Highlights
Pet care experience
Small & nervous dog sitting
I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs on a farm, so caring for them has always been second nature to me. These early years gave me a real love and understanding of animals, and I’ve carried that with me into adult life. I now have my own dog, Alf, a sweet cavapoochon who is neutered. Alf can be a little nervous when meeting new dogs at first, but he quickly warms up and becomes a friendly playmate who enjoys company. We live in Stretford, perfectly located near some fantastic walking spots such as Longford Park, Gorse Hill, and the Turning Moss playing fields. Alf and I love exploring these green spaces, and your dog will get plenty of walks, fresh air, and playtime while staying with us. I also have a car, so we can easily head out for an adventure or a change of scenery when needed. I work from home most days, which means your dog won’t be left alone for long periods. They’ll have company, cuddles, and attention throughout the day. I’ll also keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you’ll always know your dog is happy, safe, and enjoying their time with us.

Ratings and reviews
Bobby had a great time, Holly sent lots of pictures and updates and I will definitely be booking her again! Based in a great location to for central Manchester
Holly is an absolute star, this was my first time leaving reggie with anybody and she really put my mind at ease. Holly's apartment is lovely and I got regular picture updates and little videos to! Reggie loved playing with Alfie and he really enjoyed his stay! (Lots of treats and play time) Will definitely use Holly again in the future x
Thank you so much Holly for looking after our precious pet pug Bao! Came home to a very happy, very chilled dog - lovely pictures kept us updated through the day as well :)) Could not recommend more.
Holly really is a dog lover. She is caring and confident. Colin was instantly comfortable with Holly and I felt confident leaving him with her. I would recommend her as does Colin 😊
Holly is an awesome dog sitter and was amazing with our dog Alan. I got regular updates and photos so I could see Alan having a great time when he stayed with her. There is a river path nearby that she took him to for walks. Holly is very polite and checked with me to see what our dog needed to make his stay comfortable. I will have our dog stay with Holly again and would recommend her to friends & family who also need a dog sitter close to the city.
Holly has been great from the second I’ve started talking to her - the fact, that she has a puppy has instantly put my mind at ease about leaving my puppy with her! Throughout the day she kept me updated with videos and pictures so I wasn’t even worried for a second. Winston (my little 9 months old Malshi puppy) was very happy when I’ve picked him - would and will use Holly’s service again, a million %!!

Schedule
I work from home so I am always home! If I’m not home, my partner will be. I work 9-5, but I take dogs out before & after work, as well as lunchtime.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced yard and local fenced parks to take your dog for a run. We never let dogs off the lead, and we avoid other off-lead dogs for safety.

A typical day
It’s important to keep a good schedule with your dog - I take Alfie outside for regular bathroom trips and 3x walks a day. I’ve got a great collection of toys that help keep them mentally stimulated and physically active.
