Will love your babies like they're my own!

Pet care experience

***I gladly accept house sittings and drop ins for small animals such as rats, hamsters, rabbits etc at a cost of £10 per enclosure. (E.g if there's several animals per enclosure it'll be a flat rate for all combined.). Free roam animals are also included in the flat rate. I always bring my partner to house sits for safety reasons. Please ensure any dogs coming to my home are up to date on any flea/worm treatments and vaccines.*** Hey there! My name is Holly and I live locally in Radcliffe with my parents and boyfriend, who also love animals. I'm a friendly and energetic person, who adores all furry creatures. I've always been an animal lover ever since I was a child and I have had lifelong experience with my own pets. I have also volunteered at a doggy daycare so I have plenty of experience. Our own dog Lucy sadly passed away in 2017 and we haven't had the pleasure of having our own baby since, so we like to put all that love and care into looking after other people's companions. I am experienced with senior dogs/cats and can administer medication if need be, as our poor girl needed a lot of care in her old age. I am also fully insured and covered for things such as accidents, illness, injuries and property/possession damage. I am passionate about animals and my love for them means I will do my utmost to ensure your fur baby is always in the best hands. I strive to consistently go above and beyond for you and your loyal companion and always treat your pets as though they were my own, which means lots of cuddles, treats and love. I understand the importance of trust and security and can assure you that your fur babies are in the best hands. If necessary, I can provide enrichment activities for anxious dogs, we have licky mats, snuffle mats, and also various plug ins all designed to soothe an anxious dog. We also have plenty of toys and beds for your dogs comfort. It'll be their home away from home. All dog related paraphernalia are thourgougly cleaned and disinfected daily. I live in a house with a fenced garden, so your dogs can have a potter whenever they want in a safe and secure environment, and live close to many beautiful walking areas and woodland which I'm sure the doggies will love and enjoy. They will be on their own little holiday! I am at home mostly all the time and I can therefore offer a lot of flexibility if necessary. I am available 7 days a week, but please ensure sufficient availability as sometimes the rover calendar doesn't reflect this due to glitches. If you're local to Radcliffe, I also offer pick ups and drop offs for an extra £20 if you are struggling to find transport.

Wow! What an amazing lady and family. I was so nervous about leaving Freddy with anyone but as soon as I saw Hollys profile I knew she was the one, that was until We had a meet and greet at her house before hand, then I knew 110% they were fabulous. From dropping Freddy off they knew and understood how I felt and made me feel at ease straight away. Nothings too much for them, they go above and beyond. Sent messages, videos and photos throughout the day and we’re always 100% honest. Answered messages straight away. Freddy loved his stay and was cooked a gourmet meal by Holly as he was off his food. I would leave Freddy again without hesitation l, in fact we will be booking him in again very soon, what an amazing family who clearly do this because they love dogs! I feel like we have gained friends as-well. I can’t put into words how grateful we are, thank you so so much!

I have no worries at all going on holiday and leaving my pets in the care of Holly. She's fantastic and has given us the opportunity to go on holiday again which I am so so grateful for.

We left our puppy Olive with Holly for an overnight stay. She didn't want to come home! Holly and her family were so welcoming and tolerant of Olive's puppy madness. Olive was totally worn out and very happy. We'll be booking again!

Great care taken of my little fur baby, with lots of photos and regular updates provided. Would definitely use again and would recommend. My little fur baby was well cared for despite him keeping Holly up at night confused sorry :)

Our house is secure and we have a garden which is fenced. We do allow dogs on all furniture as I see them as part of the family. I am also willing to use a crate if that's what your dog would prefer but I'm more than happy to snuggle up with them. When I do drop ins and house sits, I will wholly respect your home and space and leave it exactly how I found it, and ensure to follow any and all care planes outlined by you so you can enjoy your time away stress free. I can also water your plants if need be or any other odds and ends that may need attending to whilst you are gone.

A typical day

I adore walking and will always ensure your dog's tail wags from start to finish. We will go for long walks and maybe play some frisbee and fetch! I love to walk near Elton reservoir and on a sunny day it can really lift the spirits. Your dog will love investigating all the sights and smells of the neighbourhood, and of course, they will get all the attention, love, care and maybe even some treats! I also love a simple snuggle on the couch with the dogs and a film in the evening, there's not much better in life than furry, sometimes even slobbery cuddles!

As I work from home, I'm adaptable and therefore offer several services including house sitting/drop-ins for all kinds of species, walks and doggy daycare too. Whether I'm house sitting or boarding your pets at my own home, I will ensure to do whatever is necessary to maintain your pet's routine, including any medication, dietary requirements, emotional or physical triggers, sleeping arrangements, toilet needs, etc. My absolute favourite thing is drop ins, as I can then care for your babies in their home environment, and knowing I'm making a difference to their day is so rewarding! Whether it's dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters or even less conventional animals please get in touch and we can discuss your specific care needs.
