Just a small town girl
Pet care experience
I grew up in a small town on the central coast on my family's ranch. I've owned and taken care of a variety of different animals and dreamed of having an animal sanctuary as a little girl. From taking care of barn cats, assisting with dog training, and competing in competitions with my horse, I am no stranger to creatures big and small. At 5 years old, my first family dogs were two Old English Mastiffs. Full grown our female was 195 pounds and our male was 210 pounds. At one point my family had 6 cats, 3 indoor cats and 3 feral barn cats which I've helped with socializing. Currently, I do not own any animals. I miss having animals in my life and will provide the love a care your furry family member needs.
Reviews
Holly was so amazing with my two doggos—both older and one with an aggressive (at first) personality. She won them both over and kept our home neat and tidy while she stayed. We will absolutely be asking her back!
Holly did an amazing job walking my two dogs and pet sitting my cat. She made sure to keep me updated and made me feel safe with her taking care of my fur babies. Highly recommend her 10/10
Holly was fantastic with my dog, Kiwi! Definitely responsible, showed a lot of affection, and even was able to teach Kiwi some basic obedience skills (i.e. lying down on command) that Kiwi has retained since. We were very impressed and would highly recommend Holly as a pet caregiver!
Holly was such a joy to work with! I have a 3 year old poodle named Luna, who immediately took a liking to her. My dog has a nervous and skittish personality, and Holly has done such a wonderful job being patient with her and showering her with affection. Holly sends me frequent pictures of my dog from their walks, and is always on top of Luna's eating schedule and goes above and beyond in providing a safe environment for my dog. I can't recommend her enough!

I make sure the animals have their needs met by making sure I follow the care instructions provided by the pet's parents. I am however against any aggressive disciplinary methods both physical or verbal.
Information Holly H. would like to know about your pet
I currently do not own any pets as stated above but know that I put my entire heart into caring for your furry family members.
A typical day
I love going to long walks with the dogs I typically watch if it is something they enjoy doing. I once went on an hour long walk with a pup just to try and exhaust them. If okayed by the pet parents I enjoy taking them to the beach or dog park as well. Sometimes I like to brush dogs and if the dog gets dirty from our time out I will bath them if absolutely necessary. However I do not provide grooming services. For cats I try to provide enrichment and play time. This varies depending on the cat but many cats love playtime. Laser pointers, feather toys, and cat nip are great ways to entertain a cat. I allow cats to warm up to me at their own pace and will not try to force them into playing. And of corse lots and lots of cuddles

Availability
I am currently in between contracts at work and do freelance work on the side remotely. Since I don't have animals I have a lot of flexibility to care for other pets.
