I am currently taking a break from working as a server, so I have plenty of time to look after your pet and work around your timetable. I also have a car so I am able to drive to you and take your pet out for lovely walks that may need a car to get to.

Safety, trust & environment

I understand that allowing someone new to look after your dog takes a lot of trust. I also understand that having someone new into your home can feel uncomfortable. I can honestly say I am a respectful person who's main focus is to care for your dog and build a trusting relationship. As for my own home, I live a short walk from Alpha Lake park where there is a dog-friendly park. I would always prioritise your dog's safety and wellbeing when in my company.

Information Holly C. would like to know about your pet

Let's have a chat about your pets needs and requirements beforehand and then I can build a stronger relationship with your pet so you feel they're in safe hands, and I feel more confidence with the kind of pet they are. I am comfortable with working with most personality types, from the sociable to the antisocial, hyperactive to the stubborn and lazy. I've had experience with antisocial dogs (towards other dogs and/or people) so I can adapt our activities and surroundings based off their personality. I am comfortable and capable of being with all kinds of dogs.

A typical day

I'd identify what kinds of play your dog likes most then I would run with this. Ball, stick, frisbee - whatever it is - we'd find the time and location best to play. We would spend time in nature, we would do some self-care (if they were happy with a groom) and we could potentially work on new tricks (again, if they were motivated).

I'll love your dog like my own

Pet care experience

All my life I've had pet dogs, and I've loved it. I have experience with all ages: from puppies, our pet dog had a litter of eight, to the hyper adolescents and steady seniors. There's a void in my life lately without a pet. I'll listen to your dog's needs and look after them as if they were my own. I also have experience with more than one dog at a time too. At home we had three, and in the past my Mum fostered, sometimes we'd have as many as four.

Holly was awesome - fast replies, took on my last minute booking, and was great with my dog Judy. She checked in on how the walk went and sent photos as well. Would absolutely book Holly again.

Holly is a dog loving, responsible, caring and all round fabulous human being. She has had lots of experience with dogs … having grown up in a house that always had dogs (from delivering puppies on her own to comforting and holding an old unwell dog in her lap and her arms while the vet puts that dog to sleep). She’s dealt with all the awkward situations that come with being responsible for a dog, from breaking up fights in the park, dealing with the mess of a dog with a very upset stomach, remembering to give a dog medicine, getting them back - when they’ve gone off too far, apologising when a dog has been a bit too rough playing with other dogs in the park, you name it, she’s dealt with it. She loves dogs and always wants to be with them, whether that’s walking with them, feeding them, cuddling and talking to them. Holly is a lovely, interesting, full of personality character and couldn’t be any better qualified as a dog owner / sitter / walker. The dog will love her and so will you.
