Pet care experience

EXPERIENCED.RELIABLE.INSURED

I’m not just a dog walker — I’m a lifelong animal enthusiast with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, from tiny toy breeds to large working dogs. I’ve also owned and cared for horses, giving me a deep understanding of animal behaviour and needs. I’m a full-time dog walker, sitter, and groomer, which means your dog is my priority every single day — not just in my spare time. I’m also canine first aid trained, so you can feel confident that your pet is in safe, knowledgeable hands. Whether your pup needs patient care as a senior, extra guidance as a puppy, or simply a friendly companion while you’re away, I tailor my approach to suit each dog’s personality and needs. If they could use a pamper during their stay, I can also provide professional dog grooming for a fresh and happy pup.

Holly provided daily photos/videos and the dogs look so happy to be with her. They will certainly miss her. I would highly recommend Holly to anyone who wants an enthusiastic, trustworthy and diligent dog walker

My Cockapoo Teddy stayed for 8 x nights with Holly last week. I had a photo everyday and he looked very happy. Before the stay we had a meet & greet and she had him for a couple of hours to take him a walk to let him get used to her. I will have no hesitation in asking Holly to have Teddy again. Lovely home and surroundings. Thank you Holly love Debbie & Teddy xx

Schedule

Pet care is my career, so I’m available 7 days a week. I work with your schedule to offer flexible drop-off, collection, and walking times. My days revolve around dogs — they always come first, and I make sure each one gets plenty of attention, exercise, and love. Grooming sessions can be booked alongside walks or sitting for ultimate convenience.

Safety, trust & environment

Your dog’s safety is my number one priority. I have a secure enclosed garden and a friendly, well-socialised dog at home to provide companionship. We live just minutes from beautiful walking spots, and I choose safe routes that match your dog’s energy level and ability. For extra peace of mind, I can crate your dog if needed, and my canine first aid training means I’m prepared for emergencies. I also make sure to keep you updated with messages, photos, and videos so you know exactly how much fun your pet is having.

Pets

A typical day

Most days start with a morning walk — sometimes in the local countryside, sometimes in the Peak District if we have more time. Dogs in my care enjoy playtime in the garden, interactive games, and lots of cuddles in between walks. For higher-energy dogs, we mix in longer adventures and active games. For senior dogs or those who prefer a gentler pace, we enjoy calm strolls and plenty of rest time. Every dog’s day is tailored to their personality and needs.

Holly can host up to 3 pets per night
To give your dog the best possible care, I’d love to know: • Their daily routine and feeding schedule • Favourite activities, toys, and treats • Any fears, triggers, or quirks • Medical needs or special instructions • How they get along with other dogs If your dog isn’t able to join me for long walks, they must be comfortable being left alone for up to 4 hours at a time, as I may be out walking other dogs during the day.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
