Pet care experience

graduate with a passion for animals

My family have always been massive animal lovers and so from an extremely young age i’ve been responsible for and looking after animals from as small as hamsters and reptiles to dogs! I’ve had hands on experience as a dog groomer for a few years too so have worked with dogs all different sizes and personalities. since moving out i’ve had my own pets, mainly rats because they’re just like little dogs - my rats were my wholeee universe - i am desperate for more animals and dog and cat sitting allows me to actually have more pets! as i am a student i am home a lot, i can stay in with your pet and i can ensure they will not be left unattended for long hours - when i do pop out to run my errands the dogs tend to come with me as i enjoy the company. im currently a medical neuroscience student however it’s my life long dream to own a rescue. in my spare time i like to rescue animals (hence the pigeon pic). i love all and any animal!! inc insects i have experience with administering oral medication to dogs (to both my own dog in his senior days as well as dogs i’ve cared for) and am open to administering other forms.

Doggy Day Care • Sep 14, 2026

Reilly had a great time with Thom and Joely! I was kept updated on his antics throughout the day and he came home a happy and tired wee boy. Lovely daycare. Thank you!

Doggy Day Care • Sep 10, 2026

Booked Joely and Thom very last minute and they were absolutely brilliant. Great communication from the start, and Maxi clearly had a lovely day with them. He got three walks, lots of love and attention, and I received plenty of photos and updates throughout the day, which was really reassuring. I wouldn’t hesitate to book them again, I’m pretty sure Maxi would be very happy to hang out with Joely and Thom again too! 🐶 Highly recommend

Doggy Day Care • Sep 08, 2026

Needed cover for Tony at super short notice and Joely and her partner Thom were amazing, Tony was super happy to be spending the day with them again! I also received updates and pics throughout the day so I know he was happy. Thanks again and Tony looks forward to next time! 😁

Joely takes such great care of Jensen, and he always comes home happy with his tail wagging! It’s really reassuring knowing I can leave him with someone local who I trust completely to look after him. Would definitely recommend Joely to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter.

Joely looked after Luna very well, great communication, and attentive to all our dog’s needs. Joely sent us some lovely pics of our dog enjoying cuddles and walks. I would definitely recommend Joely, especially for coping with Luna’s excitable behaviour!

Schedule

i am free most of the time as i’m a student! anytime or day tend to work best for me. it’s rare that i’ll have something on. i do tend to pop out for a few hours in the day weather that’ll be to go uni or get shopping. my partner helps with the dog sitting and is a massive animal lover and tends to have a way with animals! - they always just seem to adore and are drawn to my partner. my partner is vulnerable so please do not book if ill as we cannot afford to become ill!

Safety, trust & environment

i do have a back garden that is completely fenced off. i’m near a park too that the dogs like to go to and we often run errands together!

A typical day

since looking taking on a many dogs on here, i tend to spend most my days with the dogs. we love to take them to the beach and walks to the park and out where we go - we usually do a big walk twice a day and leave to doors open to our garden whilst we’re in. the dogs usually tend to come everywhere with me as i really do love having them here. at night we tend to sit on the sofa and catch up on work or watch a movie!
