Our Story
"I started The Hill Walker to offer the kind of dependable, thoughtful pet care I’d want for my own. After years in a white-collar role, it felt right to step into something more grounded — spending time outdoors, working with animals, and supporting the community I call home." — David Hill
Why Pet Care?
After nearly 25 years in a professional, customer-facing role, David was ready for a change — one that better reflected his values and day-to-day happiness.
Starting a pet care business in Holmfirth brought together his love of long walks, time outdoors, and caring for animals into something honest, local, and rewarding.
About David
Married to a local and proud to have called Holmfirth home for the past 15 years, David now lives just outside the centre with his family and black Labrador, Kipper.
He knows how much the area has to offer and takes pride in providing a service that’s shaped by local knowledge, consistency, and care.
