Very experienced & flexible animal lover
| Hi I'm Holly, Growing up my Nan had 7 cats & a mongrel called Prince (who was a handful & a half) so I'm well accustomed to the shenanigans of being surrounded by pets! I'm a dog lover at heart & express this as often as possible with my Mum's 14 year old chihuahua Betty, who's a pampered pooch indeed :) Unfortunately my Mum's in London so I don't see her that much. I'm an NLP Practitioner & Coach so spend most of my time working from home. Being a natural people's person I work part time at M&S & enjoy long coastal/country walks with friends. The only thing missing from my life is some furry little friends/Angels - as I like to call them. I have a lot of experience looking after small dogs, transporting, walking, feeding & nursing them back to health. This includes administering oral medication & playing games to get them to eat it! If you were to entrust me with your dog I would give him or her all the love, attention & focus as if they were my own. I'm flexible with times being available most afternoons & evenings, including overnight sitting if required. If you would like to know more please get in touch with any questions you have. Thank you for your consideration. Holly

Fully Insured professional fun loving animal lover
| I've been looking after dogs & cats most of my life & absolutely adore everything about them. I love walking them, training them & watching it all fall into place for them. I currently have a rottweiler who has been hard work from when I bought him home at 7 & a half weeks, but with love, a firm but fair hand & positive training he is (according to everyone we meet on our walks) a very well behaved boy for nearly 3yrs old & 48kgs! I've also owned an English Bull Terrier who when I got her at the age of 3 was apparently untrainable. I had her sitting at each kerb to wait to be told to cross the road (on & off lead) walking to heel (I like to use close but I'm happy with whatever suits you) waiting to be told to eat & of course please, all of which my boy now does along with "sorry", leave, give & drop, recall is also very important & to "watch me" so that you are the most important thing no matter what else is going on! I love helping people who are having problems or need help due to work commitments & an understanding of what each individual animal needs. But, most of all I love giving lots & lots of fusses & having lots of fun.... I have plenty of references from my customers should you require them.
