Hi everyone ,
Here are July's photos. I have some news to share with you guys so will do a separate post for that . ( I am really excited 🙂)

1st photo Hi my name is Percy and I love Socks . Holly gets so confused with why I do this . Here is a Percy hint They smell nice and even better when they have been worn by humans . ( Holly thinks other wise 😂🤢)

2nd photo Pup
He is a 9 year old Patterjack who loves his walks. What I love about him the most is at his age people think he will be a slow plodder. Nope he is a big ball of energy and always on the go 🥰❤️

3rd photo

5th photo

Sorry about the blurry pictures for the last 3 . They are dogs who always want to be on the go playing . Can never get them to stay still 😂. Again the owners have asked not for details to be shared so will respect their wishes 🙂

Hey Guys , hope everyone is well here is this month's pictures 🙂 I have had 3 new clients that have joined me and I am excited to show you them😍

Photo 1 - Percy
Here he is enjoying the sun with his ball that he absolutely adores .😍 He is either playing with the ball or playing with things he shouldn't such as stones 😂

Photo 2 - Dakota
Here is the fluffy boy telling me he wants attention 😂 He can get jealous of Willow having a fuss and vice versa so you can imagine how fluffy my clothes get 😍😂

Photo 3 - willow
This is one of the few times she is actually sitting still 😂 She is a crazy little lady that is very loving like her Brother Dakota but she shows her love with licking you constantly 😍😂



Photo 4- Talle

Photo 5- Tula

Photo 6 - Rex

Just so you guys know the last 3 photos there is no description as the owner doesn't want anything shared about them . So I have respected their wishes 🙂

03/06/2024

Hello everyone,
Here are last month's photos just so everyone knows I have got spaces for dog sitting , dog walking and animal sitting . So please get in contact if you are liking more information .

The first 4 photos are of animals I look after when their humans are on holiday. With these animals I do pop ins ( which includes giving them a fuss , checking the water , playing with them and feeding them ) 🐱🐹

Athena she is a lovely girl. I am extremely grateful that I can look after her . She is very affectionate and loves a fuss . You can always find her in a different hiding spot when you come to see her 😂😍

Luna she lives with Athena but has the opposite personality of Athena with being a little more closed off when it comes to affection . She comes running to me when I open the door as she knows I am the food giver. 😍😂

Issac is a quiet boy for a guinea pig but absolutely loves his food 😍 He isn't one for affection as he likes to be left alone but I so like to admire his colouring .🌈

Oscar lives with Issac he is very vocal 😂 he absolutely loves his food but he has the same trait as his brother Issac to not be a big lover of attention . 😍❤️

The next 3 are who I dog sit 🐶

Percy
Here I have just got to his house and the blanket in the back ground is one of his enrichment toys . The owners put things in the blanket so he pulls it apart to get his treats . He has just moved house and he has done very well with adapting very quickly . Now he has got a bigger house he likes to run all the way to the top floor and chase the ball down the stairs ⚾❤️

Dakota he is a vocal little man but I wouldn't have him any other way ❤️ here he is having a little ponder in his garden in the sun ☀️ he does love a fuss after this ❤️

Willow she does live with Dakota and it is rare that she doesn't have a toy with her . Here she is having a play in the sunshine ⭐ she isn't one to play with Dakota as he isn't too fussed so I play with her when she wants to play with someone else. She also does love a fuss ❤️

Hello everyone ,
So you know these are my new prices . You can also find them with my new price calculator on my website

Hello everyone I hope everyone had a good Easter 🐇🐣.

Before I get to last month's photos I am starting to look for more customers for dog sitting , dog walking and other pet care needs . If you or anyone you know needs this please get in touch. 😊 .

My website has also been improved so you can go on it and enquire how much a sitting , pet care , short visits or dog walking would be and it will be generated 🙂.

1st photo - Willow . She can be very timid towards people she doesn't know but once you get to know her she is as playful as can be 😍

2nd photo - Dakota is willows big fluffy bossy brother 😂 he always wants a fuss and will throw a fit if he doesn't get attention but I wouldn't have him any other way . 😍

3rd photo - Percy showing you all his 2 favourite things in his life . His ball and his stick . He will have a chomp.on the stick for as long as possibe before getting bored and wanting you to throw the ball for him 😂🥎

4th photo - Kobie in this one he has his little tongue hanging out a little bit 😍 . I am unsure.if everyone else can see it but makes him extra cute . I am unsure what got his attention in the photo as usual his mind goes away with the fairies 😂

5th photo- Jack as you can see he likes to find things (mainly sticks ) bigger than him and try and take them home with him 😂 ( but his plan never works as he gives up and drops them for a smaller stick he can handle 😂)

29/02/2024

Sorry guys I forgot to say on my month's photos that my website has been revamped🎉I am extremely happy with it 😊 so if you like to see the improvements here is the link

Hello guys ,
Wow feels like yesterday I was posting January's photos ! . Time does sure go by quick when you are having fun 😊.

I hope everyone has had a good February

1st photo
Percy- Here he is showing me his favourite chew bone . He has got his favourite blanket with Percy pig on it around him . Look at those big eyes 😍

2nd Photo
Maverick - he was extremely happy in this photo as he knew I was about to throw his stick .😍 However something distracted him . I am still unsure to this day what it was 😂

3rd photo
Koby - Here he is having his limelight which is not often due to either jack wanting . 😂 He is a loveable little Boston terrier with his quirks which include oinking 🐽🐷 at people for attention . He does love a fuss (on his terms typical man 😂).

4th
Jack
On this particular day I took Jack out on his own and he found a big stick that he was wanting me to throw for him 😱. So in typical jack fashion (after me saying no to attempting to pick it up . ) he stood his ground and thought he would take on the stick himself props to the little fella he gave it a good go 💪

31/01/2024

Hello everyone ,
I hope the first month of 2024 has treated everyone well 😊

Before I do the month's photos there is just something I would like to tell you guys about . My website www.hollystrails.com is going under refurb tonight for the next couple of weeks.

I am so excited to see what the new website will look like and I am sure you guys are too ☺️So if anyone goes on there in the mean time and sees issues don't worry this will be why .

This month's photos

Photo 1 and 2 is of Koby and Jack . Even though I walk these together they are hard to take photos of they get distracted by each other 😂 so please excuse if either kobys or jacks photo is not the best. These guys love having a good sniff about and having a play in the leaves when they fall on the ground.

Koby is the first photo as this the only time he decides to look in my direction 😂❤️

Jack is the second photo he is focused on the leaves in the distance. 🍂❤️


Photo 3 and 4 is of Dakota and Willow these fluffballs tend to want the attention at the same time and want to smother you in kisses 😘 so I have had to get separate photos of them as they tend to be jealous of each when the camera comes out 😂

Photo 3 is of Dakota waiting for his cuddles and kisses . 😘

Photo 4 is of Willow in her toy heaven. As you can imagine she finds it hard to choose which toy to use. 😍

Photo 5 is of maverick who is in a hugging mood . This is the first time I have been able to get a photo without a stick being in it 😂

Photo 6 is of Percy waiting on his designated perch of the sofa for his fuss . He does look ever so gentleman like when he does this . 😍

31/12/2023

Hi everyone I hope that you all had a good Christmas and want to wish everyone a happy new year!. I just want to say thank you for all the support in 2023 and can't wait to see what happens in 2024 !

This month I have had 2 new dogs join me called jack and koby. Jack is a 5 year old jack Russel and koby is a 2 year old Boston terrier.

A side note is if you see me walking these two guys this will be because they live together . I don't always walk them together as koby doesn't always want to walk . Also if any dogs that live together like to be walked together I make sure they are up to date on injections and wormed

1st photo is Dakota and he always greets me with a happy face .

2nd photo is willow she always meet me with the most waggiest tail.

3rd photo is one of the new boys Jack he is your tpycial jack Russel who likes to be on the hunt all the time . He loves to watch squirrels and chase leaves . So when it is dry I play a game with him which is kicking up any leaves and he absolutely loves this .

4th picture is of the other new boy koby who is a Boston terrier . He is very bossy with telling jack what to do 😂 he is a very noisy dog as he doesn't like anything that moves so you will probably hear him from a mile away.

5th picture is maverick with his beloved stick ! He loves showing them off to everyone in the park .

6th picture is Percy who on this occasion wanted to be a poser . He gives the most cutest puppy eyes ! 😍

Happy 2 year anniversary to Holly's Trails ! 🥳

I can't wait for the business to keep growing and expanding with clients. It really does mean a lot to me that I am able to share my passion and knowledge with so many dogs and humans it also means loads that people are happy for me to have their animals as i can understand from having pets myself trusting other people with your pets isn't always easy. I just want to say a big thank you to all clients , family , and my partner for keeping me going and spreading the word about my work. 😀

I say this because without you guys I wouldn't be able to write this post. I can't wait to see what will happen in the future but I am sure it will be very bright (with sprinkles of dog fur on the horizon but I don't mind ) 🐕🥳

Regards
Holly

30/11/2023

Hi everyone we have the usual monthly update photos .
I may have another client soon as I am having a meet and greet tomorrow which is exciting ! So you may see him in next month's photos ☺️

Maverick photo 1 -
You will probably see this happy boy out and about . He is not hard to miss with his happy tail and wants to say hello to everyone and all animals no matter if he is covered in mud.

Another way you can't miss him is when we are in the park he always has to find the biggest stick known to dogs 😍


Percy photo 2 - he just loves the limelight when it suits him 😂 . But look at him cute as always and it is weird to see him without his teeth poking out a little . They may have been a bit shy the day I got that photo .

Photo 3 + photo 4 are Dakota and Willow they do live together but I couldn't find a good photo with them both in 😂. Dakota is just the fluffiest boy ever and just loves to snuggle . I caught him going up to bed where that his number one place to have a snuggle with you

I got a photo of Willow as she is having her zoomies in the garden . She is a big ball of energy.
I think she will feel the cold a bit more than dakota this year but she will grow more fur as she is still a puppy . Don't worry though dakota makes sure she is warm as they do sleep together.

Regards
Holly

Hi everyone ,

Just a few things I would like to say :

First of all
Happy Halloween 🎃👻.

Secondly this month I have had a new furry friend join me. I can't wait to show you her . 🐕🐾

Without further ado here are this month's photos 😄

1st photo : Maverick
I am unsure what has got his attention in the photo but look how stunning he is 😍. He is on the mend. He is recovering well from his broken leg . (Well when he had a broken leg he never acted like it 😂) he is up to half hour walks now as the bone has healed at a good rate . So I am pleased to say he will be back on his full hour walk again very soon .

2nd photo : Percy

Today he has decided to show everyone his snuffle mat.😍 He absolutely adores this mat so much he has got 2 but wanted to focus on this one today. He can spend hours on it to the point he sometimes forgets I am with him as he is so engrossed in it . 😂🐾

3rd photo : Dakota and Willow

Dakota (left)
Willow(right)

As you can see Dakota has got a new house mate. She is a 4 month old Japanese Spitz rescue called Willow. She is extremely sweet once she gets to know you ❤️. What I have quickly learned about her is she gives Dakota a run for his money when it comes to being noisy 😂.

I love them both endlessly and I know when I go to see them that I will be greeted with lots of cuddles and licks. ❤️ As willow has not been living with Dakota long we are slowly building a bond that will become as strong as mine and dakotas 🐾

30/09/2023

Hi everyone
Just a reminder that I have spaces available for dog walking , dog sitting and also animal care .

Here are some of the services I offer :

Feeding your pet

checking in on your pets whilst you are away

Cleaning the animals cages

My animal care services are mainly for species other than dogs. I have mainly worked with small species of animals such as rabbits and hamsters and small rodents such as gu**na pigs , rats and gerbils . I do have a lot of knowledge on these species as working prior in petting zoos and farms for work placements when I was at college.

So please feel free to get in touch if you think it is a service for you 😁

This month's photos
Dakota - As always he is a happy boy to see me. 😁 I Love this fluff ball so much 😍 I always come out as a fluff ball myself as I never learn to not wear black going to see him but I don't mind .

Maverick - As you guys may remember this little ball of energy sadly broke his leg and had to recover. Now he has been given the all clear from the vets to be able to go out on a walk again . It is only 10 -15 minutes at the moment till November to build up the muscle in his leg. As you can see he is very excited at the idea of being outside. This explains why it is a side photo of him as he wouldn't keep still 😍😂

Percy - He is showing you the larger than life grin. His teeth did decide to make an appearance but I don't mind it makes him even more loveable ! 😍

Regards
Holly

We will support American Bully XL dogs and their owners however we can 💛

If you own an American Bully XL type dog, you can start preparing them for the restrictions by making sure they are trained to happily wear a muzzle.

We’re offering free online sessions to help you do this and will cover:
👉 information about the most suitable types of muzzle
👉 how to ensure a good fit
👉 how to teach your dog to enjoy wearing their muzzle.

These sessions are designed to support owners of American Bully XLs in light of the recent news, but all dog owners are welcome to attend.

Hi everyone
Here are this month's pictures for you guys :

Dakota as you can see from the photo he loves the camera. He did his best smile for me so thought I would share it with everyone! .

Percy he is with his friends the sheep and the carrot . He loves his chew toys especially the stick he has in the photo.

Maverick good news for him . he is no longer in the cast and cone ! He is a lot happier due to not being so restricted . he is now back to playing and running around. So it will be back to walking him as soon as possible .

Regards
Holly

A great way to keep your furry friends cool 😎

30/06/2023

Hi everyone
Here are this month's photos !

We have got :

Dakota - My little snuggle buddy .🥰 If he is not snuggling you it will be because he is barking at you for not snuggling with him 😂

Percy - he is starting to grow into the adolescent phase now ! Don't let the size of him fool you 😂. He loves to play I struggle to take pictures of him playing as he never stays in one place 😂

Maverick - sadly he has broken his leg so he is on recovery for 8 -10 weeks so it is pop ins for him at the moment . He is on a strict list of things he cant do such as bouncy around and playing but he likes to try 😂

Regards Holly

31/05/2023

Hi everyone,

Here are this month's photos 🙂

Dakota has had a bit of trim as you can probably tell . He is getting to grips with not having his normal fluffy fur .

Percy is loving the sunshine I still can't get over how small he is 🥺

Sally is doing her normal side eye for a photo. This is because she doesn't like all the attention . 😂

Maverick is enjoying his stick in the sunshine . Sticks are his favourite thing after food .

Buddy ( Boxer ) and Mini ( maltipoo) joy to look after both . Buddy loves his cuddles and forgets his size . (He thinks he is a lap dog 😂) Mini loves to cuddle and nap on you

Olaf and Sven - Cockatiels Sven is the nosiest bird I have met but he did keep me entertained.
Olaf was very happy just ignoring Sven as much as possible . when they were let out to have a fly around Olaf did come and sit on my head for a while for attention .

Regards
Holly

01/05/2023

Hi everyone,
Here is the post of April photos we have had another client join us called Percy. He may be small but has a voice on him when he wants to use it . 🤣He is a Yorkshire terrier puppy who has puppy visits since being too young to be walked.

Sorry about maverick's photo guys . I find it hard to take photos of him as he never stops sniffing for long 🤣

In photo order
Maverick

Percy

Sally

Dakota

Regards Holly

07/04/2023

Hi everyone,
I would like to say I hope all of you guys are enjoying the sunshine also I would like to wish you all a Happy Easter :)

Holly

HIi Everyone ,
The Pups name that has just recently joined me is called Bleu and his Breed is a whippet . You can see him on the post below :)

01/04/2023

Hi Everyone ,
Here are my photos of March . I have had a new dog join the team . Could anyone guess the breed and his name ?

A bit of background of his name he spends most of his time in the cage due him breaking his front right leg he has come out of the cast and cone but still in the healing process . As he is a pup we have to keep him confined i.e limited play time due to him bouncing around and there would be more chance of him hurting the leg. If is a good boy ( which he is most of the time 🤣 ) he will come out for 10 minutes max so he can have a fuss but he has been to be calm then will go back in his cage.

Other dogs are
Sally
Maverick
Dakota

Regards
Holly

28/02/2023

Hi Everyone,
Here are February's photos it has been another busy month.

Sally - can be difficult to get a photo of her as she doesn't like the noise of my camera on my phone 🥺 I did get a photo successfully today of her enjoying the fresh air

Dakota - Is still the prince of being vocal and fluffy 😂 . I wouldnt have him any other way though .

Maverick - The 'sometimes' mischievous pup. I am sorry guys i struggled with getting pictures of his face as he doesn't like to stay still . He wants to be on the go all the time 😂

UPDATE :
There will be another little pup joining my services from March so keep an eye out for him in the next lot of photos !

Holly
