Highlights
Pet care experience
Silly, playful and looking for some furry company!
I’ve raised and trained my family dogs (whippets) from a puppy, and I am often walking, feeding, showering and looking after my friends dogs when they are in need. I am very familiar with meeting new dogs, as I have been in dog sitters homes regularly who often have different dogs to meet and get to know. I love to meet as many different breeds as I can and enjoy learning more about each one!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Holly was great with Kiki, who can be a bit of a handful. The booking process, passing on information and the pick up and drop off were all great. She sent regular updates and photos and Kiki seemed to have a great time. We'll definitely use Holly again
We were nervous to leave Toby with anyone as he is quite an anxious dog with issues interacting with other dogs, but Holly put us at ease from the first time we met her. We really felt she knew what she was doing and would be able to keep Toby calm and happy. We received daily updates which kept our minds at ease, hearing that Toby was very comfortable and happy the whole week. We'd absolutely trust and love to leave Toby with Holly again.
We would 100% recommend Holly as a dog sitter. She was very engaged and responsive and provided frequent updates on what the dogs were up to. Our dogs seemed to have great time with Holly and got plenty of exercise and enrichment.
This was Douglas' first time with Holly, and arranged at short notice. He was eager to go in, quickly made himself at home, and I collected a happy dog. Thanks.
Our rescue greyhound, Ticky, had a great time with Holly. Communication was spot on, and we received plenty of updates throughout her stay. We would highly recommend Holly to anyone looking for a safe pair of hands to look after their dog. Thanks again! :D
Holly was wonderful with our 10 year-old lurcher, Stringer. She looked after him brilliantly and he was very calm and content with her. He can be a bit reactive on walks but she handled him really well. Would definitely ask Holly to look after him again - thanks so much!

Schedule
I currently work 9-5 Monday to Friday with the opportunity to work remotely where there is wifi. I am happy to balance work and pet care during the day, and I’m also happy to spend evenings or nights pet sitting. Occasionally I have work events in the week or weekend plans I have to attend, but my Rover diary is always kept up to date.

Safety, trust & environment
With instruction I can care for pets however needed whether that’s a simple feed or walk, giving medication in food, playing tug or fetch, and I’m more than happy to give lots of cuddles and belly rubs.
A typical day
I love being in the wonderful parks of Edinburgh, my favourites are Holyrood and Leith Links. I also drive so if they are comfortable I can take pets to Braid Hills or Crammond for some beach time!
- 0 to 7 kg7 to 18 kg18 to 45 kgHolly can host up to 2 pets per night
- I like to get as much information about your pet ahead of time, so I always suggest a meet and greet beforehand so I can get all the important information and hear a little bit about the pets personality and needs.
