Information Joanne S. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog had any special behavious or anything I need to be aware of, like chewing shoes, afraid of other dogs or cats, do they need to be kept on a lead etc I will endeavour to stick to their routines, diet, etc whilst they are on holiday with me.

A typical day

I know the importance of dog walking and smelling they say is like reading the daily mail for dogs, so your dog will be well read. I love walking and live really close to a park. Excersize is important so they will get plenty from myself and my adult son who adores animals. My home is cosy and if I go out anywhere I will take the dog with me if there OK in the car and will give them lots of attention 😊

Pet sitting you can trust

Pet care experience

I have had animals since I was small, growing up. we where always taking in stray and injured animals from Hedgehogs, Tortoise, Rabbits, Cats and Dogs. I've always believed a house isn't a home without a pet. I have recently lost my boy, Buddy (dog) who I had for 14 years, so I have experience looking after both young and senior pets. I will endeavour to make your dog feel loved, safe and cared for while with me, I can promise they will be in good hands. As a pet lover and owner I understand how terribly hard it is to go away and trust someone with your fury babies and this is one of the main reasons I chose to do this. your best friend 🐕 🐈 will be safe and happy with me. I'm fully DBS checked

Joanne is such a lovely person felt at ease from the moment I met her and knew that my dog Ruby would be in safe hands, Joanne has sent lots of pictures and updates whilst I have been away. I appreciate that she has spent a lot of time with her and took her out for nice walks. Ruby, Jack Russell has been well looked after from the outset. Would not hesitate to ask her again.

We cannot recommend Joanne enough. We had never used a dog sitter before for our pet. Milo is 16 1/2 years old and virtually blind and deaf so we were very worried and anxious about leaving him.. After meeting Joanne our minds were but at ease and Milo seemed happy and comfortable in her home. She is welcoming, caring and understanding to his needs. Joanne kept us informed and sent us pics and updates of our boy. She was so caring and loving to him and I am so thankful to her for looking after him while we celebrated a special family holiday . Thank you again so much Milo had a happy stay. 🐶xx

My dog has just spent 3 nights with Joanne. She has been amazing with him (and me!). Lots of photos/videos and updates which were very reassuring! Teddy has come home happy & relaxed and as this was his first real time away from home it’s reassured me for any future trips. Would definitely recommend Joanne to anyone.

Joanne is so lovely, we felt really comfortable leaving our princess in Joanne's safe hands. To be able to go out and know Rosie was being looked after by someone so kind and lovely was a massive relief and made the evening even more enjoyable. Would definitely recommend Joanne for your fur babies and will definitely use Joanne again. Thanks Joanne
