Joanne

Hello, I am Jo, and I live with my partner Rob and two fish in Richmond. We are in our forties, animal lovers and very responsible. Currently, I am studying for my Nutritional Therapy degree and walking dogs, so I have a very flexible schedule and Rob works from home. We both grew up with dogs and cats and we are the number 1 choice for dog sitting for our friends and family.  

We have a house in Richmond with a garden that has a secure fence. We would welcome any dog to stay in our cosy home whilst you are away in the summer months. We love walking and North Sheen recreational ground is only a 5-minute walk away, however, my favourite place to walk is in Richmond Park, which is only a 5-minute drive away.  

I have been walking dogs with a reputable dog walking company for two years whilst studying, so I am confident in handling, training, and playing with dogs. I also love nothing more than a doggie cuddle on the sofa whilst watching a movie, so your doggie will feel loved. I will always keep you updated with lots of pictures of your beloved pet for peace of mind.

I can provide tailored services for your pet including dog walking, house sitting and daily visits. Additional services of doggy daycare and boarding at my house will be available after I have finished my university school year in June, so I can give your doggies my full attention but I'm happy to discuss and meet you now. I like to have a meet and greet before any booking so we can all get to know each other.

Please see the frequently asked questions and breakdown of costs below. Contact me if you have any questions at all, looking forward to meeting you and your pet.  

I have a full UK driving license with no convictions, a DBS background check certificate and lots of references.

Doggie walks are £22 an hour and £27 at the weekend, this includes picking up your doggie from your house and going to their favourite park. Please select the full rate and a discount will be applied depending on your duration. Please note I am fully booked for walks 8.30 to 10.30 & 11.30 till 1.30 most days

House visits are charged at £20 per hour and include 45 minutes of playtime, feeding and cleaning of your pet’s environment. There is a reduced rate of £15 for shorter visits or £10 an hour for extended home visits.

I would come to stay at your house and keep your pets to their normal routine of feeding, walking, and playing with lots of love and care. You will return to your lovely home with a clean house, clean pets, watered plants, mail collected, and bins outs. Please select the full rate and a discount will be applied depending on the time and duration of house sitting.
