ABOUT US
OUR APPROACH
The pet care service your pet would choose
Holty Paws aims to be the dog walking and pet sitting service your pet would choose.
​
We are a family of reliable, friendly and fun animal lovers and we thoroughly enjoy walking, playing with and caring for your pet as much as you do.
​
In addition, all of our walkers have completed Pet First Aid training, are DRB checked, we are NARPS UK Accredited and comprehensively insured with public liability up to £5 million.
​
We specialise in small-group dog walking, weekend dog-treks and cat feeding services but we also offer a wide range of services - and if you can't see what you need, please just ask us!
HOW IT WORKS
When you first contact us, we'll have a chat and then arrange a 'Meet and Greet' visit. This allows you to introduce us to your pet and advise us of any special requirements they may have, so that you can see for yourself that your pet is happy with us, and you can feel confident leaving them in our care, knowing they will be well looked after.
Once you have decided that you will choose Holty Paws, you register on our secure booking portal, creating a profile giving all care details about your pet and contact details for yourselves. Once set up you can send future booking requests to us, update your pet's details with special dietary needs for example and even leave access instructions if you won't be at home when we come to visit your pet.
​
Of course, if technology isn't your friend, we can also arrange your dog walking, pet feeding, puppy care, house-sitting or whichever service you need over the telephone or email.

She is now able to combine two careers and is looking forward to spending time out and about with your dogs.
