Bob & Friends Dog Walking Adventures
Pet care experience
Bob & Friends Dog Walking Adventures Experienced Reliable Insured 1st aid trained Secure country fields Outdoor doggy daycare Pick up and drop off service Local Group walks (up to 4 max) and solo walks available aswell I've always had dogs and small pets from a young age and have been a massive part of my life! We have also recently adopted our 2year old Labradoodle Bob who has a great temperament and loves making new friends! I have gained alot of experience working for well established doggy daycares with a large variety of breeds and needs and many different duties ready to put me in good stead to set Bob & Friends up full time. I have experience with well socialised dogs as well as doggos that are not so keen on others with solo boarding and walking. I also have experience with dogs of varying ages and abilities and cater for them whatever they need, every pupper deserves lots of loving and scritch scrotches!! I am currently studying for a Level 3 Canine Care, Behaviour and Welfare Ofqual qualification to enhance my knowledge in the field and to give our furry friends the best possible care. I would care for pets in my home as if they are my own, however still respecting owners instructions on any particular care for their furry baby. I have a communal fenced garden that will be used for toilet breaks when we are snuggling or playing indoors in the warm. Throughout the day we will have adventure trip to Epping forest, Wanstead Flats and sometimes hire an enclosed dog field to keep it nice and fun and stimulating with different places to sniff snoff around. I enjoy taking doggos to the beach for the day too and get out of London, with owners permission and circumstances allowing of course, I don't know who enjoys it more , me or the dogs!? I am currently studying Canine Care, Behaviour & Welfare Ofqual level 3 (Will have dog first aid training soon, currently I am a human first aider!)
Reviews
Jo was amazing with our Dog. In a nutshell: A excellent and responsible dog walking company. Reason why I would recommend Jo highly: - Jo won my dog over within 5 minutes, he is generally quite nervous around new people. - You can see she has a natural ability with dogs and cares a lot about dogs - She came to the house before hand to see what our dog was like and answered my many questions; helping to put my mind at ease. - Very professional and reliable - She took our dog out to different parks/forest. -Jo picks and up and drops off at our home in a made for purpose vehicle. -Our dog was very happy when he knew he was being taken for a walk with Jo. - Our dog came back happy every-time. -Sent photos of his walks. - Our dog did the private sessions but we found that he enjoyed the group session better as that suited him - it was nice to have this option and mix it when we wanted. - we did a adventure day and will definitely be doing more - he came back very happy and very tired!
Angus had a lovely sleepover with Joanna, plenty of walks and even a bath when he rolled in something nasty...
We feel so lucky to have found Joanna! Our Pomsky had an incredibly fun week with her, with lots of outdoor adventures, playdates and wonderful care. We really enjoyed her regular picture and message updates. This is the longest we have left our dog with someone else, but with Joanna's level of care I had nothing to worry about. She is kind, attentive and in tune with the dogs needs. Wouldn't hesitate to use her again - thanks so much Joanna we're so grateful for the care you gave our boy :)
Joanna and her partner were amazing with my 14 month old dog! He's such a handful but they took it all on board and took great care of him. Joanna sent lots of photos and regular updates throughout his stay and he came back a happy boy. They took him on two great walks and sent me videos of them having fun. I would definitely recommend and will be booking again.

Information Joanna v. would like to know about your pet
Please ensure your doggos are up to date with vaccines and flea treatments. Let me know if your dog has any special needs that I need to take into account, do they have any health condition I need to keep an eye on / alter exercise for or any medication to administer? Have they ever shown resource guarding/ aggression around food/toys etc if so please let me know the circumstances. Has your dog ever bitten another dog/ human if so please let me know the circumstances. Do they get on with other dogs? Has your pet been neutered/ spayed? If your female is not spayed when was she last in season? Any habit I need to be aware of? Any sensitive areas? DO THEY LIKE BELLY RUBS?
A typical day
Dog Walking Adventure Days At Bob & Friends we understand first hand life can be quite hectic at times. New job, new baby, school runs, shift work, illnesses and so much more. Just not having the time to give your dog the exercise and mental stimulation they need or worried your not giving them enough. We've all been there. Let us take the some of the strain and give your pooch the adventure and fulfilment they so desire. We will pick your dog up from your home in the morning between 0800-0900 approx, take them in our pawsome, dog friendly, air conditioned doggy van to one of our secure countryside locations for 2-3 hours of off leash fun, where they can sniff, run, socialise and play with the rest of the Bob & Friends pack! We will wash down your pup if they have got muddy and mucky prior to leaving the fields and give them their lunch if they have it. Your happy and tired pooch will then be dropped back home around 1400-1500hrs, where they can curl up on the sofa and dream sweet dreams of all the fun they had that day. ​ Please note: All dogs will undergo a free meet and greet prior to joining Bob & Friends. Dogs joining Bob & Friends must be up to date with vaccinations and flea & worming treatments. ​
