Pet care experience

I grew up in a large industrious family (the Duntons) full of farm animals, cats, and dogs next to Lake Erie. I’ve taken care of animals throughout my life, and am part of a well-known and trusted large family in the Anacortes area with many well-known, trusted small family businesses (Dunton’s Body Shop, 6th Street Hair Co, Gae’s Drapery, Fidalgo Flower & Co, and more) and can be trusted with your home and pets. Thanks for looking!

If I could give more than 5 stars, I absolutely would. Taking care of my pets is not an easy job — I have one fluffy dog with separation anxiety, one senior cat, and two kittens that are full of energy and constantly into everything. Some days it honestly feels like I live in a zoo! From the moment she walked in, she handled everything with such calmness, patience, and kindness. My animals immediately trusted her, which says a lot because they can all be very particular in their own ways. She gave my anxious dog comfort and confidence, was gentle and attentive with my older cat, and somehow managed to keep up with the chaos and curiosity of the kittens too, that were literally getting in to all kinds of mischief! What really stood out to me was the bond she built with my dog. Even after the sitting visits, I met up with her at Storvic park so she could take a little strolll with us and visit! That level of trust and connection is rare. I am beyond grateful for the care, reliability, and genuine love she showed my animals. I would recommend her to absolutely anyone looking for someone dependable, calm, compassionate, and amazing with pets of all personalities and ages.

10/10 recommend!! Holly did such a great job with my cat! I can tell she loves cats and is there to hang out with your pet and make them feel better while you’re gone. She’s friendly and responsive and there’s nothing to worry about. Great pictures and write up on the rover card and I felt my cat was well taken care of.

I had the pleasure of caring for her cats while she was away on vacation, and I can honestly say her love for animals shines through in every detail. She treats her pets like family, making sure they are not only cared for, but truly happy, comfortable, and loved. From the thoughtful setup of toys and enrichment activities to the care she puts into their daily routines, it was clear how devoted she is to their well-being. She stayed in touch while away because she genuinely cares about her pets’ comfort and happiness, and I could see how deeply bonded she is with them. Anyone looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, patient, and attentive to care for their pets would be very lucky to have her. I have no doubt she will be wonderful caring for cats, dogs, and any animals entrusted to her.

Holly has watched our cat Sisko and our bearded dragons a number of times while we go out of the state or overseas. She grew up with every type of cat, dog, farm animal, you name it. Super compassionate and patient with pets. Legitimately a wonderful caretaker and you can trust her with whatever your pet and home scenario is regardless of the complexity. Super keen eye for special needs pets and a compassionate caretaker.
