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.

Holly was great with communication and pictures. Took great care of our dogs, was very understanding of my senior dog. Will certainly be having her back!

Holly was a lifesaver, staying last minute when our other dog sitter was sick! She sent lots of pictures and took great care of Lenny

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!
