Holly took great care of our senior Akita boy, Caesar. Great updates, excellent treatment and attention. Would recommend for any pet owner. Thank you!

Holly was fantastic. Her daily updates for the check ups were always a pleasure to read, and I felt at ease knowing my girls were well taken care of.

Holly is one of the very best sitters we've ever used! Professional, great communication, and went above and beyond to take care of our cats and keep us comfortable with their care even over a short trip. Will absolutely use her again!

Holly was so amazing and took great care of my kitty! She left me with such nice and detailed updates of her visits, along with pictures of my cat. She also extended her visit by a day last minute. I would recommend Holly to anyone!

Information Holly K. would like to know about your pet

Important for me: Would love to know what you know about your kiddo's likes, dislikes, favorite toys/games, scritchy spots, grazing patterns, bird treat, or cattoy! Important for you: Animal care is my passion and professional goal. Have experience with farm management, small animal care, grooming, training, and more. Please feel free to ask questions - your kiddo's health and well being is my priority!

A typical day

Its your call - some dogs thrive on routine, other prefer to get their energy out in the backyard. My own pup is partial to the woods; I'm open to whereever!
