Highlights
Pet care experience
Round the clock care for your pets
I have grown up with dogs my whole life and have experience with dogs from 1 year old to 18 years old. I’ve also always had a variety of other pets including cats, rabbits, Guinea pigs, hamsters, chinchillas and even Giant African Land Snails. I have even featured as a rescuer on Channel 4’s Dog Rescuers. Unfortunately due to the nature of my job as international cabin crew it is no longer possible for me to have pets of my own so I am pouring all my love for animals into looking after other people’s pets and making sure they feel right at home in my care. Offering a loving home away from home environment where your pets can feel safe, comfortable, and truly cared for while you are away. As a member of cabin crew I bring a calm, caring and compassionate nature. I am trained to stay calm during any number of situations and this transfers easily to the care of animals. I have standard and enhanced DBS certificates due to my job as well as through tutoring which I have been doing alongside my work. I live with my husband Matt, in a lovely home with a fenced, secure garden which has both grass and patio areas and we live adjacent to fields and the bus route for save walking routes. I’m also an avid runner and love having company on runs for those pets that would prefer extra exercise.

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Joanna has loved dogs and cats for as long as I have known her. She has been a previous owner of both and is one of the most caring people I know and takes amazing care of any and all animals. Joanna has helped look after my cat Ursa a number of times and I am sure Ursa much prefers her over myself. I know Ursa is always going to be fussed over and cared for exceptionally well. This has also been evident when I have witnessed her looking after others dogs recently. If you are thinking of choosing Joanna to look after your pets you won’t go wrong!
Jo and Matt have looked after our corgi Winston several times now, including overnight stays, and we couldn’t be happier with them. Winston absolutely loves them and is always so excited to see them! They take him on lovely walks, give him lots of attention, and he always has the best time. Jo and Matt are such lovely, caring people and we feel completely comfortable leaving Winston with them. They’ve helped us out so much on several occasions, and it’s such a relief knowing he’s in such good hands. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them!
Joanna is absolutely wonderful with my fur baby Dolly. She is caring, kind and trustworthy, and Dolly is always so happy and excited to see her. It’s clear how much Joanna genuinely loves animals, and I feel completely confident leaving Dolly in her care. She gives her lots of attention, affection and fuss, and I know Dolly is always in safe and loving hands. I couldn’t recommend Joanna enough! ❤️

Schedule
I am on a part time roster so every fourth week is a week off. When I am in work, my typical working block would be 3-4 days away and then 2-3 days off at home without any other commitments. This means I am able to commit completely to looking after and playing with your dog on my available days.

Safety, trust & environment
I have a secure, fenced back garden where your dog can roam freely and have areas nearby for safe walking routes away from main roads.
