Safety, trust & environment

I will make sure I safely enter your home without letting your pet escape. I will ensure all doors are locked when leaving the home. I will read and follow any instructions you have to keep your pet safe. I will gladly meet with you beforehand to make sure we are a good fit!

Information Holly A. would like to know about your pet

I’d love to know your dogs activity level. How long can they last on a walk? Do they prefer to sunbathe? It’s also great to know how your dog might react to seeing another dog on a walk. Obviously any health concerns I should be aware of would be helpful.

A typical day

I love taking dogs out for a walk in a nice park! I enjoy taking my time to let them smell all the smells while also getting in some exercise. If a dog just wants some snuggles and butt scratches I’m all for it! I love watching curious cats play with their mouse toys and chase a laser!

Former animal caretaker

Pet care experience

I have never been without a pet! Growing up I was always the main caretaker for our cats, dogs, birds, lizards, and hamsters. My love for animals led me to a degree in Biology to learn more about animal behavior and conservation. I worked full time at an open play doggy daycare for 2 years with all sizes and breeds! I made sure every dog felt loved and happy while maintaining a clean and safe environment. I also ensured all dietary needs were met and medications administered. I also cared for labs animals such as rats, mice, and fish for 2 years. Overall, I have an abundance of love for animals and truly believe they deserve all the care and love in the world.
