Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced & caring-near fields
Sadly we lost our boy a year ago, so since then we have been looking after lots of doggies to get our fix of walks and cuddles. We both grew up with dogs and brought our children up to be dog lovers. We love taking our borrowed pets for lots of walks over the fields and playing with them in our garden. I have put 15 years of experience in my profile to reflect how long we have owned a dog together in this house. 45 years of dog loving makes me look far too old! We have been actively dog sitting since Harry died a year ago.

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Joanne and her husband were absolutely lovely and took such great care of our dog for 4 nights while we were on holiday. She was treated like part of the family and had lots of lovely walks in the surrounding countryside. We appreciated the regular photos and updates, and Joanne was so flexible and accommodating throughout. We wouldn’t hesitate to use her again!
Our spaniels had the best day with Joanne and her family! We feel they were treated like her own dogs throughout their stay and her home was theirs too which is a lovely feeling when you leave your dogs in someone elses care! I would have no problem leaving Cash and Penny with her again and would also highly recommend . Five stars well deserved!
Jo was great sitter for Nelson, communication was perfect, she sent us photo and video updates. Even with a difficult situation she informed us immediately and kept us updated all the way through. Nelson seems to have had a lovely holiday.
Our very large Bernedoodle called Bailey had a sleepover with Joanne and he loved it!! She was so kind, took him on lovely walks and sent me photos and videos.. I would definitely recommend her and have already booked again :)
Jeeves loved his time with Joanne and family. He was taken on lots of exciting walks as well as having a big garden to explore. We were kept updated throughout his whole stay and were able to relax on our holiday knowing Jeeves was well looked after!
My fur baby Jessie spend 4 nights with Jo and she had an amazing time. Jo wrote to me every day informing me about how Jessie is doing, as well as sending me pictures. Jessie was taken on long walks and was treated like their own dog. I highly recommend Jo and definitely Jessie will go back.

Schedule
My husband and I are both home all day so we can give your dog our full attention at all times. Occasionally our children may be home from university (one of whom is training to be a vet) and both girls love being around dogs, and always have lots of cuddles to give.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We had a dog for 15 years until recently and understand the need for a dog safe house and garden. Our house is open plan so dogs often come up to our room to sleep at night, but they could be shut into our hallway if you would prefer. We are surrounded by fields so long country walks are a pleasure.
