Dependable/Responsive Animal Lover

Pet care experience

I grew up in Pennsylvania around dogs, cats, birds, and more. I live in North Oakland/Bushrod with two pets: McLuvin and Ruby Soho. Growing up I was surrounded by all breeds of dogs - from the smallest toy Fox Terrier to a family of huge Malamutes. There's truly not a breed I don't enjoy being around. I’ve also had cats my entire life, some with special medical needs, and have taken care of birds, reptiles, etc. I have a natural ability to get along with even the most difficult of animals. I understand that animals not only like, but need routines, and each one has it's likes and dislikes. I do everything possible to understand them.

Holly is very kind and caring. We met her today for the fist time, following our neighboors recommendation. She was very attentive to our dog needs. We'll contact her again soon for more dog walking!

This was our first time using Rover and thus first time hiring Holly to care for our 10-yr old cat and she was great! She came at the same time every morning during our 4-day trip, provided thorough updates each day, and even got our stranger-averse cat to sit with her. We would definitely hire Holly again.

Amazing with communication. Spent so much time with my kitties! She didn’t do it just for a photo opt, she PLAYED with them! Took care of our place, made sure everything was as it should be. Super happy with service and I will definitely be a returning client!

Safety, trust & environment

I am a true animal lover and take time to get to know each pet, knowing that some take more time than others. I am trustworthy, responsible, and very clean. I also provide a very detailed summary of each visit, including pictures.

Information Holly D. would like to know about your pet

I can easily incorporate any preferences from the owner (or dog) into our routine. It’s always nice to know any favorite toys, parks, or preferences ahead time.

A typical day

The activities are very dependent on the dog or animal. I’m happy to take a high energy dog to a dog park or take a more senior dog on a nice leisurely stroll.
