Pet care experience

Tails on Trails - Forest of Dean🌲🐾

I have hands on experience caring for a range of pets. I currently have two pups, an energetic, young (and very greedy) chocolate lab called pickle and my polite senior shih tzu called chops, who I have cared for since they were puppies. My family and friends always rely on me to look after their pets as I always jump at the offer! I treat my animals as if they were part of the family, with love and compassion. I also have experience looking after cats, bunnies and chickens ❤️

Holly was great with our bunnies and their medication. She went the extra mile and spent time playing with them which makes the world of difference when we are not around.

Thank you Holly for taking care of Stan and for the photo updates whilst we were away. This was Stan’s first time staying with someone other than friends and family and Holly put me at ease from the start, even on the return when our flight was delayed Holly was accommodating in a very late pick up. Fabulous dog sitter and we would highly recommend Hollys care. Thank you Holly! Xx

Schedule

I am currently studying my masters in landscape architecture at the university of glos - but this is something I mostly do from home so I have lots of free time to look after pets too.

Safety, trust & environment

You will be staying with my two fur babies: pickle and chops, who are very friendly and great with other dogs - both quite submissive in nature and will give you space if you need it. I have a large secure fenced garden next to the beautiful forest where we go for daily long walks. Chops is a senior boy so a walk around our land is even enough for him most of the time. I live with my parents who work 9-5 but are also dog lovers and can help me out on weekends/days off. I enjoy walking with the dogs but equally enjoy a chilled out snuggle on the sofa!

Pets

A typical day

Lots of cuddles, silliness and adventures (depending on what your dog needs if course!) The FOD provides the perfect place for a good run around and new smells.

0 to 7 kg
7 to 18 kg
18 to 45 kg
Holly can host up to 2 pets per night
I have experience with both small and large dogs and I’m pretty strong with holding a larger dog on the lead. Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviours beforehand! I have some experience with reactive dogs: I know to be calm and patient around them or they pick up on your energy. The forest is a perfect place for a good run around so let me know if their recall is good so they can expend some energy running through the trees ❤️
