Experienced dog walker & dog lover

Pet care experience

I grew up in a multi dog household my whole life and currently have 5 of my own dogs. I've been volunteering at ACCT Philly (Philadelphia's open intake dog shelter) for over 7 years which consists of me walking, training and socializing dogs, promoting them for rescue and attending adoption events with them. I have a large amount of experience with dog behavior & training with all sizes and breeds of dogs. I've attended workshops on dog behavior and am skilled in recognizing behavioral cues. I also foster dogs through various rescues and have had over 20 foster dogs that I've found homes for (and 2 foster fails, which is the reason i have 5 dogs now lol). And honestly, I just really love dogs. It makes me happy just to be around them. A note regarding pet sitting- any dogs staying at my house will be kept separate from my dogs to make sure everyone has a stress free stay. I prefer dog friendly dogs but am equipped to deal with some reactive behavior as well. Any truly dog-aggressive dog over 20lbs will not be able to stay for the safety of all involved. A meet and greet with me will be needed before their first stay.

I have used Holly for my dogs (and rats) many times in the past. She is very responsible and always puts the care of safety of my pets first. She shows up on time, and my pets LOVE her. Her knowledge of dog behavior is a huge asset to have when you have someone caring for your pet. I highly recommend her for your pet sitting or walking needs. She is the absolute best.

Holly’s been watching my dog Max when I go away for a couple days now and she’s awesome with him – he looks forward to going to her house every time and never seems to want to leave lol. She’s reliable and trustworthy and I’ve never had issues with anything while she’s dog sitting. Her love for dogs is obvious and he really treats any dog she meets like her own. I’m always completely comfortable going away, knowing Max is in good hands.

Information Holly L. would like to know about your pet

I love all breeds of dogs! I currently have 2 dachshunds and 3 adopted pit mixes (all 5 live in complete harmony together). I've had an English mastiff and a Bernese Mountain dog (both recently passed) so i can handle anywhere from tiny to extra large dogs.

I love heading to local parks if time permits.
