Pet care experience
Professional, warm & friendly home
*Currently on maternity leave* My Husband and I are lucky enough to have a gorgeous and playful Chocolate Labrador, who is 6 currently. We have a huge passion for animals and chose to foster for Dogs Trust for several years, which gave us great exposure to lots of different breeds. We fostered a range of ages and characters, from puppies through to older "widowed" dogs. We currently foster for Guide Dogs too. Our girl, Nayla, loves making new friends and sharing her fun home with them. Our families also have dogs, including a Greyhound, Maltese/Shit-zu and German Shepherd - so we have a lot of experience all round and understand all dogs have different needs. We are committed to following instructions to ensure that each pet feels comfortable and well-cared for - just like at home. I know exactly what it's like to trust someone else with your fur babies, so pupdates are vital. I will keep you updated with regular texts, photos and videos so you can see them happy & settled. I promise they will be treated like one of our own ❤️

Holly is a wonderful dog minder. Our dog is always so excited to see her xx
Absolutely marvelous care for our dog. Thanks Holly 👍
Holly took such great care of our labrador Rowan during the day. She provided regular updates and ensured the dogs had breaks to sleep/unwind, as well play together. Rowan clearly loved it, she was full of positive energy when I collected her! We will be using Holly again for sure.
Perfect care for our dog, yet again. Thanks so much Holly 👍
Holly was great with our dog. She is attentive, kind and really cares about the dogs she looks after. See you soon Holly x
Tilly had an absolutely amazing time with Holly, which can be clearly seen from all the lovely photos of Tilly having fun and cuddles Holly sent throughout the week. We enjoyed our holiday so much more knowing that Tilly was staying in such a loving home. Thank you Holly xxxx

Schedule
I work from home full time in our new build home. If the weather permits, I leave the french doors open so the doggos can have a nice run of the open plan living room / kitchen into the garden, throughout the day. We go out for a walk during lunch and if your pet is overnight, we would go in the morning or evening too. My Hubby also works from home two days a week where he can support with play time and walks!
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
In terms of our house set up, doggos have run of downstairs which is open plan and the upstairs office, with me. We have a secure 6ft fenced garden, with a locked garden gate. If boarding in our home, they would sleep downstairs or we can leave the door open for them to sleep on the landing if they prefer. Our only no-go is sleeping in our room.
Pets
A typical day
A mix of stimulation is super important. Stuffed Kongs, Lick mats, Snuffle Mats and scent games are a big part of the week along with a mix of walks. It's important for the doggos to have a slow sniffy walk sometimes where their scent leads the way, as well as longer walks. We usually have a secure field booked twice a month, so if this falls within your booking and you are happy to do so, your doggo can have a good play and run there also. If you are looking for your dog to stay for 3+ nights, we strongly recommend booking them in for a trial night beforehand so they are comfortable staying with us and Nayla for a longer period. A long stay is a big adjustment for them and the trial days/nights definitely help from experience.
