Holly and The Dogs
Hi, I’m Holly! A dog walker in Winchester, Hampshire. At Holly and The Dogs, we believe dogs deserve more than just a walk. Our small, well-matched group walks take dogs to the beautiful Hampshire countryside, where they can sniff, explore, swim, play and simply enjoy being dogs. Led by an IMDT Certified dog walker, every outing combines adventure with positive, reward-based training, helping dogs build confidence, practise good manners and enjoy safe, lasting friendships. Dogs travel safely in secure, crash-tested crates, and our popular Adventure Days offer even bigger adventures to beaches, the New Forest and beyond. ➳ IMDT accredited - Dog Walking: Care, Welfare and Professional Practices ➳ IMDT PETdog Gundog ➳ IMDT Canine Body Language ➳ Emergency Canine Care with Dog First Aid ➳ IMDT K9 First Aid Refresher ➳ Voted Winchester’s Best Dog Walker 2024 & 2025 (Quality Business Awards) ➳ Dog Walking Company of the Year - Hampshire, Prestige Awards ➳ Top 3 on Three Best Rated - Dog Walker in Winchester ➳ 9 years experience in the professional field ➳ Continued training in gundog skills ➳ Secure dog crates with vet bed and fans ➳ Dogs washed off at the end of walks ➳ Comfortable group sizes ➳ Focusing on positive reinforcement techniques only ➳ Community chat for regular updates ➳ House and dog sitting available for regular members

Ratings and reviews
Holly has been catsitting for us for many months now and she is always reliable, responsive, friendly and genuinely caring. We always get updates from Holly when we’re away and we come back even from our longest trips to find a happy and relaxed cat. I cannot recommend Holly enough!
Holly is amazing, very professional and reliable. She looks after our two cats every time we travel and house sat for us in the summer for a week. I highly recommend her services.
Holly recently looked after our 4 month old pug puppy. Not only was she great with him (taking him to meet other dogs) she also kept us informed everyday about what she and Oscar had been getting up to. So happy with what Holly did for us and our dog and will definitely be using her again and telling my friends about her great and professional service! Thanks again Holly!
Holly has cat-sit for me a number of times and has done a wonderful job of caring for my kitty whilst I’ve been away. She always texts you when she sits and sends you photos of an obviously happy cat whilst she is there. Great service and my cat loves her! Highly recommended.
Holly looked after our new 10 week old Cockapoo puppy today for the first time and not only did she take some gorgeous photos of her (very talented photographer!) but Halle is now crashed out having had a thoroughly lovely time playing with Holly in the garden! If you’re looking for a caring, trustworthy pet sitter in the Winchester area then I can highly recommend Holly!
