Safety, trust & environment

I work extremely hard to ensure a safe and enriching environment for the pets in my care. If there are specific instructions, I will follow them closely and carefully. I am happy to pick up mail and take care of house plants too. Above all, I love animals and want them to be healthy and happy.

Information Holly F. would like to know about your pet

If your dog needs medication through pills, I can give it to them orally. I will follow your instructions on how to do so. I will do so in a safe way for your pet.

A typical day

I can take dogs for long walks during my visits. If your dog or cat likes playing, I can spend time playing with toys. I usually try to make sure the dogs or cats get enough stimulation and interactions with me. So I can provide belly rubs and head scratches for your pets too.

Pet care experience

I have taken care of many kinds of dogs since childhood, including a German shepherd, cocker spaniel, Bichon frise, and American Staffordshire. I also have about 5 years of experience working at animal shelters and dog and cat sitting. I have walked, fed, played with, and trained dogs, including elderly and anxious dogs and played with and cleaned up after kittens and adult cats.

We could not be happier with the incredible care our dog received from Holly! Leaving a pet behind is always tough, but we were completely at ease knowing they were in such loving, capable hands. Why We Highly Recommend Holly: 1. Fantastic Communication: We received daily updates and the cutest photo updates, which completely set our minds at ease. 2. True Animal Lover: It’s incredibly clear how much Holly genuinely care about animals. Our dog was treated like a member of her own family. 3. Professional & Reliable: Extremely punctual, highly responsible, and followed all of our specific feeding and routine instructions perfectly. Our dog is happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. We will absolutely be booking again for our next trip. If you want peace of mind while you're away, look no further!

Holly took care of our goldendoodle for a weekend. She was very responsive and we appreciated the photos and updates from her. Our dog sometimes doesn’t want to eat his food when we’re away. Holly put in extra effort into making sure that our dog ate his meals, for which we’re very grateful. The house was just as we had left it. We’re very happy with the experience and would love to book her again.
