Highlights
Pet care experience
Kind,energetic,rural, mum & teacher
Grew up rurally, surrounded by animals constanty. I had a hound - a beagle from age 12 until I left my childhood home, I trained him and he lived to the wonderful age of 16! I have walked and cared for my friends and wider family members dogs throughout my life. My two children love dogs, are kind and caring towards them (now 8 and 11) and are of an age to understand them and their temperament. We can’t commit to a full time dog of our own (and our home is perfect for one and we back on to woodland!) so we would love to help others families with their dogs.

Ratings and reviews
Holly and family welcomed Milo into their home and daily life as if he was their own. He was treated to so many outings and treats I don’t think he wanted to come home! Holly provided a very safe and loving environment for Milo. I wouldn’t hesitate in leaving Milo in her care and will be booking again soon 😊. X
This is the second time Pippa comes to visit Holly and family and she run into the house and skipped of happiness. Thank you Holly for being so good to Pippa. She loves coming to you.
Holly and her family took such great care of our puppy, Jasper. She was very communicative, followed our care instructions and looked after him like he was their own dog. Would 100% recommend and we will book him in with Holly again if our plans align. Thanks Holly!
My dog Pippa had a great time with Holly and family. Holly is a wonderful dog career and she kept me updated with how was Pippa doing which is really appreciated. I have already booked another session! Thank you Holly for being so great with Pippa.
Holly and her family were fantastic at looking after Clara for me overnight. I received frequent updates and photos and could tell she was being well cared for and loved. I will 100% use Holly again, she's very trustworthy and friendly
Holly is a kind, responsible and sensible person who I trust. She has a natural affinity with animals and would provide a safe, caring and attentive environment for any dog in her care. She is reliable and patient and understands the importance of routine, exercise and companionship for pets. I have no hesitation in recommending her as a dog sitter or walker and am confident that any pet owner would feel reassured leaving their dog with her.

Schedule
I’m currently working full-time as a secondary teacher with a set routine during the week giving me plenty of time to support at weekends and during school holidays. We are home by 6pm most evenings in the week and could help with an evening walk or sitting service if needed but we leave as a family at 7.30am so this would need to be considered during term time.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a secure, fenced garden with no side access so dogs can only access through the house and are safe from passing public. Our garden backs onto Woodland which we can access for incredible dog walks. Our immediate neighbours do not have dogs or cats and our own pets are fish and turtles; both in tanks! I have two kind mature children who know that us having a dog is a big commitment and therefore we have made the decision to offer our services to support other families and benefit from the joy a pet can bring.
A typical day
Myself and my children are full of energy and keen to share that with a furry friend or two… we have a garden on three levels, with direct access into Ashplats Wood which is heaven for dog walking, we are 10 minutes from East Court, where we enjoy running and football on the open grass areas.
- 0 to 7 kg7 to 18 kgSpayed and neutered dogs onlyNo females in heatTakes only 1 client at a timeHolly can host up to 2 pets per night
- Let me know if your dog has any special dietary or exercise needs. I have experience with hounds and the concerns around them getting a scent and running off. As a family we have cared for spaniels, beagles, dachshunds, cockapoos and labradors. Experience with both dogs and bitches.
