Dependable/Responsive Animal Lover
Pet care experience
I grew up in Pennsylvania around dogs, cats, birds, and more. I live in North Oakland/Bushrod with two pets: McLuvin and Ruby Soho. Growing up I was surrounded by all breeds of dogs - from the smallest toy Fox Terrier to a family of huge Malamutes. There's truly not a breed I don't enjoy being around. I’ve also had cats my entire life, some with special medical needs, and have taken care of birds, reptiles, etc. I have a natural ability to get along with even the most difficult of animals. I understand that animals not only like, but need routines, and each one has it's likes and dislikes. I do everything possible to understand them.
Reviews
Holly is always very reliable and great with our dog, would highly recommend!
Holly has been our dog Murphy’s steadfast dog walker for months and months now. She is above and beyond — flexible with days, communicative, always willing to play fetch, even dealing with our talking doorbell!! We have been so lucky to have our pup in Holly’s care and would recommend her to anyone and everyone.
Holly was an excellent sitter for our two cats. She took great care of them and sent us very detailed updates during her check-ins. Both cats loved her and one of our cats is especially shy so that is a big testament to Holly's cat 'whispering'. Will definitely be booking Holly again.
Holly continues to go above and beyond for us and our pup with her weekly walks. She’s incredibly flexible (which is so appreciated with our schedule) and has taken great care of our pup while he’s been injured. Thank you, Holly!
About Holly D.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I am a true animal lover and take time to get to know each pet, knowing that some take more time than others. I am trustworthy, responsible, and very clean. I also provide a very detailed summary of each visit, including pictures.
Information Holly D. would like to know about your pet
I can easily incorporate any preferences from the owner (or dog) into our routine. It’s always nice to know any favorite toys, parks, or preferences ahead time.
A typical day
The activities are very dependent on the dog or animal. I’m happy to take a high energy dog to a dog park or take a more senior dog on a nice leisurely stroll.

Availability
My schedule is very flexible and I’m usually available on short notice for service in the Bushrod neighborhood of North Oakland and Berkeley. Since my schedule is flexible, I’m happy to provide same day cancellations to clients.
