Highlights
Pet care experience
Happy, fun, dog loving family!
Myself and my partner Karlo have a nearly 5 year old fun, ball loving Labrador - he loves playing with other dogs and gets along with everyone he meets. We also have 2 little boys (4 yrs and an infant) our 4 year old loves all animals especially dogs (please ensure your dog is happy around small children). We often have my sisters dog (Toller) come and stay with us too! We have been around dogs most of our lives. I, in particular used to walk and look after our neighbours dogs near my family home when they went on holiday or if they had to go into work early/come home late. We would love to look after your dog for you and promise to love them like we do our own! This will be their home away from home as even us humans deserve some holiday time!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Merlin always has such a great time with Joanne, he had been for day and overnight trips since he was a puppy. Joanne sends lots of updates and photos and when I drop Merlin off he literally races though the door! Thanks again for taking such good care of him 😊
We recently left our dog Bella with Joanne for one night and we were so impressed. Friendly and professional at all times and she did such a wonderful job. Bella was full of beans when we came to pick her up the next morning, we could tell she’d had a lovely time. We highly recommend Joanne for dog boarding if you need to find a good reliable option.
Joanne was great at taking on board all my requirements for my pup and was very attentive! Appreciated the pupdates too! Thanks for giving her a very exciting doggy play day!
Merlin has such a good time with Joanne today, lots of naps and playing with Hachi! Thanks for all the photo updates and hopefully we will be back again soon.
Joanne was great and took really good care of our poodle Gwen. Gwen had a lovely time with Joanne and her family, including her dog :)
Joanne is amazing, she goes above and beyond with looking after our doggos! Milo and Elma are always so excited when going to Joanne’s which just shows how well they’re looked after and how much fun they have

Schedule
We go on 1-2 daily walks depending on the length of walk, we have a huge field about 30 seconds walk away from our house which is perfect for off lead and lots of ball throwing! We also visit another field which is a 5 minute walk away. I work from home all day so I am around to look after and care for your dog like I do for my own. I only need to go into the office a couple of times a month which I will inform you about if the dates fall into those days but if you’re happy to, I generally bring my dog with me (and yours) and we have a beautiful forest we walk in morning and evening. I will follow your routine/schedule and your rules/commands.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We have a decent sized fenced garden, our lab loves being in the garden (even in winter)! We live in a cul de sac type area so the nearest road is atleast 30 metres away from our front door. If your dog has special requirements i.e. sleeps in a crate, just let me know! I am happy to adjust to whatever you need.
Pets
A typical day
We normally start the morning with a nice walk in the big field by our house, followed by breakfast and then lots of playing, cuddles or sleeping! The afternoons differ depending on what we are doing that day but if the morning walk was shorter due to heavy rain for example then we’d go out for another walk.
