Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
I booked Joanne, very last minute to look after my dog Oakley the following day. She was very accommodating and let us meet up beforehand to make that my dog got along well with her own dog. Her lovely dog Snuggles played brilliantly with mine and they instantly became friends. Needless to say Oakley had the best day, Joanne took them for long walks, gave Oakley treats ( after checking it was OK) and sent lots of updates to reassure me throughout the day. She dropped Oakley back home which was really helpful and he was happy and exhausted! I have already recommend Joanne to friends, as she really did go above and beyond, despite my last minute booking.
We were really happy with Jo. Our cat liked her instantly and they bonded really well while we were away. We received regular updates and we could see our pet felt safe and relaxed at all times. The house was left in pristine condition, too! Thank you, Jo!
Joanne is beyond wonderful. I had an emergency and needed urgent help to be away from home, and my 3 doggies, for a week. Joanne arrived within a few hours, quickly got up to speed regarding the dogs routine, medicine, walking and food habits. All dogs immediately liked her, her kind loving nature was evident from the start. She kept me up to date frequently with video's, messages and photos. I could see my dogs were so happy with her. And she collected medicine from the vet for me. Thank you Joanne, you were a life saver and looked after my fur family like they were your family.
Jo was great. She took the time to meet our puppy before the day she was puppy sitting and was really careful to understand her routine, food etc. Communication was great and she sent lovely photos during the day so we could see that the puppy was having fun. See you again soon, Jo!
Joanne was very good with Kobi. She checked in with me during the day and sent photos. She was very flexible with drop off and pick up and her communication was excellent.
Brilliant service. She’s friendly, trustworthy and flexible, with a host of household and pet services in one, bonus our animals and kids absolutely love her. I can highly recommend Jo
