hampshire’s favourite family-run dog walking, Pet & Equine Care Specialists, Including Horse Box Hire
At Holty Paws & Hooves, our work grows from something simple: a lifelong love for animals.
Dogs, horses, and all four-legged friends have always been part of our lives, and caring for them isn’t just a job, it’s part of our daily rhythm.
We approach every animal with calm, kindness, and attention. Every tail wag, nuzzle, or soft neigh is unique, and we take the time to understand what makes each animal feel comfortable and happy. Whether it’s a gentle dog who enjoys a steady wander, an energetic pup needing room to stretch, or a horse who thrives with soft handling and familiar voices, our care is tailored to who they are.
Life can be busy, and routines aren’t always easy to keep. We’re here to help, flexible, friendly, and attentive, making life smoother for you and your animals.
At Holty Paws & Hooves, we treat your animals as if they were our own: with patience, warmth, and genuine heart. Because we know that love and care make all the difference.
We will be there for your animals when you can’t be.

Our Ethos
When you’re away from home, you can trust us to take care of your furry friends with all the attention, love and care they deserve, just as you would.
Be assured that we will treat your pet as we would treat our own, with all of the love and playfulness they need. That’s why, above anything else, we prioritise your pet’s comfort, fulfilment, enrichment and satisfaction.
Our ethos extends to our equine services. Lead by founder Gabby and daughter Maya, all horses we care for get to experience their lifetimes of love and affection for these majestic animals!
Our standard of care is non-negotiable
We use our own suitable domestic vehicles with tethers and harnesses for pet transport, ensuring a familiar and comfortable environment for your furry friend (no vans or crates here!)
Our horsebox is immaculately kept and maintained, your horse is guaranteed to have the comfiest ride of their lives.
We train each of our walkers personally and take special care to facilitate individual introductions to the animals and owners they’ll be responsible for.
We send you a report card complete with photos for your total peace of mind each time your furry pal is in our care.
We work with your animal to form a profound bond, helping them build confidence, social skills and trust in our care.
We strive for diversity and variety in our weekly walk locations to ensure your dog isn’t repeatedly getting the same sniffs and settings over and over.
We take special care to ensure that our group walks never exceed a small dog:walker ratio, and that the dogs in each group are compatible (i.e. single sex walks if a bitch is in heat)

“Wow, what can we say?!
We were hesitant about getting help walking Baby when we were unable to but from the very beginning we received professional and friendly service.
From the first meeting with Baby, Holty Paws filled us with confidence that she would be as well or if not better looked after than by us! Her first walk went superb, she left happy and excited and came home happy and tired. I’d say that’s a job well done!
Thank you so much for making us feel at ease and making Baby feel so special, she can’t wait for future walks with her new friends.”
