am well-prepared for handling dogs that many would consider challenging to walk. I have also cared for dogs with various behaviour issues, including jumping, leash aggression, resource guarding, and excessive barking, so I am additionally well able to cope with similar conflicts. 

I have skills in basic training for dogs through my experience volunteering at several animal shelters, as well as through training my own dogs. I am available to provide walks, home visits, as well as home sit. 

Depending on the needs of the pet, walks can range from 30 to 120 minutes in the area surrounding pickup. My availability typically lies during weekdays in the evening and afternoon. 

Home visits involve checking in on the pet and providing food, as well as taking the pet on a walk where requested. These visits can range from 30 minutes to 120 minutes, and from once to three times per day. Where home sitting is requested, I will be able to stay at the home from late afternoon to mornings. 

In the case of both home visits and home sitting, I can handle upkeep of plants as well as other household tasks such as bringing in the mail and taking in packages. Household security is extremely important to me, and as such I always ensure that all doors are locked and security systems armed at night and when leaving a house.
