Dog-lover living near JP pond!

Pet care experience

I treat every dog like my own. I am home to care for them, feed and administer medication on a consistent schedule. My sweet dog Pluto has epilepsy and I know what to do in the event of a medical emergency. He also gets along with all dogs and is a gracious host! I live near the pond in JP in a quiet neighborhood which is also near the MSPCA. Long walks to the Arboretum and treats from Polka Dog Bakery are some doggy favorites! I will not go over capacity with the number of dogs I care for at any given time. Max is 2 with my dog, depending on size. This will allow enough attention to be given to each dog. I send updates and pictures to give you piece of mind that your dog is cared for and happy while separated from you. I love getting to know each dog and their unique personality! I also host a meetup group called 'Running with Your Dog' and am studying Herbalism for work with humans and pets.

Holly is the consummate dog sitter. She is the perfect combination of professionalism and care. She is organized and responsive, before, during and after the visit. And, best of all, she takes care of our dog just like it was her own.

Holly was a great sitter for Tucker! She was proactive about reaching out with updates and even took him on a run around Jamaica Pond. Tucker had a great time. Definitely recommend Holly!

Holly was great at taking care of our pup while we were away. She was nice and caring and sent us daily updates with pictures on how our dog was, which made us happy. We felt very comfortable with leaving our pup in her care!

I felt completely comfortable leaving my dog Yoshi with her. She was super friendly and responsive. She sent me pictures of him every day during his stay, usually of their walks at both the Arboretum and Jamaica Pond. Her dog Pluto was extremely friendly and it seemed like he got along great with Yoshi. No issues at all and she will definitely be my first choice next time I need to go away.

Information Holly C. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know that the dog has been vaccinated and neutered. Good temperament and good with other dogs. For boarding: If drop-off is in the AM, pickup should be by noon. Otherwise, that counts as a day of dogsitting. I charge $5 per hr. after noon. If drop-off is in the evening, I am flexible with pickup arranged ahead of time. Of course life happens, but please be considerate with timing. Thank you! ?

A typical day

Walk by the pond and Arboretum. Hiking in the blue hills if agreed ahead of time with owner.
