Highlights
Pet care experience
Guaranteed quality pet care!
Apart from having been brought up around animals (dogs, cats, rabbits) since I was very young, I’ve been a pet sitter for a couple of years in Manchester now. In that time, I’ve probably looked after around a dozen or so animals (many of whom have been repeat clients). I’m here now as I’m super keen to continue being a pet sitter in my spare time as it’s been a genuine joy and pleasure looking after people’s furbabies. I feel like I can confidently say I’m good when it comes to cat and dog behaviour and know when they want love (whether in the form of cuddles or food) or just wants to be adored within a reasonable distance. I can guarantee that I will take to your pets as if they were my own! All I need from you is to tell me exactly how I can be of service, whether that be walking your dogs, taking care of your cats or checking in on your tortoise. I promise to keep you updated with daily photos of your little loves and am happy to stay for a while and keep them company, should you wish. Whatever character they may have, I will be absolutely respectful of your wishes in taking care of them so as to ensure they’re happy and content for your return! I work from home but it’s pretty flexible! So I’m free to pop by and walk your dog in the morning, lunchtime, or evening! I’m also free for whatever you need on weekends! What’s more, if you need me to stay with your dogs at your place, i can do that too any day of the week! I can’t currently board pets at the moment as I have a small flat with no outdoor space, so it would be unfair to bring your pets here in the meantime!

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
At the pet owner’s home, the pet is always my priority! I always make sure to abide by the owner’s preferences though, so if your dog is a little shy at first and needs time to get to know me, I’ll be sure to work on building that rapport first. Otherwise, if your dog is a keen bean and has lots of energy, I’ll match that too!
Ratings and reviews
This is the first time I’ve left my cat Kimmy in the care of a sitter and Holly was so lovely, I felt so reassured that he was being well looked after while I was away! Holly sent regular updates and photos of Kimmy and is clearly a natural with animals - I would highly recommend her. Thank you Holly! x
Holly has visited Joan & Malcolm a few times now. Malcolm is a very cautious cat but has loved Holly since the first visit. It's great to be able to go away and know that he's not hiding under the bed. Holly is professional and friendly, will keep using as our preferred sitter!
Holly took such good care of our little dog. He was so excited to see Holly each day for his walk. And Holly clearly took such great care of him. Thanks so much Holly. Our little dog is looking forward to seeing you again.
Holly was great with our little dog. He very much enjoyed his walks. And Holly was even able to reschedule to a cooler time of day which was very much appreciated. Thanks Holly!
I always tell sitters that Malcolm is very shy and you won't see much of him but he loved Holly and sat on her knee! Will definitely be asking Holly again.
Holly was fab with our two kitties and won them over in no time. She kept us well updated with adorable daily pics too. Thanks Holly!

Schedule
I have flexible working hours so I can fit my work around taking care of your pets. If you need me to help walk your dog in the morning, I’ll be there! Or if you need me to pop in and check on them, that’s absolutely fine too!
- Cats0 to 7 kg7 to 18 kg18 to 45 kgHolly can host up to 4 drop-ins per day
- As always, please let me know any important information beforehand! Such as, if they’ve been poorly recently, how they are on/off the lead, what their temperament is like with other people and animals, are they good with children? But this is all things that I’m more than happy to discuss before the first visit!
