About Jo
I have a degree in Animal Behaviour & Welfare and I have worked at various vets, a dogs home, dog obedience club, farms and stables. I have experience caring for a wide range of animals, obviously dogs, cats and farm animals but also tropical fish, rodents, small mammals, amphibians, reptiles, insects, arachnids and honey making bees. I am confident in administering all types of medication to a variety of animals.

I am a registered foster carer with the RSPCA and foster mainly small mammals. I am also a registered puppy carer for Seeing Eye Dogs and have helped to train many puppies over the last few years.

I am happy to discuss and address any training issues you might be having. I practice gentle, fear free training focusing on positive reinforcement.

In addition to the reviews I have on MadPaws, I can also provide many references from the pet sits and house swaps I have completed through AussieHouseSitters & AussieHouseSwap.

I'm a stay at home mum and my husband works from home most days a week so there is always someone around. We have two children (7yr old boy & 4yr old girl). We have a very large, fully fenced garden.

Thanks for reading and I look forward to discussing your needs :)

Jo's amazing! She took wonderful care of Marilyn who had a fabulous day spending time with Jo and her family. It's hard to trust someone with our special needs dog but Jo has huge amounts kindness, compassion and experience and we are more than happy to leave Marilyn with her again.

Jo was wonderful. My pets are extremely shy yet she took such great care of them. Daily pics sent to us placed us at ease knowing they were in good hands. Jo has such a beautiful home and a lovely family. Highly recommend.
