Trustworthy caring safe jolly and loving home

Pet care experience

We will give your dog a loving home from home stay with us. It will never be left on its own. It will enjoy the comfort of a sofa unless you would rather it didn’t! So there will be a few pub trips involved and the odd fish and chip suppers down on the beach. We have both had dogs all our lives. We have on numerous occasions looked after friends and family dogs. I have looked after cats and other animals in the past. We have also bred with our dogs in the past. We have at times taken our dogs to puppy classes and dog training classes. Our dogs are rarely left alone even though we are now both at home full time. We both have a deep connection and affection for all animals, which has accumulated in being actively involved in pig farrowing and helping a mother donkey give birth out in the forest where we live. We have never placed our dogs into kennels as we think being in a home is a far more happy and less stressful experience for the animal itself. Neither of us work so pet care isn’t a problem for us. We love to walk daily on either the beach or in the forest where we live. Our pets love the garden which is fully enclosed we do not live near a road as we are on a residential park. Our dogs like nothing more in the winter then laying in front of the log burner or being on the sofa with us.

Fabulous sitters! Sent plenty of pictures and videos or Codi during his stay. It was very obvious he was happy and felt like a real home from home. Very obvious that Joanne is a true dog lover and made us feel very reassured that Codi was in safe hands

Joanne and Michael were absolutely wonderful!! They looked after my working cocker Scout like she was their own. Scout was happy from the word go and I had no worries whatsoever! Would definitely recommend Joanne and will definitely use her again. Many thanks Micky

Joanne and her husband are the perfect dog sitters, warm, friendly, accommodating, nothing is too much trouble. I had no concerns at all leaving Fleur with them both. I got updates whilst she was with them for the day and she came home happy and tired after a day of fun. Highly recommend, would 100% use again. Thank you again so so much.

Eddie appears to have had a wonderful time at Joanne and Michael's comfortable home and garden, so much so, we don't think he wanted to come home with us ! We received regular photos and updates from them throughout Eddies stay, which was very reassuring. I would not hesitate to use again and can highly recommend Joanne and Michael. We look forward to using them again in the future.

We would like to know if your dog has any special needs or requirements prior to their stay with us i.e. special diet, no treats, always keep it on a lead, loves to swim or not, hates squirrels etc. allergies or medication needs to be given

A typical day

During the winter we love those long walks in the forest where we live or on the beach nearby - we take our dogs for walks everyday. When we get home the dogs are brushed and towelled off if necessary and given a treat, they are normally then very content to go in their respective beds for a well earned snooze
