“Holli was above and beyond while watching my cats! She is so kind and responsible, and was even able to get our shyest cat to greet her! Not only did she give constant updates, but was also incredible flexible and responsive through out her stay. I can’t recommend Holli enough as I am 100% certain your pets will be in the best care! I will for sure be contacting Holli in the future :)”

“Melanie was a great help with our two cats while we were away! She took lots of pictures and gave a report for each drop in visit. Everything was perfect when we came back and the cats were well looked after.”
About: I have lived with and cared for cats and dogs my entire life. Neighbors, family members, and friends have looked to me to care for their pets. I have experience with all sizes of dogs, especially large ones! I can handle temperamental pets with gentleness and understanding. I am also great at giving pets medicine or helping with any medical conditions. I graduated December 2023 from Belmont University with a Bachelor’s of Arts. I am currently enrolled online at Northeastern University earning my Masters. I always make play with each pet and check that their environment is clean and safe. I clean up and scoop litter boxes; throw away and change potty pads. Sometimes I am asked to vacuum and water plants as well, which I am happy to do. My schedule is wide open! Pet care is my daily routine as I have cats at home. I am also a full-time pet sitter so I interact with dogs and cats weekly. I cuddle with my cats every day, they are definitely all lap cats so I am covered. They are very sweet, so they gets lots of treats and playtime. I provide plenty of space for litter boxes and I separate their food bowls so they don’t steal from each other.

“I couldn’t be happier with my experience! She took such wonderful care of Butters and my home—it was actually cleaner when I returned than when I left. She was incredibly thoughtful, always asking before making any decisions, and kept me fully informed with frequent updates and tons of adorable pictures. She made sure Butters was well-fed, washed everything she used, and even left a sweet little gift for me. Her attention to detail and genuine care were so appreciated. She’s kind, responsible, and such a joy to work with—I’ll absolutely be a repeat client!”

Margaret H.
“Margaret is a true animal-whisperer! As soon as she arrives, she gives my dog “morning affirmations,” which includes cuddling, belly rubs, and talking softly to her before taking her on a walk. When she returns, she cleans my cat’s litter box and gives my cat enrichment time while flicking a catnip toy in front of her. My cat greets Margaret every morning when she arrives and patiently waits for her turn to have attention! Aside from being great with my fur babies, Margaret is not afraid to handle my python so that he doesn’t miss out on his enrichment time either. She is literally the jack-of-all when it comes to animal care! She has the education to back up her animal husbandry expertise, and I can leave my home knowing that she can hold the fort down until I get back home!”
