All dogs welcome!

Pet care experience

I have been dog-crazy since I was a kid! I don’t think it ever goes away. I’ve grown up around animals and I’ve spent time looking after various breeds of dogs so I am comfortable with anything really. I grew up with a Lab Heeler X who lives with my Mom on the mainland. I miss her like crazy and would love to spend time with more four legged friends! I live downtown Victoria close to lots of greenspace and not far from the beach and Beacon Hill Park. I’m an avid hiker and walker and love to get outside, even in the rain. I work downtown Mon - Friday from 7am to 3:30pm so I’m an early riser and I’m home early enough to get lots done in the afternoons. I have one cat and one boyfriend and they are both very low maintenance. We like to get outside during the day on weekends and BBQ on the patio in the evenings. I believe that a bored dog is an unhappy dog so the more mental stimulation your dog receives the happier they will be! Whether it’s playing at the dog park, chasing a ball or going for a swim I have the confidence and knowledge to help your dog get the most out of our time together.

We were totally happy with our Dogsitting experience with Holly! She was efficient, very capable and totally responsible regarding care of our dog Finn. We returned to a happy puppy who was well cared- for and glad to see us again. We would totally recommend her regarding dog sitting and hope she is available when we are next out of town.

Holly was fantastic and took great care of our Frenchie Billie. She's not the easiest dog sometimes but Holly was completely unfazed by her quirks. She sent pictures and regular updates letting me know her and Billie were both happy and having fun. Highly recommend :) Thanks Holly!

Holly is absolutely awesome. She took care of my dog Toby and cat Blackula for six days. Toby, especially, can be a bit of a handful, so I was worried leaving him, but Holly took amazing care of him and sent news every day. I came home to two happy animals. Would definitely recommend!

Holly dog/house sat for us while we were away over Christmas. Our two large breed dogs were happy and relaxed when we arrived home and the house was tidy. Thanks Holly!

Information Holly D. would like to know about your pet

All breeds welcome but things I would like to know would be how is your dog with other dogs? Do they do well off leash and how is their recall if they are let off leash? Do they have any major diet restrictions? Do they enjoy long walks or do they prefer to sit and hang out with you somewhere? Do they bark much and are they reactive to loud noises?

A typical day

I love to walk and hike. If you dog enjoys the park and playing with other dogs I would be happy to bring them to the dog park. If they are more of a lone wolf then we can just hang out on our own and go for walks or runs together. If they like to swim or fetch we can head to the beach for some playtime in the sand.
