Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities, whether I’m caring for them in your home or mine. If your pet is staying with me, please note I have two very friendly large dogs (a Great Dane and a Great Dane/Poodle mix). They’re gentle and love new friends, but I only welcome pets who are comfortable around big dogs to ensure a calm, safe environment for everyone. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I treat your space and your pet with the same respect and attention I give my own. I understand it can feel like a leap of faith to trust someone new, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m dependable, clean, and happy to follow your routines closely to keep your pet’s world as consistent and stress-free as possible. I also provide regular updates, photos, and check-ins so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing while you’re away.

Information Holly H. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors that I should account for, along with what their daily schedule looks like. I’d love to make sure I follow their typical routine so that they feel safe and comfortable!

A typical day

Whether your pet is playful or more low-key, I love tailoring activities and play to their energy level! For dogs, I am all about daily walks, playtime, and TONS of snuggles (if they’re into that, of course)! If they love fetch, we’ll play fetch. If they prefer belly rubs and cozy naps, I’m happy to provide that too! For cats, I know some can be playful and outgoing, and others prefer a calm presence. I’m happy to match their energy. I’ll make sure their litter box stays clean, their feeding schedule is followed exactly, and that they get as much playtime as they’re up for. I have experience with training as well, and am happy to continue any training routines you may have while you are away.

Loving Pet Sitter

Pet care experience

Hello! I’m Holly— a school counselor & pet sitter living in Western Springs with my family and two incredibly sweet Great Danes. I’ve been around animals my entire life and have experience pet sitting for dogs, cats, and even birds and exotic animals. Whether your pet is young, senior, big, or small, I’m comfortable caring for them all! I treat every home and pet as if they were my own, and am always sure to send daily updates with pictures/videos of your pet to help you stay connected when you are away. I offer pet sitting in both your home and mine (please note that my home is only an option if your pet is comfortable around large dogs). I’m happy to help with a wide range of pet care services and am always willing to tailor support to your pet’s unique needs. I’d love to connect and see if I’d be a good fit for your family. I invite you to check out my reviews, and additional references can be provided upon request. Feel free to reach out anytime. Thank you!

Absolute pleasure dealing with Holly, she did exactly what was expected, and nothing more or leas. Would definitely hire her again.

Holly took such great care of our two senior dogs. She was patient, responsible and on top of everything. I came home to a clean house and two happy pups and would book her again!

Holly and her family immediately welcomed Lincoln into their home and made sure he felt comfortable during his stay. Holly sent us lots of updates and made sure we knew how our boy was doing. Would highly recommend and Lincoln hopes he can visit again. He especially loved his playtime with Holly’s pups Layla and Piper☺️

Holly did an amazing job! She is so easy to communicate with and extremely responsible. The dogs love her and when we came home, our house was spotless. She is very receptive to the instructions we provided and communicated with us throughout our trip with pictures. We will definitely use Holly again!
