About Holly

Hi there! I'm Holly, and I would love to look after your furry family members.

All of my life, I have loved animals - from fur to feathers, to scales to fins, every animal I meet makes a special mark on my heart.

I'm an experienced pet carer - I've been working with animals since 2013 in both an employed and voluntary capacity. I have had hours of training in animal welfare through my roles at pet stores and through volunteering at the SPCA as both a Rabbitry volunteer and a foster parent. I also have a Certificate in Animal Behaviour and Welfare from the University of Edinburgh.

I have been looking after animals in people's homes since 2017 and have loved every minute of it. You will be able to see from my positive reviews that I am a caring and responsible person who you can easily entrust with your animals and your home.

I am willing to look after any kind of animal, including exotic animals and reptiles.

I have experience in caring for:

• Dogs (of a variety of breeds and all sizes)

• Cats (including neonatal kittens and elderly cats in need of extra care)

• Rabbits

• Guinea Pigs

• Rats and mice

• Cold water and tropical aquariums

• Reptiles and amphibians (turtles, bearded dragons, frogs, axolotls)

• Aviary birds

• Chickens and quails

I am confident and knowledgeable at administering pet medications, and have cared for a number of animals with special needs. I am willing to do long term day visits to assist you with medicating your pet to build your own confidence.

I am comfortable with the basic grooming of dogs, cats, rabbits and guinea pigs, including bathing, coat-grooming and nail trimming.

About my services:

Housesits: one night of housesitting covers up to 24 hours of care, including up to 1 hour of exercise per pet (where necessary). I do work in the week from 8:30pm-5pm (not including travel time) so your pet will need to be okay with this time spent alone. On weekends, I will spend most, if not all, of my time, with your pet including taking them with me on outings (if this is suitable for your pet).

Home visits: one home visit includes up to one hour of time spent with your pet (if they are around - I understand some cats come and go when they please!). This hour will include feeding, medicating (if necessary) and lots of play and cuddles.

Please reach out at any time, even if you just have a question! I can't wait to chat to you and to meet your furry friends :)
