Pet care experience
Dog Sitter in Bristol 🌊
I am a recent graduate with a lifelong love and interest in animals. As a child, I would draw my own pet sitting “business cards” and leave them for neighbours so that I could feed and play with their cats after school. I eventually moved on to dog walking as a teenager, and since then I have continued to look after all sorts of different animals! I spent time living in the USA pet sitting and dog walking in San Diego, and I really fell in love with the relaxed dog centred lifestyle in California and Arizona. I also volunteered as a dog walker with a local shelter for a dog walking program focused on helping rehabilitate their shy dogs. These experiences have really shaped my outlook on pet care and I hope to help your pets feel happy and at home with me. I’m a kind and trustworthy dog lover. I know how important it is to feel confident leaving your dog with someone else, which is why I make sure your pet’s comfort and happiness come first. I’d be so happy to care for your pet and I hope to meet them soon! 🐾

Our go to dog sitter! Poppy feel so comfortable with their dog and gets long well. I always get sent updates nd she always come back happy I know she win safe hands x
Holly is amazing! She is caring, responsive and always ensures our dog Daisy always has the best time. She was super accommodating of our drop off/pick-up needs and we can’t thank her enough for the help 😊
Always takes such good care of Poppy! She didn’t want to leave when I came to pick her up. I know she’s in good hands when I’m away
Holly looked after our dog Daisy again and was super! Great communication and gave Daisy lots of love and lovely walks! Highly recommended ☺️
Holly was incredibly sweet and caring with Luna. She kept me updated with lots of photos, which I really appreciated. Luna also got along really well with Holly’s dog, Teddy. She came back happy and relaxed — couldn’t ask for more.
Holly was absolutely lovely and looked after Sully for an evening while we went out for dinner. Sully was really settled when we got home and Holly was so polite and courteous in our house. It was lovely to know he was being so well looked after while we enjoyed an evening out :)

Schedule
Please check my calendar and message me to double check availability. I will aim to update my calendar once a week. If you are booking with me for the first time - I like to schedule a visit before accepting bookings so that you have the opportunity to decide if I am the right sitter for you and your dog. If you have not booked with me before, please ensure that the booking request is made at least 5 days in advance of your desired date/time for house sitting, boarding. For bookings > 5 days, I typically request that you submit your booking request 1 week in advance and arrange a meet and great. I often suggest you book an evening or one night to see if I am the right fit for your pet and also to better understand their routine for longer bookings. If you have previously booked with me - I am able to provide dog sitting and boarding in East Bristol and in Portishead (whichever is most convenient)
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I am able to provide dog sitting in East Bristol and Portishead. I have a fenced garden. I also have a chilled out dog who would love to make friends with your dog. I am happy to make any adjustments to my home that you think your dog might prefer. When I have previously done in-home boarding, I mostly spend time alongside the dog keeping them company even if it is just cuddling up watching tv while I draw to make sure they feel at ease. I always prioritise how your pet feels and respect their boundaries and needs.
Pets
A typical day
I love running around the park and playing games with my own dog in fact I probably enjoy it more than my dog does… But I also like letting dogs sniff their way around and letting them take their time.
- 0 to 7 kg7 to 18 kgUnspayed females accepted, neutered males onlyNo females in heatHolly can host up to 1 pet per night
- Please let me know of any special needs such as medication, mobility etc I should know about to make sure your dog is comfortable and taken care of. Please also let me know about behaviour around other animals and people. I am confident administering oral medication to dogs. I will request that you demonstrate this with me beforehand and also provide me with a printed version of the prescription, dosage instructions from the vet that prescribed it.
