Pet care experience

Best pet carer 🐶🐱🐰

I have grown up with dogs since I was 15yo as my mom has been rescuing animals for many years. At many times there have been more cats and dogs in my family (both rescues and puppies) than humans with the current ratio being 12 to 7! Since moving to London almost 20 years ago I have volunteered for Mayhew Animal Home and Celia Hammond Animal Trust for many years taking care of cats, dogs and bunnies. I also work with dogs at home in my job as a nanny. I have experience with almost all breeds, different ages and health conditions. I can administer medication. I love walks and play time and see each dog as an individual:)

We have just come back from a weeks holiday. We were kept up to date about Ruby which made it easier to make us feel at ease. The flat was also spotless when we arrived home.

Joanna is amazing! I'd just moved to London two days before and needed a dog sitter so I could attend a wedding. The flat was still mostly unpacked and Ruby had only just made the journey over to London, so I was understandably a bit apprehensive about leaving her so soon. None of this was an issue for Joanna who was very flexible and understanding. She had a call with me in advance to go through everything, and even came to meet Ruby briefly the day before, which made such a difference. Joanna's communication throughout was exceptional with regular updates, and photos that immediately put my mind at ease. I was able to actually enjoy the wedding I was attending rather than spending the whole time worrying about how Ruby was getting on. It's clear she genuinely really loves animals, and We will not hesitate to book again 😊 Thank you so much Joanna!

Joanna was wonderful with our boys! She kept us informed and looked after our boys so well during our week away. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for house sitting their pets :)

Joanna was lovely - we had a meet and greet beforehand and she really met the challenge of keeping a 5 month old spaniel happy! Suki was delighted and we’ve already booked Joanna again!

Second time booking Joanna, and she was incredible looking after Coco for two weeks! Since Coco is a reactive dog who needs special attention on walks, Joanna’s patient, calm nature was exactly what she needed to feel completely at ease. Joanna sent daily photo and video updates, which we loved. She truly cares about animals and loves what she does. We couldn't ask for a better sitter!

I would like to know the pet’s preferences, energy levels, likes and dislikes and a bit about their personality so I can cater to all needs and create a safe and fun bond with them.
