Jo is so kind, caring and attentive to the dogs she looks after. As a shift worker it can be hard to find someone with flexibility, but Jo has been so accommodating to our needs. We’d be lost without her.

Joanne is an amazing dog walker, kind, caring and attentive to all my pups needs. Been walking my doggo for over 5 years and always get a 5 star service. Jo tailors the walks to my pup and her needs, rain or shine. Jo also sends updates and sends photos from the walks showing how happy my pup is. More...

Brilliant services whenever we have used them. Jo is always so prompt with communication 7 days a week. And our dog walks are often much longer than an hour which is always an extra bonus. Thoroughly recommended 🥰

Joanne looked after our miniature poodle for around 7 years from when he was a puppy and she was fantastic. She was always flexible, carefully organised his walks so he could be with other dogs he got on well with, and sent us lovely photos of each walk. We only sadly stopped using her because we moved away. Highly recommended! More...

Jo has been walking our lively labradoodle since he was 3/4 months old and provides a reliable and trustworthy service. I have complete trust in her with our keys and our boy. He always comes back happy and has lots of fun with the other dogs, who Jo is careful to select based on their personalities so they all get along and the best enrichment they can get. More...

Brilliant service, flexible and reliable. Our dog loves her walks with Joanne, especially at the paddock!
Joanne even fully cleans off any mud and dirt before letting the dog back in.
We highly rate her for dog walking.

Jo is very caring, reliable and trustworthy. I know that my dogs are in safe hands when they are with her and I always receive a photo update of them on their walk. She has boosted my dogs’ confidence so that they now enjoy walking with other dogs. I highly recommend Jo (Hounds on the Ground). More...

Jo is a fantastic dog walker.
I have a little blue Staffy, Bluebell.
Loves her walks with Jo.
Jo takes time to get to know the dogs and their individual needs and requirements.
Jo is punctual and accommodating and is also a lovely person.
I wouldn't trust my baby with anyone else. I have complete faith in Jo.
Thanks to Jo, Bluebell is walked whilst I'm at work x

Maria Parker
I have used Joanne for the past 5 years and can't recommend her highly enough. I feel completely at ease when she has my dog Billy. Billy comes back from his walks happy and tired. Joanne let's me know when she has picked him up and also provides a photo of him out enjoying his walk. Billy loves his walks with Joanne and I never have to worry because I know his in capable and caring hands. More...

I have been using Joanne’s services for 3 years. She is professional at all times. She is flexible with walks which really helps me as my working pattern changes from week to week. She loves and takes care of my dachshund like he’s her own. He gets so excited when he sees her. Would definitely recommend Hounds on the Ground. More...

Joanne is a great dog walker very attentive and caring. I was a little skeptical at first to let my little Chico (chihuahua) go. Overprotective dad 😂😂. Joanne put my mind and ease and he took to her immediately always loves his time with Joanne and she sends me pictures of his little adventures, will always recommend Joanne to anyone looking for a dog walker.

What do you love most about your job?
The dogs. I am the biggest dog lover. I love spending time outdoors too.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I spent years working in schools, caring for and supporting children, but everything changed when I got my own puppy. The joy, love, and companionship my dog brought into my life inspired me to follow my heart and build a career around caring for animals. Now, I combine my nurturing background with my passion for dogs, offering dedicated, reliable care that puts both pups and their owners at ease.

I’m reliable, loving, and treat every dog like family! I have over 8 years of dog experience, i am fully insured, i have my own transport. I am a dog owner myself (and always have been) i love dogs!
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
No, i am a dog walker and need to walk the dogs. I do not provide online dog walking services.

I also maintain flexible scheduling to accommodate changing needs and always stay updated on the latest health guidelines. Your safety—and your dog’s happiness—means everything to me!
