Highlights
Pet care experience
Hi! My names Holly!!
Hi there! I’m Holly, and I’m so excited to help care for your furry family members. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life. My family fostered dogs for nearly 20 years while I was growing up, and I’ve continued that passion by fostering more than 10 rescue animals of all ages as an adult. I also actively volunteer in the NYC rescue community, and my heart for rescue runs deep. I have extensive experience caring for dogs with all kinds of personalities and needs, including senior and special-needs pups. I spent 10 wonderful years caring for my own 100-pound blind dog, so I understand the patience, consistency, and extra love that some dogs require. Whether your pup is energetic and playful or prefers slow walks and cuddles, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. About My Availability Monday–Thursday: I work in the office from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM. I’m flexible to work from home when needed if your dog requires extra attention, and I’m available for morning and evening walks, drop-ins, or overnight care. Friday–Sunday: Fully available with open flexibility for walks, drop-ins, daycare, overnight stays, and extended care

Schedule
I currently work 4 days a week in office in Hudson’s yards. I don’t leave until around 9am and am home at 4:30. For dogs I would plan to take a long walk in the morning, long walk once home, play time, then another walk before bed!

Safety, trust & environment
I have 2 cats who keep to themselves mostly and cat grade protective screens in the window. While I am home I will keep the window cracked for them to look at pigeons and enjoy the fresh air.
