Highlights
Pet care experience
Veterinary Care Assistant🐾
Hi I’m Holly! I’ve worked in a veterinary practice for 2 years and worked with animals a few years before this, so I have experience in caring for all kinds of pets and their personalities! I’ve also looked after cats and dogs in their own homes, including administering medication when needed. I’m a huge animal lover and genuinely love spending time with pets. I’m currently working full time, but I’ll happily dedicate my mornings, evenings and days off to giving your pets the care, attention they need. I’ll always treat your pets as if they were my own and make sure they’re happy, comfortable and well cared for, and I’ll be sure to keep you updated with lots of pics!

Ratings and reviews
Holly recently looked after our cat, Penny, for 10 days and she was absolutely amazing. She is such a sweet, kind person and you can immediately tell how much she genuinely loves and cares for animals. She went above and beyond while we were away, even taking it upon herself to buy Penny new toys and lots of treats, which was such a lovely touch. It was so reassuring being able to go away knowing that Penny wasn’t just in safe hands, but was being properly loved and looked after too. I couldn’t recommend Holly enough and would 100% trust her to look after Penny again. We’ll definitely be using her in the future! 🤍
Holly dog sat for my two for two weeks and they absolutely loved her. She took the best care of them and especially as they have health conditions and needed medication I never had to worry about them. She sent me regular “pupdates” and pictures to me so I never even had to worry. They had regular walks and cuddles and my anxious little man even continued to eat whilst he was with her (which is quite unlike him, he decides it’s far too stressful normally and goes on hunger strike) but that didn’t happen which made me really happy. She’s the best pet sitter you could ask for your little ones.
Holly was brilliant with my cat Winston while I was away. He can be quite shy and takes a little while to warm up to people, but Holly was so patient and gentle with him and really took the time to make him feel comfortable. It was lovely knowing he was being looked after by someone so caring and trustworthy, and I’d have no hesitation in asking Holly to look after him again.
Holly was amazing with my cat Pepe while I was away. She gave him his usual daily medication and took such good care of him, but somehow she also managed to win him over — which is saying something because he doesn’t really like anyone! I’m very protective of Pepe and wouldn’t trust just anyone to look after him, but I’d happily trust Holly with him. She’s kind, patient and genuinely loves animals, and it was such a relief knowing he was in safe, loving hands while I was away.

Safety, trust & environment
Unfortunately I would not be able to accommodate your pet at my house, however I am more than happy to travel to and stay in your house if needed to ensure your pets have company and are staying in an environment they feel safe in.

A typical day
On my days off, I will take your dog on long walks filled with toys and attention, give them their food and spend lots of time with them so they don’t feel lonely while you are away. For your cats I will play with them as much as they like, make sure they are well fed and watered and give them affection and attention throughout the day. On the days I work I will devote my evenings to providing attention to your little ones and I will prioritise a nice walk for your dogs to stretch their legs!
