I asked Jo and Ric if they were able to come and look after our 3 whippets having read their reviews and was very pleased when they accepted. As expected

Jo has cared for my collie Molly on my occasions - during the day and overnight for several days at a time. Molly adores her and I would highly recommend her! I have known Jo for many years. She has had many dogs of her own during that time and has helped out with her in-laws dog sitting business. Her experience is wide and varied! Jo is a very kind, empathetic and thoughtful person. She is talented in many ways - creative and artistic. She has even written a book - from her dog Oakey's point of view! I would have no hesitation in recommending Jo as the perfect person to care for your pets and home.
