Thank you Jo. It was a great relief to know that Chester, Cleo, Tink and Toffee were happy and being well looked after. I know Chester must have been awaiting your visits, it was really nice of you to recognise that Cleo needs her own space and was happy to be out in the sun. She is such a scaredy cat sometimes around other people. I’m sure that was due to her stay in a cattery when she was a kitten. Again a big thank you.

I cannot recommend Mushroom Cottage highly enough. They are 100% professional and friendly, very responsive and their attention to detail is wonderful. I felt totally confident leaving my house and pets with them, and they did not disappoint. Absolutely first rate.

Jo is brilliant – she takes Lucy my French bulldog out twice a week and even does a bit of training with her – she’s been better on the lead ever since. I’m really happy to have found Jo and would have no problem recommending her to anyone!

I have used Jo as “my cat lady” for the past 2 years, she is a lovely lady, very calm & kind. My 4 cats are always well fed & looked after when she cat sits for me. She has a key for my home on a permanent basis as she is very trustworthy. She always leaves the cat areas very clean & tidy.

I would definitely recommend using her to look after any pets & your home.

We have used Mushroom Cottage to look after our two cats on a number of occasions over the last few years. Jo has always visited and is very caring and friendly and extremely reliable and trustworthy. She keeps us up-to-date frequently when we are away and the cats have taken to Jo. We would thoroughly recommend using Mushroom Cottage and we will always use their services in preference to any other provider.

We have used Mushroom Cottage for our bulldog Roxy, we have used Jo’s service for one day or a week while we were away on holiday.  A lovely family who took care of our little girl, would recommend the family to anyone. It’s great if you don’t want your pet in a kennel – 5 star service!

Outstanding service. Jo and her family treated our dog and cat as if they were their own. Nothing was any trouble, even though our dog was recovering from a leg operation. I found them very professional and trustworthy, leaving my pets is no longer stressful as I know they are in safe hands. Highly recommended.

I would like to say how pleased I was with the service you provided, and that Kevin has been travelling in the car so much better since his stay with you. I would highly recommend you to anyone, and will definitely call you first the next time I go away… I’m sure Kev would love to stay with you again!

Jo is a very experienced dog handler who did something no-one else has ever been able to do: introduce my two nervous-aggressive whippets to other (sociable) dogs – and they had a blast! It gave me much hope for them both, as neither is bearable near other dogs ordinarily. The whippets had a wonderful stay at Mushroom Cottage whilst I was away and Jo is now my number one choice when booking. Highly recommended.

Jo has walked our two little dogs for around a year and has also been a massive help with Molly’s temperament around other dogs. We can’t thank her enough for all her hard work. She offers outstanding levels of service and is very reliable and trustworthy but more importantly my dogs love her!

Very reliable and trustworthy. Good knowledge of dogs and how to handle their different temperaments. I have total peace of mind knowing I can go away and my dog is being looked after extremely well, being given all the love, attention and exercise he needs and he is having a lovely holiday too! So glad Jo was recommended to me.

Alfie stayed with Jo and her family for a whole week while we were on holiday. He can sometimes pine for me and also hates kennels. He had a fantastic time with Jo and family no pining for me and didn’t even seem to want to leave when we picked him up! Would definitely recommend.

I am very happy with the care given to my dogs. Jo was calm and confident and took very good care of them – I don’t think they missed us at all, they were happy and stress free when we returned. I would leave them with her in the future and be confident and able to enjoy a break. Dachshunds are vulnerable as you have to pay particular care to avoid any damage to their backs, Jo’s thorough assessment of needs took this all into consideration. My husband was very impressed by the professional and efficient approach and good feedback was given by Jo as to how they had been.

We were very pleased with the service and at short notice for looking after a stray cat (with 3 kittens) that adopted us just before our holiday. We found homes for the kittens and had the cat spayed one week before we left. She was in a bit of shock and we were concerned. Jo looked after and cared for her, all the time keeping us informed by email, and upon our return we were greeted affectionately by the cat. We would certainly call upon their services in the future.

Our two cats went to stay in Mushroom Cottage’s home for nearly 2 weeks and they had the whole house and garden with personal attention and care which could never be achieved in a cattery. One of my cats is very nervous and deaf and he was cared for exceptionally well. They came home very happy and content and I have booked them in for our next holiday. Many thanks for the loving care.
