“Charlie absolutely loves visiting Jo and her family. He gets so excited when I drop him off. I really feel like he gets treated as one of their own. We get regular updates when he visits and it’s obvious he has lots of fun and affection.”

Day Care: Jo’s day care is a haven for dogs. My dog loves spending time there, enjoying a safe, fun, and nurturing environment filled with love and care.

Home Boarding: Jo’s home boarding is exceptional. Her welcoming and clean home provides a perfect setting for dogs. She keeps me updated with photos and messages, ensuring peace of mind while I’m away. My dog always returns happy and well cared for.

Jo is professional, compassionate, and dedicated. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking top-notch dog walking, day care, and home boarding services. She truly is the best!”

“We have used Jo’s home boarding service for our 2 dogs many times. I won’t book a holiday without checking Jo is available first. From the daily photos we receive it’s obvious the dogs are having a lovely holiday which means we can relax and enjoy our holiday too. Jo welcomes them into her home and loves them as her own and it’s obvious the dogs love her back. Highly recommended ☺️.”

“I recently found myself in need of last-minute dog care after my original plans fell through, and Jo at Ashby Happy Hounds stepped in to save the day. From the start, nothing was too much trouble for her, and she was incredibly flexible in accommodating my needs. After a trial session with my two dogs, any worries I had instantly disappeared—I could tell right away that they were in safe, caring hands with Jo and her family.

Throughout their stay, Jo provided daily updates complete with photos, which gave me even greater peace of mind. Her attentiveness and genuine love for dogs made all the difference. I feel incredibly fortunate not only to have found a fantastic dog sitter but also to have gained a friend.

Jo also shared some helpful tips that I’ve now incorporated into our routine at home. If you’re searching for a home-away-from-home experience for your dogs, I wholeheartedly recommend Jo at Ashby Happy Hounds. She truly goes above and beyond!”

“Home sweet home. Our cockapoo just loves it at Jo’s. She is welcomed in with open arms. She’s treated as part of the family even down to watching the Olympics together. Jo’s place has to be your first choice.”

“My bulldog has never been away from me/family and she fit right in at Jo’s house, her and her husband are lovely, their home is welcoming, clean and homely. I felt confident and comfortable leaving my dog there, nothing is too much hassle for them!

Jo takes care of dogs just as though they are her own, she is compassionate, dedicated and professional which shows through her care and love for the dogs.
Jo sends daily pictures which provides peace of mind whilst you’re away.

Very accommodating, good communication, my dog come home just as happy as she went.

This was mine and my dog’s first experience of a paid doggy service and I’m thankful that it was Jo who provided the excellent experience, so thank you.

Highly recommend to anyone searching for dog services, my dog will certainly be returning to Jo! ☺️”

“Our Milo is 6 & a half months now and has been going to Ashby Happy Hounds for around 2 and a half months. We needed a doggy daycare because of our work hours but it was hard finding someone to trust to look after our fur baby. We was recommended Jo and when we met her we both felt so at ease. We knew we wanted somewhere that felt homely and not robotic which is exactly how Jo is, she looks after Milo as if he is her own.

Milo loved meeting her dogs and she is excellent with him. He runs down her driveway when I drop him off with his tail wagging & we get lots of photos throughout the day and he is always having the best time! He has come on leaps and bounds and has learnt lots from the other dogs! He’s so well looked after and Jo’s experience with dogs just puts me at ease because I know he’s in great hands whilst we are working.

Jo is very accommodating with her hours and very reasonable with her prices! She books fields & takes him round lakes, he plays in ball pits and she encourages nap time! Milo loves going and we are very grateful to have found Ashby Happy Hounds!”
