When house sitting I do not schedule any other families for walks or drop-ins. The care I provide is all inclusive so that your baby gets all of my love and care. If I am not house sitting, I’m available everyday after 11am for walks and drop-ins within a 1 mile radius of lower Rockridge or easily reachable by public transportation. To ensure safety and comfort, I won’t be walking any other dogs outside of your household.

Safety, trust & environment

I am available to spend time with your pet(s) in their home where they will be the most comfortable. I’ll come to you for walks.

Information Hollie S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know how your dog gets along with other dogs so that we can walk accordingly. Also, special bathroom habits and if there are other special needs around the house. Most importantly, please let me know if your pets might have a difficult time adjusting to being without you. Like not wanting to go out for walks or eat the first day that you’re gone. Our time together will be more relaxed if I know this in advance.

A typical day

We’ll go out for a full sniff of the neighborhood 1-3 times a day depending on what service you request. Play with toys and give lots of pets.

Love and Care When You’re Not There

Pet care experience

For the last four years I’ve lived in a home with two Rhodesian Ridgebacks. One was a senior at 13 years old and the other is three. I’ve learned how to adapt to their different needs based on age and personality while setting boundaries and aligning to my Housemate’s desires for their care. (Which has helped me get to know new dogs pretty quickly.) We walk, play and cuddle. When needed I administer medication, feed them, and sometimes cook for them. I look forward to chatting with you about your family’s needs.

Hollie watched our senior old man dog while we were away. It had been over a year since we’d last left him with a sitter and she was very communicative and sent lots of pictures and updates that helped ease our minds. Was courteous and thoughtful in doing laundry for us so it was clean upon our return home. A great sitter and would recommend her to anyone!

Hollie is wonderful! Very communicative, confident and knowledgeable with dogs, and we got lots of great pictures while we were missing our boy.

Hollie is the best. She's thoughtful, attentive, and communicative. She truly went above and beyond when some big challenges arose during her stay -- and our dog was still so well cared for. Thank you Hollie!

Hollie took wonderful care of my dog while I was away for a week. She asked thoughtful questions about care instructions before my trip, was sweet and in-tune in her interactions with my dog, and was a great communicator with me all the way through. Would recommend. Thank you, Hollie!
