Pet care experience
❗️not currently taking bookings❗️ ✨I can only offer pet sitting in your home ✨I work full-time, so your pet needs to be able to be left alone in the day (I have a degree of flexibility, so please message me to discuss further if needed!) ✨Unfortunately, I am unable to do stays longer than 3 nights anymore. I grew up with the most wonderful black labrador, Hollydog, who I still miss every day. She got to the grand old age of 16 and never walked on a lead or stole food. She slept by my bed every night and was as good as gold. So let me tell you the learning curve I had when we adopted our three-legged, Bosnian street dog, Luna (pictured). Learning about her... 'quirks', and how to make her now forever home the best place for her, it has been interesting to see how much work needs to be done our end. A lot of positive reinforcement and reassurance, she is now the cuddliest and sweetest girl ever, if sometimes a little spicy. I have never owned a reactive dog before, and it's given me insight on how to not only be aware of a dogs body language and cues they give you, but also have more respect for the dogs and their owners.
Reviews
What a great sitter! It was our first time leaving pets with a sitter and Hollie did an amazing job. She sends you regular pupdates with photos from the stay - really appreciated! Highly recommended! 😁
Good sitter, highly recommend.
Thank you Hollie. Our dogs loved you straight away! If Charlie brings you an apple (which he thinks is a ball! ) then your in his top 10!

Safety, trust & environment
I will happily come to your home so your pooch can remain in their safe space and work around yourselves and their needs. If you would like to do a meet & greet beforehand, I’m more than happy to do so.
Information Hollie J. would like to know about your pet
I own an ex-street dog, with three legs. She can be reactive to dogs and humans so I feel extremely well equipped to manage this. Just let me know their needs and I will accommodate as much as possible so they are comfortable. (Please note: my dog will stay at home with my partner so no worries if you’re not wanting her to come along!)
A typical day
I love going for long walks with PLENTY of sniffing time for dogs, as this can often tire them out more than trekking for miles! I am happy to accommodate where they feel comfortable, so if they don’t get on with other dogs or humans, we can go somewhere more isolated. Walks aren’t the be all and end all though! We can play in the garden, have some fun with indoor enrichment games and much more!
Services
Hollie can watch in your home
Availability
I work full-time Monday to Friday, but have SOME remote working flexibility. I can stay at your home during the week, and possibly WFH a day or two a week, pending schedule and need of your pooch. Note, I will not be able to be at home all day, so please consider this when booking with me. If it’s a single day with enough notice, I should be able to work from home that day :-)
