Highlights
Pet care experience
Former teacher caring for your pup!
I grew up with dogs my whole life, and have always been a big dog lover of all shapes, sizes, and breeds! I frequently pet-sit for my friends and family, including exuberant young puppies, gentle older dogs, cautious reactive dogs, and anything in between. I love to play with and walk dogs at their own pace and preference, and am happy to help support and reinforce your training plans and pet rules. I have been an elementary teacher for just over a decade and am taking some time off, so my schedule is very flexible, and I would love to fill it with helping care for dogs in our community! I know it can be hard to leave pets at home for work or social events, but rest assured that with me your pet is in loving and safe hands so you can work, play, and enjoy life without worrying about your furry friend.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I grew up with dogs and pet-sit often for my friends and family. I have a fenced-in yard and live in a quiet, very walkable neighborhood. I am also a close driving distance to many parks, including the Laguna Lake dog park. I am happy to drive within the Central Coast area to visit, play with, and walk your beloved pup as well!
Ratings and reviews
Holly has taken care of our dog during most of our vacations over the past decade. She gives us such peace of mind when we go abroad for weeks at a time, knowing that she is not only taking great care of our dog but treating him like family. She has such a kind demeanor and animals seem to flock to her. She is extremely trustworthy, reliable, and genuinely loves spending time with animals. We are so lucky to have a pet sitter like her!
Holly is so good and patient with our somehwat fussy little terrier mix Ricky! She gets him to eat what and when he should, and go where he should...even better than we do! He's a people-dog more than a doggy-dog, so it helps that she doesn't have a dog at home right now; Ricky could get intimidated by other dogs in the house. Ricky just loves her and squeals with delight and hops on his back legs when he sees her!
Holly has watched my dog, Sadie, multiple times, and I trust her completely! She has cared for her overnight, picked her up from daycare, taken her on walks, fed her, and always made sure she was happy and well cared for. Sadie absolutely loves Holly—if I even say, “We’re going to Holly’s!” she gets so excited. Holly is incredibly loving with animals, caring, dependable, and responsible. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone on Rover to care for their pet!

Schedule
After teaching for over a decade, I am taking some time off and would love to fill it with caring for pets to help others in my community! I have a very flexible schedule and am available to visit, walk, and care for pets on weekdays between 8 and 6. I can also be available on weekends with prior arrangement.
