Pet care experience

A friend to the animals. Animal advocate. Vegan.

In my later teen years I grew up with two very active and bouncy pootling pooches. I enjoyed going for different walks, playing with the ball flinger, they'd always go for a swim. It really encourages you to be active aswell as making wonderful memories of you and your loved ones. I studied 3 years animal management back 10 years ago at college, this included all sorts of wonderful animals to farm animals/ horses/ meercats and lizards! I enjoyed thoroughly learning about their lives and the best way to listen and understand their needs. I also volunteered in a animal rescue. Walking dogs, and providing love, support and comfort for them in their hard times. I'm happy working with any size cat or dog. I do really miss living with animals. For me this is a wonderful opportunity to take care of your loved ones, aswell as creating some fond memories. I feel l understand some basic animal behaviours, especially dog behaviours on a social basis.

Joella was so fantastic with our girl Lucy! She kept in regular contact sharing updates with pics and videos to help reassure us. Such calming company for our girl whilst we were away

Five stars! Joella stepped in for a rush meeting and exceeded all expectations. Our Frenchie, Belle, was well-cared for and clearly very happy. It’s rare to find someone this reliable on short notice. Best sitter we've used—highly recommend.

First time using Joella as a sitter for our gorgeous Koda and she was great! :) You can tell she really loves animals and just loves being around them. We went away for one night, and Joella made sure she kept in touch with updates so we knew he was ok. It's always nerve racking leaving your pet with someone new for the first time, but I felt at ease knowing Joella was there giving Koda plenty of love and cuddles. She even took him out on walks even though we said she didn't need to. I highly recommend her!
