Highlights
Pet care experience
Love dogs. Life is better with dogs.
I have had dogs all my life and spent many years boarding, walking and rehoming dogs for charity organizations and friends. Can deal with any breed. Especially keen for working breeds like shepherds. Absolutely adore labs and retrievers. I'm happy to meet and greet before hand, there are many green areas around me great for walks, I'll happily send you photos and updates during sitting to put your mind at ease.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Joe was terrific. It was Loki’s first time with a sitter, so we were naturally nervous about leaving him and how he’d react, but Joe had him settled within minutes and gave him a holiday that was as good as ours. Joe was communicative throughout, sending us pictures every day, and clearly bonded with Loki - by the end of our holiday we were only worried he might prefer to stay rather than come home! Loads of nice long walks, a welcoming home, flexibility on timings - Joe was a treat to work with, and managed Loki’s 38kg frame like he was made of feathers! I’d definitely recommend Joe and we’ll certainly hope to have Loki stay with Joe again!
Joseph looked after Winston for a few hours whilst we were on Bath. Would book again, great communication and seemed very knowledgeable about dogs. Took Winston for a long walk and sent lots of photos
Joseph was very welcoming and reassuring. He took the time to show us his house and explained how he would look after our dog, Gracie. Would definitely recommend and use again.
Joseph was very responsive to messages and amazing with my 3 year-old collie cross Storm. Storm is a high energy dog so he needs a lot of attention and Joseph took him for lots of super long walks and sent some adorable pics of a very happy dog! Very impressed, would book again 😊
Hector had a great stay with Joseph, he came home relaxed, happy and tired.
Joseph was absolutely brilliant and took amazing care of Mertie. He provided photos and updates during the day and Mertie was relaxed from the second I dropped him off until he was collected. Big thanks to Joseph as it meant I could enjoy the day stress free to explore Bath.

Schedule
I currently work full time during the week and sometimes during the weekend but most weekends I'm free and I'm happy to have a dog around.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a front and back garden, back garden is gated with high walls and has spots of shade and sun. I have large and small dog beds, bowls and more than enough space in every room. I have housemates that also love dogs. Dog will never be left unattended it's just not my style, and happy to have them on the furniture.
A typical day
I will let the dog settle first thing, let the dog sniff their surroundings. When it's time to take them for a walk there's many options around me such as Victoria Park, Locksbrook cemetery, the path along the river, and I enjoy taking them to pets at home so they can smell all the smells and then there's the tunnels path beyond that. We'll head back and relax, they'll have their evening food, they'll get another walk before bed and then again in the morning.
