Doggy companions wanted!

Hi there! My name is Jo and I’m a natural animal person. Kind and affectionate, I have always been the go-to person for family and friends to entrust with their special friends when going away or on holiday and they always have a whale of a time with me. I always treat them as if they’re my own. I have experience with a range of breeds and ages- from Lurchers to Chihuahuas to Pomskis. If you have a high energy dog, I’d be more than happy to have a good play session in the park with them or take them on a jog with me if they like to run! Or if you have a calm-natured or more timid doggo, I’d happily provide all the affection, patience and attention they require. I’m also a cat mum to a sassy and playful boy Oreo who loves making fellow fur friends. I I work full time (although flexible hours), so my core availability will be evenings, weekends and holidays such as Bank Holidays and happy to spend those times with your doggy companions. I have a garden flat so your pet will have access to immediate outdoor space as well as beautiful Upminster Park a short walk away. I have two lovely boys who are 12 upwards- they have a whole host of experience of looking after pets just like their mum, so will provide extra dose of love and attention without being needy.

Jo was absolutely amazing. Ramses is quite shy but really took to her. We got plenty of pictures and came home to a very happy cat. We weren't worried at all whilst we were away.

Jo was fantastic with our cats. They both took to her quickly and it was lovely receiving pictures of them every day. We had problem in our house while we were away and Jo helped us to resolve it. Will definitely book her again.

Joanne is a lovely lady with a calm manner and I felt instantly she was the right person to trust to look after our cats. While we were away she sent me updates daily including pictures. When we arrived home the cats were clearly happy and I would definitely book Joanne to look after them again.

I'm delighted to have found Joanne to take care of my cat. She regularly sends me photos, and it's clear that Charlie enjoys being with her. Charlie is so relaxed around Joanne. I highly recommend her and will choose Joanne again next time.

Jo was absolutely amazing, so trustworthy. Never left Reggie with anyone other than friends so this was a big deal for our pup. He enjoyed himself so much, tbh he’s actually in a mood now because he’s left. Jo sent photos and updates every day! Lovely lady too! Will definitely be using her again soon.
