About Holly A.

Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced garden and live on a quiet street in ickleton. I have a large kitchen, downstairs “walk in” style shower room, and comfy sofa that dogs are welcome to roam on. I have a friendly Vizsla to keep your dog entertained! I have a car so can offer pick up/drop offs for an extra cost if needed. I have loads of beautiful walks on our doorstep, including rivers to paddle in, quiet cattle-free fields to throw a ball in and quiet streets to practise any loose-lead walking.

Information Holly A. would like to know about your pet
Please do let me know if your dogs have any special requirements! I will be happy to adapt my daily routines to fit most dogs needs, but please be aware i do have my own dog that lives at my house and is not crate trained, so therefore i am unable to take on any in-tact males or reactive dogs. I’d probably also advise against really old dogs who may get bothered by a younger, bouncy dog. My dog is gentle with small dogs but she does love to bark and play so i’d recommend confident, playful small dogs.
A typical day
I love to do both physical and mental stimulation! I’ll play plenty of indoor games like “find it” and squeaky toys/balls etc. There will be plenty of supervised play with my own dog. We can go on long walks around the fields or simply head to the park for some shorter walks. I’m happy to keep your dog on a lead if you prefer this. I also have whistles and plenty of treats as well. As well as all the fun, i have lots of time for settling down and napping. Dogs are allowed to cuddle up on sofas or on our fluffy rugs if they’d prefer. I also have cool tiles in our kitchen for any super hot days.

Pets
Owner of a Vizsla, lover of all dogs! 🧡
Pet care experience
I have had a family dog all my life and have recently moved out and bought my own dog (a female Vizsla called Ruby!) I grew up with 3 different pet labradors and regularly pet sit for my brothers Labrador so know this breed very well. However, I have also had experience in pet sitting other breeds! Owning a Vizsla gives me an insight into more “complex” working dog breeds. I understand how some dogs do not tire from physical exercise alone and need the mental stimulation to settle down. I have also spent a long time teaching my dog a solid recall and loose lead etiquette. When it comes to playing and relaxing indoors, I am very open minded! I have a “dogs allowed on furniture and beds” kind of household, but will obviously respect those who wish their dogs to remain in their own spaces and areas :) That being said, I’m happy to have a snuggle on the sofa with any dogs who wish and a play in the garden. I do not have kids, but I do share my house with my dog Ruby, as mentioned, and she is a typical energetic young Vizsla. She may be a little “too much” for very old dogs, very tiny timid dogs and other dogs that may be reactive or have a tendency to resource guard. Whilst she is very friendly, she does like to play and i understand if this isn’t a suitable environment for all dogs. Ruby is also not currently neutered due to age and seasons etc. I’d always encourage a meet and great before any daycare sessions! Happy to talk through any concerns you may have or answer any questions. Above all, I adore dogs of all breeds and I’m very happy to talk, meet and get to know your dog before any daycare/boarding stays. I’m also happy to take on any awkward feeding schedules and oral administered medicine (please not I am NOT medically trained with animals however).
Reviews
Holly has looked after my 2 year old dog many many times and treats her like she would her own dog. I always feel very confident and comfortable in her ability to care for Mocki and she always sends pupdates throughout the day and more importantly - Mocki loves her!! Never have a worry when Holly is looking after her.
