Hi everyone 👋 My name is Hollie and I’m excited (and a little nervous!) to finally start offering dog walking services in the livingston area 🐶
I’m a full-time mental health nurse, a mum to two children, partner , and dog mum to our gorgeous Doberman, Bear 🐕🦺 a very well-trained boy who keeps us all in line! Caring is truly at the heart of everything I do, both at work and at home 💛
I grew up surrounded by animals and large breed dogs, including Boxers and Dogue de Bordeaux, so I’m very confident with bigger, stronger breeds. My mum is a veterinary nurse (basically the female Dr Dolittle 🩺🐾) and also offers dog walking and dog stays herself. I’ve been shadowing her, learning hands-on, and gaining even more experience and confidence along the way.
Growing up, we almost always had a rescued animal in our house that my mum was caring for, so love and compassion for animals has been part of my life for as long as I can remember — even though I chose to be a human nurse instead 🤣.
Starting dog walking (and eventually training) is something I’ve wanted to do for a long time. I’ve waited, held back, and tried to find the “perfect time”… but I’ve realised there’s no time like the present 🌱 So I’m starting small and seeing where it leads.
Because of my nursing role, I won’t have full flexibility at the moment , and I want to be open and honest about that 🤍 However, if there are ever days I’m unable to walk your dog, and if my mum has availability, she may be able to step in — meaning your dog is still cared for by someone experienced, trusted, and equally compassionate 🐾
🕒 Current availability (school hours):
🐾 Wednesday: 8am – 4pm
🐾 Thursday: 8am – 4pm
🐾 Friday: 8am – 12pm
🐾 Possible Saturday or Sunday, depending on shifts (I work either a 7–3 Saturday or Sunday)
✨ What I offer:
🐕 Calm, safe, on-leash walks

🐕 Patient, compassionate care
🐕 Photo & update reassurance during walks 📸
🐕 Meet & greet before starting
