Highlights
Pet care experience
Solely dedicated to your dog's care
I've been around dogs almost my whole life. We got our first family Labrador when I was 7, and since then, I've had the joy of caring for dogs in a more independent and full time capacity for the past 6 years. While I don’t currently have a dog of my own, offering boarding, walks, and drop-ins is a way for me to spend time with the animals I love so much. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, and high energy breeds, so I understand the different needs and temperaments that come with each life stage. For me, caring for dogs is more than a service it’s a meaningful relationship. When dogs are loved, respected, and cared for properly, they give back so much more in return. It’s always a privilege to earn their trust and be part of their world.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Reggie had a fantastic stay with Holly (and Nelson). Great communication from Holly throughout with lots of photos and videos of a happy dog 😁. I would 100% recommend.
Holly Christina M. cancelled a booking 1 day before it was scheduled to begin.
Foxy was delighted to see Holly and, as ever, sad to leave here. The bonus for us was that Holly had effectively taught her to walk on the lead without pulling ( which we had had limited success with). Holly is our go to dog sitter/ whisperer!!
I honestly can’t recommend Holly enough!! She sent us lots of photos, videos and updates to let us know how our dog, Bertie was getting on and we felt totally at ease knowing how much he was enjoying himself. Bertie takes a while to warm up to new people and is quite nervous at first. Holly and her partner Nelson were so natural with him and understanding and won his trust very quickly. He adores them both and literally pulls us up the path to their door when we arrive. We are delighted we’ve found someone that we feel confident using again and again for our sensitive dog.
I was so happy to know that my furry friend was being well looked after.. I trusted Holly absolutely. She sent me regular updates and little videos which was so reassuring. He came home relaxed and content, and slotted back into home life immediately. Thank you Holly
Thank you Holly and Nelson for taking such good care of our two dogs for 8 days. Holly sent frequent videos ,photographs and updated throughout their stay, also took very good care of Izzie's paws which can be problematic. We have booked agin in May for a further 8 days.

Schedule
Caring for dogs is my full time job, which means I’m home every day and fully focused on giving your dog the attention they deserve. I offer boarding, day care, walks and drop-ins, and am here to give plenty of love, playtime, and company all day long. I can offer care for dogs from one household at a time - to keep care personal, stress free and familiar for your dog(s). I can also have two dogs from different households at the same time if you're comfortable with this and I believe they would be a good fit with one another. I have capacity for a maximum of two dogs at a time. While I generally prefer a minimum of 3 days notice for new bookings, feel free to reach out and I’ll do my best to accommodate where I can. Whether you're looking for regular support or a one off booking, I’m happy to help!
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I provide a calm, caring, and secure environment where dogs can relax and feel at home. Your dog(s) will have full access to roam around the downstairs of my house. I have patio doors which open onto a fully fenced back garden and weather permitting I have these wide open so your dogs can freely roam out and in - with supervision. Caring for dogs is my full time job, which means I’m able to keep a close eye on your dog throughout the day - no long periods left alone. I follow any specific routines or feeding instructions closely, and I am able to walk your dog once or twice a day as required.
A typical day
Dogs who stay with me will receive tailored care to their individuals needs. Whether your dog loves to play with toys, go on long walks, enjoys cuddles and company, likes some snoozy peace and quiet or loves a good treat (in moderation of course!) I will provide accordingly.
