About
Greetings! I'm excited to introduce Dog Days Down Under, a pet-sitting service that brings my passion for animals to Perth City. Services include dog walks, puppy check-ins, and holiday care for your furry friends, and ensuring the safety of your home while you're away.
I have had the pleasure of caring for a diverse range of animals, including dogs, cats, horses, gerbils, guinea pigs, and reptiles since I was a child.
Dog Day's journey began in Aberdeen, Scotland in 2008 when I volunteered to walk a neighbour's dog. This experience ignited my passion for pet care.
With over 150 dogs and a range of cats under my care over the years, I understand the importance of providing love and attention to pets while their owners are away.
Various services are offered to cater to you and your pets' unique needs, including solo walks for anxious pets, group walks for sociable ones, and dedicated companionship for shy pets.
Services also include feeding, medication, pet collection, and mail and bin collection.
A complimentary, no-obligation meet-and-greet in your home is available to discuss a plan that suits your pet's individual needs.
At Dog Days Down Under, I treat your pets like my own and I am always available to assist you. Contact me today to discuss how I can help you care for your furry companions while you're away.
A little About My Services
Whether a one-off booking or a regular booking, I can offer a plan to suit both your pets and your needs.
Solo dog walks offer older or anxious dogs a chance to enjoy time outside.
Group dog walks promote socialisation among dogs, allowing them to develop social skills and form new friendships with other dogs.

I have only known Fiona for about a month, but from the moment I met her, she has been very professional, friendly, trustworthy and efficient!
My dog Ralphy loves her, and every time I come home from work, he is very chilled, and I can notice he has had the full hour of exercise needed.
Fiona goes above and beyond and really has a true love for animals. I highly recommend her to anybody needing someone to walk or house sit your furry friend.

Fiona is lovely and friendly and cares about your fur babies as if they were her own. I am so happy we found someone to visit and look after Daisy when we need. Highly recommend her services.
Julie Craig recommends Dog Days Down Under on the 14th September 23.
Fiona looked after my psycho Border collie and my grumpy cat many times whilst we were on holiday. We knew our pets were in safe hands and we could relax without worrying about them. We always returned to a clean house and happy pets!
Tom Lobban recommends Dog Days Down Under on the 14th of September.
"Fiona looked after my two pooches on occasion and also walked them daily. She was always polite and never messed you around like some of the other dog walkers. She also house-sat my mum's 5 dogs and all were happy. 5* all day long!"
Suzanne Christie recommends Dog Days Down Under on the 14th Sep 23
Fiona was my dog walker here in Scotland. My GSD loved her, always professional and with a huge knowledge of dog (animal) behaviour. I would highly recommend and good luck down under.
Sam Dukes recommends Dog Days Down Under on the 21st Sep 23.
If you are reading this, considering Fiona as walking your dog or looking after your pet, I'm very jealous and you're very lucky to have her in Australia. Fiona looked after my pets while I went on holidays. Although stating on her ad she was a dog walker, she also would take care of my cats and even took care of our 2 rabbits. When I wasn't able for a number of months, Fiona would do weekly dog walks with my 2 dogs. Fiona was completely trustworthy, and I never doubted giving her a house key and being in charge of my home. She's very friendly, polite, dedicated, professional, warm, and kind. My animals loved her, as did myself and the kids. Your pet will be in the best hands. We miss her. Australia, you are very lucky.
