Highlights
Pet care experience
Guaranteed to love and spoil your pooch :)
Myself and my fiancé, Elliot, have grown up with pets all our lives and miss having dogs around so much! We live in St Albans with both Clarence Park and Verulamium Park in super easy reach and we feel at a loss going for walks without a pooch in tow. We’re super active and love to be outside (no matter the weather). We’re a relatively low key, responsible and chilled couple. Both of us have experience looking after our family dogs as puppies, right through to old age. We also appreciate how much of a family member they are and that it’s scary leaving your dog with someone else who you hardly know - we’d of course be open to meeting anyone and their dog before needing to commit to us taking care of them - trust is so important! We promise to care for and love your pooch just as you would :)

Ratings and reviews
Willow had a lovely stay with Holly. She couldn’t wait to go in, and obviously felt right at home. Holly sent regular updates and was a really great dog carer! Willow hopes to return soon!
Holly was amazing looking after Betsy for a few nights. She sent regular updates putting my mind at rest and nothing was too much trouble (as Betsy is a fussy eater!). I think she didn’t want to come home as she was so quiet in the car home looking out of the window 😂 thank you so much!
We recently left our dog with Holly for the day and we were so happy with the communication and photos throughout the day - it is always nice to see them relaxed and being well looked after. Holly took our energetic dog on a few long walks and managed to tire him out! Our dog can be quite anxious but Holly was great at welcoming him and letting him sniff around and get used to her bourse before we left. Thanks again Holly!
Mila had a wonderful time with Holly. Great walks, great cuddles and plenty of fuss!
Thanks for looking after Hazel again, she is happy and healthy and enjoyed her time away!
Holly was amazing with Maxi- the perfect balance of giving him a lovely day of walks and affection while taking into account all the training we're doing and being firm with him as he's still just a puppy. Would highly recommend!

Schedule
I work two days a week from home, starting at 9am so can do pick up anytime before. I’m an early riser so morning walks before 9am are no problem. I have an hour for lunch break where I love to get out of the house, and from 5.30pm free as a bird! Boarding over the weekend is no problem and for all day care I’d be taking your pooch of 2-3 walks a day if that suits the dog. Of course if elderly and needs shorter/less walks that’s not a problem!

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Our garden is completely fenced of with no means of escape! Our home is around 1,000 sq ft mid-terrace. We have no problem with dogs going upstairs but of course if this is against what they do at home, we will enforce any rules you have for them so we don’t undo any training!
A typical day
With two great dog friendly parks on our doorstep and Heartwood Forrest a 10 min drive away, we’ll make sure they’re well walked and played with.
