Holly the House Sitter

I’ve been an animal lover all my life and have provided house and pet sitting services since August 2024 in the West London/Berkshire/Surrey/Hampshire area. During this period I have lived in many different places, taken care of many different homes, and fallen in love with every pet it has been my privilege to spend time with!

I would be delighted to come and look after your home and your precious animals while you’re on holiday, providing you with complete assurance of their happiness, comfort and care. You can relax and enjoy your time away, happy in the knowledge that they’re having a great time with someone who genuinely cares for them and is focused on making sure they have everything they need.

I love to take pictures and videos of the animals I look after and will stay in as much communication as you’d like me to. If you’d like to receive pictures and videos of your pets every day that’s no problem at all! If you’d prefer contact every few days just to check in and make sure all is well, that’s absolutely fine too.

I will continue with any training that’s in progress, and follow your instructions according to usual habits (especially with food and treating). I will enjoy taking your dog(s) out for up to 2 hours walking per day, as required by their breed and their usual routine. I will keep them on a lead unless their recall is reliably good and you’re sure that it will work for us!

I will spend the majority of my day with them, in the same room or on the same sofa (if they’re sofa dogs!) whilst I get on with my work at the computer. I love giving cuddles and doggie massages. I’m more than happy for them to sleep on my bed at night if that’s what they’re used to. One dog-father told me it felt as if his dog had been enjoying a holiday at the same time as he had, with such constant attention, regular and luxurious cuddle-time and daily doggie-massage!

I have house and pet sitting insurance for up to £1M, an up to date DBS certificate, and my van insurance covers my pet sitting business.

I cover anywhere within about 50 miles of Sandhurst, Berkshire.
