Highlights
Pet care experience
Reliable, friendly and dog-oriented
I've looked after a range of dogs, both in their own homes and in my own for the last 10 plus years. I love taking long walks in the countryside with my rescue dog Brinkley, and he gets very excited when a friend comes to play. He's happy to show puppies the ropes of play and how to find the best smells on a walk, and equally enjoys his walks with his older pals who just want to take it slow and enjoy the scenery. I also do solo walks with dogs who prefer some one on one time and on wet days we do inside play and plenty of enrichment activities. I've fostered dogs over the last few years and understand varying needs of dogs, some like a lot of attention and touch, whereas others are just happy to be in the same room as you, so I like to meet them where they're at and make every session a positive one.
Cat care experience
Holly also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.

Safety, trust & environment
For all first walks I keep new dogs on a lead so they can get used to me and we can build a trusting relationship. In your own home we will discuss whether your dog has access to a fenced garden/ play area.
Ratings and reviews
Holly is pleasant and personable to deal with, and is efficient and organised in handling arrangements. She came to feed my cat at home for a week, and sent messages to assure me of her wellbeing. My cat was relaxed and content on our return, so clearly had made a new friend.
I have known Holly Shellard for almost a year and a half in several different capacities. She is incredibly organised and efficient. She is highly skilled in public relation through her work as a dietician, Luxury Property Care Specialist and Human Resources. As well as having her own dog, she fostered and/ or cared for dogs when people were on holiday or unable to care for them due to illness. She walked my dogs for a period during the day when I was at work. They needed special attention as they were both recovering from surgery. Holly was very reliable and understanding towards their needs.

I have a flexible schedule so I can fit walks in around your dog's needs, whether that be a long walk or a quick toilet break.
