Safety, trust & environment

My house is very dog friendly and your dog would be free to roam around all the house. I would keep your dog in the same routine as you’d have at home. Your dog could have access to supervised outdoor space and would be taken on regular walks. Please note, I do not have a big garden but I do have an outdoor yard and decking areas, also a small front garden and patio area. Dogs would have regular walks. I have done volunteer work in dog shelters and can handle all types of dogs. I am also experienced in managing any physical ailments such as diabetes etc.

Information Joanne R. would like to know about your pet

Whilst caring for your dog I’d like to know their routine so I can keep to the same routine. I’m happy for your dog to sleep on the bed or in a crate, dog bed, whatever is the usual routine. I would like you to provide the food for your dog. I can provide dog beds, crates, toys etc if required or bring your dogs own for familiarity.

A typical day

I live on a nature reserve, I literally step outside the front door into nature. Your dog would spend the day with me going on plenty of walks in the countryside. It’s a big house with a small front garden, patio area and middle cave enclosed area which dogs can access. Decking areas to the back of the house. The house is away from any main roads. Lots of ball play, fun and tummy rubs are included. Your dog would not be left alone and will be supervised at all times. I would provide lots of updates, pictures and videos of your dog having lots of fun.

Joanne R.'s Neighborhood

Experienced dog lover. Nurse

Pet care experience

I have had dogs my entire life and done volunteer work in dog shelters abroad. I’ve had four dogs of my own who all lived to old age, alongside dog boarding for friends and families dogs. More recently my blind diabetic dog who was 17. I have experience in caring for all breeds and sizes of dogs, including puppies and older dogs requiring medications. I understand how difficult it can be finding dog care and not wanting to use kennels which can be stressful for dogs. I live in a large dog friendly house on a nature reserve, with lots of walks on my doorstep and a large doggy day care room where dogs can play or chill out on the large dog sofa, beds. Whilst I am not ready to have any more dogs of my own, I miss having dogs around and I’m in the ideal position to be able to look after your dog/dogs here in the Peak District. I’m offering a bespoke dog boarding, day care, tailored to your dogs requirements. Rest assured that your dog will be on a holiday of its own with me. I am the biggest dog lover you’re likely to meet.

Lyra had a lovely time staying with Joanne. She was loved and well cared for and went on some great walks. Really nice place and setting.

This was the second time Joanne has looked after our dog Albi, and we honestly can’t recommend her enough. She has a gorgeous home in a perfect location for taking Albi out on his adventures, and she treated him like one of her own. We absolutely loved receiving the daily video updates – it was so reassuring to see how happy and well looked after he was. Joanne truly goes above and beyond – Albi adores her, and so do we!

As always Poppy had a lovely time. Joanne sends regular updates which is very reassuring. We really appreciate being able to go away knowing that Poppy is in good hands.
