Hello my name is Joanna and I’m a genuine dog lover who just loves spending time with dogs and making sure they feel happy, safe and at home while their owners are away. They become my top priority in my home at all times ensuring they get lots of cuddles and love throughout their stay making it feel like they’re on a holiday of their own! I take daily photos and send regular messages to make sure owners always feel happy and at ease while away. I have completed a dog wellbeing on walks course and animal first aid and CPR training as well as being fully insured. I take the responsibility of looking after someone else’s much-loved pet very seriously. I have lots of hands-on experience walking and caring for dogs of different personalities and temperaments and have grown up with dogs my entire life. When any dog is in my care I love taking them out to explore, sniff, run and walk before returning home happy and tired ready for lots of love and snuggles. My approach is to provide a relaxed, loving home-from-home environment rather than having lots of dogs at once. I prefer to keep numbers small, with a maximum of two boarding dogs at a time, so that each dog receives plenty of individual attention. I have two children aged 12 and 9 who are wonderful, gentle and caring with all animals so any dogs staying with us need to be comfortable around children. I understand that every dog is different, with their own routines, likes and dislikes and I will always take the time to get to know your dog, understand their needs and follow your instructions. I offer dog boarding, day stays and walks and I’m happy to arrange a meet and greet beforehand so that both you and your dog can feel comfortable at your own pace. During the school holidays we often go to our family home in the beautiful countryside of Kent which I only offer to one dog at a time. The house is set in beautiful countryside and has a large enclosed garden and fields. Dogs enjoy lovely walks in the countryside before returning to snuggle up by a cosy log fire. On my London walks I love to take dogs to Holland Park, Battersea park and Hurlingham park so lots of difference places to explore. Any dog in my care during the day or boarding will never be left home alone I so will have constant love and care. Above all, my priority is for owners to have complete peace of mind knowing their dog is being genuinely cared for, loved and treated as part of the family while they’re away.
