Pet care experience
Since I was a child I've helped care for my grandparents dog, and several families in our village entrusted me with caring for their cats for many years. When I was 5 we brought a rabbit who we were lucky enough to have for 12 years who I cared for. At age 17 my Dad and I got our first dog, a 5 week old white German Shepherd called Kai. Aswell as the usual feeding/walking/grooming and experience of puppy care; Kai has lots of medical conditions so I'm experienced in ear cleaning, and giving medications. I worked as a bird of prey carer for three years and gained a great deal of animal care knowledge. My husband previously had three dogs and a giant rabbit so shares my love of animals. When we met he had an 8 year old staffy who we spoilt rotten until we unfortunately lost her recently at age 13. We miss having a dog to spoil and love so would really enjoy helping care for other people's pets.
Reviews
Charlie has again had an amazing time with Holly and Giles. The care he receives is outstanding. Great communication with what he’s been up to with pictures. Charlie doesn’t even bother saying goodbye when I drop him off. He’s just so happy to be there. He is looking forward to his upcoming stays we’ve booked :-)
From the first contact and meet and greet we felt confident that Holly and Giles would be excellent sitters for our two dogs. They quickly established a great rapport and are clearly experienced, knowledgable and passionate about dogs. We wouldn't hesitate in recommending them and will be booking again very soon.
Bruno and Pepper had the most amazing time with Holly and Giles. They clearly love all dogs and made our two feel very special taking them on some exciting walks and giving them lots of cuddles. Both pups were happy to see them again and seemed very at ease. Thank you both again for looking after them.
I was very worried about leaving my Great Dane puppy for the first time but the minute I met Holly I could see he good be in good hands. When the day came to drop him off to Holly he trotted in without looking back! On his return two days later it was obvious he had been very well looked after. I have no hesitation in recommending Holly. She will look after your pet as if it was her own. Thank you Holly and I hope you will after him in the future.

We live in a two story house with a small enclosed garden. Opposite our home is a large lawn perfect for dog walks and at the bottom of our road is a beach. If you're happy for your pet to be allowed on furniture I love nothing more than cuddling up with a dog watching TV together having a fuss. We're also happy to stay in the pets home if they're happier in familiar surroundings.

Information Holly C. would like to know about your pet
I have experience with dogs of all different breeds and personalities. Just like us each dog has their own personality and quirks which is one of the best things about them. To help us make sure your dog has the best care possible please let me know their likes/dislikes, routines, how they interact with other people and animals etc.
A typical day
Having cared for dogs between 5 weeks old right upto 13 years old my husband and I are happy to go with the flow. With younger or high energy dogs we absolutely love a mad half an hour running around and playing with toys. I'm always looking to expand my knowledge around animal care. We've learnt different techniques to exercise dogs brains which is just as important as exercising them physically. We use a combination of scent training, snuffle mats and slow feeding to stimulate dogs brains and make treats rewarding and fun. This is brilliant for building a bond, relieving stress and keeping your dog calm and happy. With older or more chilled out dogs my favourite thing is snuggling up on the sofa having a fuss and watching TV. We live opposite a large green area and have a sofa in our bay window that dogs always love watching out of to see the people and dogs going past. The green area is perfect for small dog walks and if they like to go further we have so many fabulous routs through fields or woodlands. If they like to swim we have a river a few minutes walk in one direction and the beach a few minutes walk in the other direction.

My husband and I run our own business from home so are flexible, and are happy to follow your pets usual routines. If your pet loves visitors they will love meeting our friends, or if they prefer the quiet life we take some time out from socialising and enjoy the peace with them.
