Pet care experience

Pet sitting you can trust

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 was incredible! This was the first time we had left both of our dogs, the eldest being almost 10. Joanne was amazingly reassuring from the start, answering all of our questions and offering to meet before the stay. During the time Morris and Elsie spent with Joanne, we received lots of updates reassuring us that they were very well looked after and settled. We will absolutely book with Joanne again.

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

Safety, trust & environment

I work from home when needed, I have a large, secure back garden. My house backs on to fields and a local park within a 5 minute walk to walk the dog. My adult son also lives at home so there is nearly always someone at home.

Pets

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 😊
