Pet care experience

Your pet's new best friend!

I have experience with dogs of every size, age, and temperament since I was a child, and I’ve always had pets of my own. My first pet was my beloved cat, Pudding, who was with me for 17 years - she's still fondly remembered for her bark... yes, my cat thought she was a dog! I rescued my late dog Oz, who was my best friend for eight years until I sadly lost him last year. Oz had a variety of health issues later in his life, including poor vision and suffering a stroke, which taught me how to care for dogs with additional needs. Friends, neighbours, and family have relied on me for decades to help while they've been on holiday or away, to support them with walking and caring for their pets as if they were my own. I've done this in both my own home and theirs. I’m experienced with puppies, senior pets, and everything in between, and I pride myself on being reliable, patient, and attentive to each animal’s individual needs.

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priority. I will always care for your pets in the way that feels most natural for them, in the familiar surroundings of their own home. I’m a responsible adult with years of experience, so you can rest easy knowing they’re in safe hands. I understand how precious pets are, Oz and Pudding taught me that, and I’ll make sure your fur baby feels loved, secure, and cared for at all times.

Jo has been our pet sitter 4 times so far this year and she is superb, she treats your pets as if they were her own. After using Jo we wouldn't want anyone else looking after our girl Ettie. Already booked again for next hol. Can't recommend her enough, we always come back to a clean house and a happy Ettie. We used to get anxiety leaving for hols but not anymore as we know she will be cared for properly.

Joanne has been with me for 5 yrs plus as my cleaner at first but has also become my beloved pooch Archies best friend! She is a genuine animal lover that is clear to see! She is now my number one go to for pet/ house sitting! She will happily turn up to keep him company or walk him even at short notice. Honestly she has been a God send. I will definitely recommend Joanne in a heartbeat!

Hi all. If you’re looking for a genuine and caring person to look after your pooch Joanne Meredith is the perfect choice. She has been regularly looking after my dogs for 10 years. My dog Ralph absolutely loves her. 100% dependable and honest.

Joanne is amazing with animals, my pup absolutely loves her and I wouldn’t go to anyone else! She’s so naturally caring and reliable. I always feel at ease knowing my baby is left with her. Thanks Jo :)

Schedule

I currently work part-time, which means I have plenty of time to give your pets the love and attention they deserve. Especially after losing my pup and best friend, Oz, last year, there is a big doggy void in my life that I am looking to fill. I’m available for walks and drop-ins on weekdays and weekends for sitting or longer boarding. Your pet will never feel rushed - I ensure they get quality playtime, exercise, and cuddles.
