Professional dog lover

Pet care experience

I love dogs and playing with dogs! So I'd love to take care of yours. I’ve been a dog mom my whole life and am great with all breeds, ages, and sizes of dogs. As a teacher with the summer off, I will be able to keep a close eye on your pup and take them out for many walks throughout the day. I live close to the Charles River Esplanade, Boston Public Garden, and Boston Common - perfect places to take dogs for walks! I’m in good shape and can run with hyper, energetic pups or take a nice slow stroll with older dogs. I have a 7 month old dachshund pup at home, so I only accept dogs that are friendly and good with other dogs. My pup is super friendly and is always nice to other dogs, but can get scared at first before she’s properly introduced. Because of this, I require a meet and greet before booking any stay to make sure that I am a good fit for your dog. I’m a very responsible, caring, loving dog sitter/ walker and look forward to meeting your pup!

Holly did a great job taking care of Percy. Loved getting pics everyday and he came home happy and relaxed.

Holly was fantastic for doggy day care! Our little pup has a lot of energy and he came back so happy and tired. She also kept us updated throughout the day with photos and texts which was very comforting.

Holly was absolutely fantastic! Limmy was super happy when I picked her up and I could tell she'd been well cared for! Holly kept me up to date every day with pictures and texts so I knew my pup was in good hands over the holidays! She took her on long walks and runs and played with her a ton! Thanks for showing Limmy such a wonderful time!

Information Holly O. would like to know about your pet

My goal is to provide your pup with a comfortable, relaxing, and fun stay. Please let me know anything you think is important about your dog. When does he/she typically eat? How much food during each meal? When does he/she usually wake up? How often does he/she usually go out? How does he/she normally sleep at home (crate, floor, bed)? Does he/she get along with other dogs? Get along with strangers? If he/she is not fully trained yet, what are they currently working on? Please let me know if there’s anything else you think I should know about your pup. I’ll do everything I can to accommodate to your pup’s needs and make their stay in my home comfortable.

A typical day

As a former dog mom, I’m used to having a dog in my house. I’m happy to allow your dog on my couch if that’s what he/she is used to at home too. I know that it can be very nerve-racking for some dogs to leave their owners and home, so I try to do everything I can to make them feel at home here. I like to wake up early, so I will provide your pup with an early morning stroll. Your pup can expect multiple walks throughout the day in my favorite spots - the Charles River Esplanade, Boston Public Garden, Boston Common, and Comm Ave Park. If your dog is young, energetic, and fit, I’m happy to take him/her on a run with me along the Charles. As a teacher with the summer off, I’m home all day and will take your pup out every 2-3 hours. In between walks, your pup will be pampered with lots of love and affection in my home. While I am home for most of the day during the summer, I will make sure your dog gets lots of attention. I understand that when dogs miss their owners they need even more love and attention. If I have to leave my apartment during the day, I will turn on my Puppy Cam to check in on your dog and make sure he/she is doing okay alone. Additionally, I understand how hard it can be for a dog owner to have to leave their dog while they’re away. I will have my phone on me 24/7 while your dog stays with me and I will be happy to answer any questions you have. I will send daily updates and photos of your dog during their stay (unless you’d rather not be bothered).
