Pet care experience

I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 12 years of experience caring for dogs of all ages and personalities. During that time, I’ve looked after everything from energetic puppies to calm senior dogs, and I’m comfortable with feeding routines, basic training reinforcement, walks, playtime, and administering simple medications. At home, I share my life with my own English Springer Spaniel, so I’m very familiar with high-energy breeds that need both mental and physical stimulation. I understand how important it is to keep dogs active, engaged, and feeling secure in their environment. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I treat every dog like my own, paying close attention to their individual needs, preferences, and routines. Whether your dog loves long walks, a good game of fetch, or just lots of cuddles, I’m committed to providing reliable, loving care while you’re away.

I can’t recommend Holly enough! She took amazing care of my dog while I was away, sending regular updates and adorable photos that gave me complete peace of mind. My pup can be shy around new people, but she warmed up to them right away—which says a lot! When I came home, she was happy, calm, and clearly well‑loved. It’s such a relief knowing I have someone kind, trustworthy, and dependable to count on. I’ll definitely be booking again!
