Pet care experience
Hi, I’m Holly! I offer overnight boarding and daycare for a small number of dogs in my home and drop-in care for cats and dogs. Thank you for reading all details below by clicking Read All/More ➡️⬇️ 🐾 ABOUT ME 🐾 My education includes a B.A.SC. in Equine Science and Horse Management and an M.A. in Education. I carry PetCare business insurance and I am certified by the American Red Cross for dog and cat first aid. I have been background checked both in the state of AZ and CA, and I have a fingerprint clearance card. I am experienced, reliable, certified, and trustworthy. 🐾 My Experience 🐾 I grew up on a farm in Nebraska which fostered my love for animals! I learned to care for animals at a young age. My father was an AKC dog breeder for over 25 years. We operated our kennel of dogs on our farm and also showed our dogs at AKC dog shows. In addition, I trained and showed our Persian cats and horses for competition in 4-H at the local and state level. I have worked professionally as a dog trainer in obedience and security training for K-9 Academy and as a horse trainer. My experience includes caring for many different breeds of dogs, as well as cats, small animals, horses, and aquarium fish. I am experienced in caring for, medicating, grooming, and training animals.
Reviews
Our Roxie had a great overnight stay. She was welcomed and had other pups to play with which she loves. Holly was wonderful with Roxie. We plan to book her again with Holly.
Always feel that our babies are in good hands. Love that every time they come back home, they have learned a new “trick”….especially Charlie Brown! Thank you sooo much❤️
We’re so fortunate to have found Holly! Our fur baby has so much fun when staying over that we call it ‘puppy camp’. We are able to enjoy ourselves while away knowing that Waffles is being cared for an loved on by Holly and her family. Can’t recommend her enough!
Holly was great!

🐕🦺 BOARDING/DAYCARE SERVICES 🐕 I am a mom and a pet mom myself. I know it can be difficult to find a trustworthy and reliable sitter where you and your pet feel comfortable. My main goal as a Rover Sitter is to give you peace of mind knowing that your pet is receiving the best care so that you can relax and enjoy your time away! I work from home part time, so your dog will be in constant care for most of the day. I follow any “doggie rules” you may have and I take safety seriously while striving to give your pet the most enjoyable, relaxing, and well-cared-for stay. When dogs stay with us, I take several precautions: - I accept only a small number of dogs for boarding/daycare at a time. Dogs are personality tested before their stay to determine if they will be a good fit with any other boarders that might be staying at the same time. - All dogs are fed only what you provide for them. They are fed separately in their own areas which may include in a separated gated space, a crate, or with me sitting beside them if they are a timid eater. If they are eager eaters, they are fed in slow feeder bowls. - Dogs are not left together unattended, both inside and while playing outside. - All dogs are separated in areas in my home, crated, or kept in a secure area if I need to make a quick errand during their stay, which is not often, as I am home all day. - Dogs from different homes sleep in separate places, which may include their crate, their pet bed in our room, or with my teen kids in their rooms. -Each dog is given individual attention and love, and treated like part of our family. Our place will be your dog’s home away from home while you are away! 🐈⬛ DROP-IN SERVICE 🐩 I make sure your pet feels safe and cared for, spend time with them in whatever way they prefer, and send as many updates as you would like with pictures and occasional videos of your pet playing, relaxing, and having the best time. I am passionate about what I do and I love taking pictures! I have been fingerprinted and background checked. I have a fingerprint clearance card, so you can feel confident having me in your home for drop ins. See happy pet clients on Instagram @holly_petsitting

Information Holly M. would like to know about your pet
I will send you a Google form to complete and arrange a Meet and Greet before booking to review your pet's personality and care. If your dog is staying for boarding or daycare, I require them to be up to date on core vaccinations within the past 3 years and house trained. I cannot accept aggressive, high-energy, or high-anxiety dogs. Safety is a priority for me and I ask that your dog has had some experience with being in a crate in case there is a time when they need to be crated for their safety. I prefer dogs that are under 65 pounds. If staying overnight, please provide food, any treats/meds that they are used to eating and that you want them to have for their stay, as well as arrive at drop off with your dog on a collar and leash. If your pet is not feeling well on the day of your booking, please discuss their illness with me before dropping them off. Dogs that stay with us will be treated like part of the family and have a home away from home while you are away. I look forward to meeting you and your pet!
A typical day
Dogs staying with us will enjoy our fenced backyard with large turf space, go on walks around the neighborhood or in the many parks and deserts in our area, as well as receive both physical and mental exercise with different enrichment activities based on your dog's breed and individual needs, and maybe even a quick basic training session. Our family loves animals and we will keep your dog entertained, safe, and happy. Dogs that stay with us are treated like part of the family and will receive top-notch care.

🐾 OUR PLACE 🐾 Our backyard has a secure, high-block walled yard that is snake proofed and has artificial turf and plenty of space to play and romp with trees that provide partial shade. In the house, I have several areas that I can section off if needed and our home has been doggie proofed. Dogs that stay with us are allowed to be part of our family. I work from home most of the day. I have a Goldendoodle and a senior cat. Our home is large enough that I can keep the cat in a separate area if your dog doesn’t get along with cats.
