The people behind the care

Handpicked, not hired.

Jo doesn't advertise for Petters. Every person who cares for a Homely home is someone she knows personally — someone she would trust with her own animals, her own keys, her own front door.

That's why there are only three. It takes time to find people this good, and Jo would rather turn work away than send someone she isn't certain of. When you meet your Petter, you're meeting a friend of Jo's.

How Jo chooses

What it takes to be a Petter

Three things Jo will not compromise on.

01

Known personally

No job boards, no strangers. Jo has known each Petter long before they ever cared for a client's home.

02

Genuinely good with animals

Not tolerant of them — devoted to them. The kind of person a nervous dog settles next to within the hour.

03

Careful in someone's home

Respectful of routine, tidy by instinct, and communicative without being asked. You come home to things as you left them.

Not sure who's the right fit?

That's Jo's job. Tell her about your home, your pets and your dates — she'll match you with the Petter who suits them best.
