You may have seen this on some of my other accounts, but in case you missed it, my partner and I bought a house and picked up the keys this week!! π β€οΈ
This is such a huge moment for us that we've been working towards for years, and as you all know Hollie's Doggies has been a huge part of that. We simply wouldn't have been able to buy so soon without the money I've earned through Hollie's Doggies so I am eternally grateful for everyone's support. I never really expected it to be as popular as it was, so much so that I had to start turning new clients away! π
But unfortunately this good news comes with sad news too... Our new house is near Cardiff, so unfortunately this means I will no longer be offering dog sitting services in Bristol ππ I am genuinely gutted to have to say goodbye to all your lovely dogs - I have loved getting to know every single one of them, whether I had them for a few hours or a whole weekend!
I know how hard it can be to find reliable dog care you trust 100% and I'm sorry I won't be able to give you that anymore.
What happens next I'm not sure... Will I start dog sitting near Cardiff? Maybe, I haven't really decided yet. But I know I don't want to do this full time (too much time away from my baby! πΆ) and as a result, I think it will always be too much to do as much as I've been doing AND something else. But maybe there's a sustainable balance to be found π€
I'm definitely going to take a few months off so the sits I have booked in now I will complete but beyond this I won't be booking anymore, and then in the new year when it's time for my insurance to renew, I'll have to have a think about what the future of Hollie's Doggies looks like.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I'm sorry and thank you β€οΈπΎ
