Meet Jo
Hello and a warm welcome — I'm Jo Martin
If you are searching for a caring, reliable, qualified cat sitter, dog walker or licensed home dog boarder, I'd love to hear from you. I have fifteen years experience running Pet Sitting Royston under a franchise from 2011 to 2026 and I'm now continuing that same personal care independently as Heathside Pet Care.
I'm passionate about animals — I grew up around plenty of dogs and cats, and there was nothing I loved more than a hike with the family farm dogs across the fields just outside Royston.
"If you'd like to get in touch, please fill in the booking request form or feel free to call me — I'm always happy to chat."— Jo
