Highlights
Pet care experience
Reliable, loving care for your pets
I have been caring for a variety of animals since I was around 10 years old. I have had pet dogs since the age of 9 and have been responsible for training them throughout their lives. Over the years I have also dog-sat, cat-sat, and cared for kittens for many friends and family members, who have always felt confident and comfortable leaving their pets in my care. I have just completed a degree in Animal Behaviour which has given me a strong understanding of animal psychology and body language across a range of species. This is one of the reasons I am keen to find more opportunities to apply and further develop my skills now that my degree is complete. My ultimate goal is to build a career working with animals so I am highly motivated to gain as much experience as possible. Looking after your animals is not a side job for me. I will treat every animal I have the privilege of caring for as if they were my own.

Holly also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.

Safety, trust & environment
Unfortunately, I am unable to host pets in my own home as I already have a dog who can be anxious around unfamiliar dogs and people. However, I am very happy to travel to care for your pets, as I have my own car. I will always treat any home I am welcomed into with great respect and will make sure everything is left clean and tidy. When caring for your animals, I will carefully follow any instructions you provide and do my best to maintain their usual routines so they feel as comfortable and secure as possible while you are away. When walking dogs, their safety will always be my top priority. I will stay attentive and careful at all times ensuring they have a safe, enriching walk that suits their individual needs.
Ratings and reviews
I cannot recommend Holly highly enough. She put our minds totally at rest while on holiday. We received daily updates showing us how relaxed and comfortable our labradors Alfie and Ruby were, totally spoiled. Pictures of her playing with them in the garden and out for walks. Alfie sometimes suffers from itchy skins his nose and eyes suffer too. Holly text as she was concerned, we told her to put him back on his medication. She text to let us know it has settle down again. I have no hesitation recommending Holly for housing sitting she was a total star. I had to laugh my neighbours saw her out walking them, they ask how well behaved they were yet when they see me their pulling like mad and barking. Hollys given me some tips to try fingers crossed I get as good as her.
Holly has been absolutely fantastic with our dog, Reggie, who can be quite anxious/nervous. On meeting she asked a lot of great questions, listened to Reggie’s needs, and was patient as he was nervous during their first few meets. She has taken great effort into accommodating Reggie’s needs - making his walks totally stress free and fun! It’s clear she treats animals she cares for with a lot of care, and kindness, as Reggie absolutely loves her and gets so excited to go on his walks. We honestly couldn’t recommend Holly enough!
Alfie & Ruby were excited to see Holly. As this is the first time Holly will be dog sitting we showed her round the house , garden & to go over daily routines behaviour sleep pattern walks & food etc. She has put us completely at ease for when we go off on our trip. Holly took time to listen to all Alfie & Rubys needs and that we will be very happy leaving them with her know that they will be well and truly looked after.
I totally recommend Holly! She took such good care of my dog, Ryo. I was super nervous since it was my first time leaving him with someone else, but Holly was so loving and caring with him. She kept me in the update and sent cute pics from their walks, which really helped me relax and feel good about everything. When I got home, Ryo was happy, chill, and obviously well taken care of. Thanks a bunch, Holly, for being so great with him. I'd definitely book with you again!
Holly was an absolute delight to deal with, and Harley absolutely loved her. Holly went beyond just being there and have Harley lots of love and attention
Holly is fantastic and I have user her services twice now. She is always great with Sparkles and gives me great detailed updates. I can highly recommend Holly and will definitely be back!

Schedule
I am currently only working part-time so I have plenty of time to dedicate to your precious pets. I have a few regular clients at the moment but still lots of slots open for other walks and/or drop in visits. Regardless of my schedule I will always try to make time to help whenever I can. I will also always ensure I dedicate enough time to provide the best possible care.
