Here to spoil your pets 24/7!! :)
Pet care experience
I have had my own dogs since I was 5 years old (currently: age 32), so I have spent over 25 years of my life taking care of dogs! I was always held responsible for taking care of my own dogs; my parents wanted me to be the potential challenges/concerns which taught me so much about caring for animals (dogs mostly)! I know how challenging it can be to find a good, reliable, dog-obsessed pet sitter that you can fully trust to take care of your fur babies, these days. I have experienced major “dog mom anxiety” every time I’ve had to leave my dogs with anyone else besides myself; even if they’re staying with a family member or friend, it’s still SUPER stressful (for me, at least). I am always skeptical and it’s never easy to leave your dog(s) at home while traveling. Well, if your looking for someone well-rounded, dependable, trustworthy, who knows the ins and outs of dog/pet care, including what to do in case of any pet-related emergency, then I’m your girl!! After working for many years as an ICU nurse, I’ve proven to be an extremely responsible, thorough, detail-oriented, & dog-obsessed adult. I am a HUGE dog lover! :) I currently have 2 dogs, Bear & Beaux. They are both rescues and are corgi mixes. They are the loves of my life. They are basically like my children, and they are SUPER spoiled! I have not had any experience in dog sitting/walking for others' dogs yet, but I believe that my personal experience with my own dogs for the past 20 years makes me a great candidate for this type of position. A little bit about me: I am currently working as a Registered Nurse in the Tra

I follow your specific instructions to a T when taking care of your pets. Just make me a list of anything & everything you want/need for your fur baby; any special requests for your pet will be done exactly as you’d like me to. I have thrown birthday parties for several doggos while staying in my home on their actual birthdays, with party hats, birthday bandanas, doggy bday treats, etc. all included in your dog boarding pricing! Birthday parties are free of charge. Oh, lastly I should mention photos. I love doing doggy photoshoots, and I always get carried away and take about 50-100 pics in 1 sitting. I am constantly taking photos and videos of the pets I’m sitting for, and I will send you (the dog parents) tons of photos and videos on a daily basis. However, if you want more photos or videos, or even if you’d like to FaceTime with your pet, I can easily arrange that for you. And I’m always more than happy to send additional pics and videos-just ask! My yard is HUGE and fully fenced, with the fence encompassing the entire front/back/bilateral sides of my house. It’s literally a dogs paradise they all have so much fun running around like crazy out there 😆. I can handle anything; I’ve seen and done it all. My goal is to meet your needs and your fur baby’s needs to the best of my ability! Your fur babies will be SO spoiled by me while they are here!!! I can’t help it; it’s impossible not to spoil them! :) I do this because I LOVE it, and I’m truly passionate about dogs. I have dog-proofed my house, eliminating any potential hazards or safety risks. My 2 dogs have been quite naughty in the past…so, my boyfriend and I have taken excessive safety measures in our home to prevent any potential injury or illness for dogs who like to be a little devious at times lol. Thanks. :) -Holly K.

Information Holly K. would like to know about your pet
I am totally flexible! I would love to take care of dogs of all breeds/personalities. I am comfortable administering medications/taking care of dogs with medical conditions. However my top 2 questions would be: 1) does your pup get along okay with other dogs? 2) is your pup kennel trained? Also, if your pet has any specialized needs or if you have specific requests regarding their care, just let me know! If you can write your instructions for me and your pup on a piece of paper and/or text it to me, that would be very very helpful!
A typical day
I am totally flexible and willing to go on walks wherever the owner prefers, for any amount of time per the owner's request. We will play fetch, etc. (whatever your dog enjoys!) I love playing with my dogs, and every dog I see wherever I go. Lots of snuggle time goes on in my home! Rotating between playtime and snuggle time seems to be a big hit amongst most of the fur babies that stay in my home. :)

Availability
I’m a licensed Registered Nurse and a certified “crazy dog lady”😜 lol. I recently separated from my employment (mid-March, ‘23) after working as a Charge Nurse in the Trauma ICU for over 8 years. So, I’m currently available FULL-TIME for all pet care services(dog boarding/house sitting/doggy daycare/drop-in visits/in-home pet sitting, pet transport, and more!!! 24/7! Feel free to text me anytime, day or night; it’s never too late or too early to text me! I have absolutely LOVE being able to help out my fellow doggo parents and kitty parents when they are traveling or working. I treat each individual pet/dog as if it he/she were my own. I try my best to put myself in the pet owner’s shoes, and I ask myself, “what would I want for my fur babies, if I were the one having to be away from my dogs while traveling or working?!” I have been doing pet sitting as my “main hustle” , and I have loved every single moment of it. I do also offer pet transport services to & from my home, to the vet, the groomer’s, etc. I can pick your fur babies up from your house, drive them safely to my house. (Note: I drive an Infiniti Q50 4-door sedan, fully equipped with multiple doggy seatbelts for safety. Doggy snacks will also provided for any dog transport, taking into account any special dietary needs your fur baby may have. Then, when you return from your trip, I can transport your fur babies back to you, bringing them straight to you your door, with all tails wagging and smiling like crazy! 😆 My dog transport services allow you to get home, unpack(or don't unpack bc it’s lets be honest, unpacking is no fun 😉! It’s okay to put off unpacking for as long as possible, while you sit back, relax, and love on your fur babies instead!!
