Pet care experience

Pawsitively kind dog sitter/walker

I've taken care of dogs for most of my life, including nursing older dogs and adopted dogs with special needs. During the pandemic I volunteered for a dog rescue charity, which involved cleaning all cages, walking and playing with dogs with many different needs and traumas (including wheelies). I really enjoy walking and playing with dogs, often hiking and beach walking with my own. I presently have two small friendly dogs who enjoy company playing in our garden, or snoozing for long amounts of time.

Doggy Day Care • May 13, 2026

Jo and Tom are just absolutely amazing at caring for my pup Tobi. My little guy is no means an easy dog to care for and she made sure he always felt at home!

Jo & Tom have been a great help to our family the last 6 months or so. They have treated Gromit like one of their own, gave him routine, and helped him improve his play and social skills with the other dogs. Highly recommend their care.

We boarded our Dobby (dog) with Jo Tom during a family crisis. They treated him with the same level of love and care as they do their own. They sent daily pics and updates. Communicated with us clearly and without delay. He was comfortable, confident, safe, healthy, and happy with them. I highly recommend Jo and Tom for doggy day care and stay care. Jo. Thank you so very much. It was a huge relief knowing that our precious boy was safe with you.

We love Jo! We are always at peace knowing Nairobi is very well taken care of. We feel like she understands her personality very well. And we never have to ask for pics nor updates because she promptly send us beautiful ones every morning and every night. Thank you Jo!

Jo is extremely communicative towards the pawrents and loving toward the pups. We definitely appreciate all the photos of our pup and the reports at the end of the day. I would 100% their services as their space is lovely and the care is exceptional!

Schedule

I am an artist who works at home, so have a flexible timetable for the majority of the time, and can give dogs time to play and relax whilst they are 'on holiday' with us. My husband also really enjoys looking after dogs and is on hand in the weekend and evenings for dog walking duty and snuggles.
