I have had cats since 1975 and dogs since 1979 (rough collies & border collies). I have looked after dogs & cats from birth to death and am not scared of blood and gore.

Joan was really lovely and I felt really safe leaving our cocker spaniel whilst we attended an event on holiday that didn't allow dogs. Thanks so much and would definately book again

Joan is a lovely lady. My cat is quite particular in her routine and Joan met all her needs. She came to visit before we went away and got to know her. Joan looked after her very well and kept me updated. . Highly recommend.

Joan was like a superhero in a cape for us. After an impossible night with Betty in our tent at a campsite we realised for the sanity of the whole family and her own comfort we’d need betty to stay somewhere else. At *very* short notice Joan said she’d be willing to help. She lives in a beautiful location and was so calm and reassuring in being able to take Betty, nothing phased her and I think everyone benefitted from her being able to give Betty a much more comfortable night that one in our campsite (which was far too exciting for her)
