A friend for your dog (:

Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of many different types of dogs including greyhounds, beagles, terriers and staffies and have loved all of them! Family, friends and neighbours have all relied on me to walk, feed and love their doggies. I’m not trained formally to train your dog but if you let me know what training you are doing at home I can continue this when they are in my care so it is consistent. I also have experience with deaf and blind dogs as well as senior care from looking after my parents dogs.

Josie was absolutely fantastic and looked after my Milo so well. She kept me posted with pictures and took Milo out to a lovely park. Even washed him down and kept him so clean. Added bonus Josie has a lovely dog of her own which was lovely for Milo. Milo left so happy but totally exhausted- thank you for a lovely day and definitely be back x

Harley had a fantastic four night stay with Josie. She was well cared for and went on some fun adventures with their dog Eric who is super friendly. Highly recommend!

Josie clearly loves dogs and had great communication with us before and during Harley’s visit. Our dog had a brilliant stay and was well cared for. Couldn’t ask for more, glad we found her. Harley also got on really well with her own who was

Safety, trust & environment

I have a long but narrow garden with 4ft fences on one side and 5ft on the other with neighbours either side and a bank behind. There are two downstairs rooms and a very large sofa perfect for cuddles. We own one dog (half bassett, half dachshund) since January 2023 so if I’m lucky enough to look after your dog they will have a friend for the day. He is a big scaredy-cat when it comes to humans but absolutely adores all dogs! We rescued him from Dogs Trust and it’s the best decision we have ever made (: We live close to two different parks so would take them there for their walks and am happy to drive with your dog to Jeskyns or another large park for a big walk.

Information Josie H. would like to know about your pet

Any tummy issues occurring at the time. What they might be like when you leave and how to calm them down. Any training you are doing at home so I can continue here. Any triggers for them.

A typical day

We would have time for playing and training if that is something you would be interested in. I live near two parks so could visit once, twice of three times if we have a high energy dog. We love to visit Jeskyns and go into the dog pens. We live near my mum’s school with a large high fenced area that we can access any time. Cuddles as much as possible!

I am a teacher so am only available during the holiday periods or weekends and would love to have another friend during those times. I have no commitments during the holidays so am pretty flexible. My partner also works from home all day so there will be two adults in the house for company.
