Holly can care for

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
Dogs over 1 year old

Availability

Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I currently work remotely and am also in school, which makes my schedule fairly flexible and allows me to adjust easily around pet visits, walks, or stays. I genuinely enjoy getting outside for walks—whether it’s around town or out in nature—so incorporating pet care into my week feels effortless and rewarding. Caring for animals isn’t something I have to “make time for,” it’s simply part of my lifestyle and something I truly love doing.

Safety, trust & environment

Safety and trust are always my top priorities. During walks, I stay alert and fully aware of our surroundings, making sure pets are secure and comfortable at all times. My professional background as a Pet Care Technician and Doggy Daycare Counselor at Rover Oaks Pet Resort in Houston, TX gave me hands-on training in animal safety, dog & cat behavior, and proper care practices. At Rover Oaks, I supervised groups of 60–100+ dogs at a time for long shifts, which taught me how to remain attentive, proactive, and calm in any situation. Whether I’m caring for pets in my client’s home or out on a walk, I take every precaution to keep them safe, loved, and stress-free.

Information Holly R. would like to know about your pet

Feeding schedule details, expected arrival time for visits along with typically a 1 or 2-hour window you feel comfortable with unless you would like or need me to be there at a specific time each day for your fur baby or babies, whether your dog is friendly or aggressive towards other animals on walks, escape artist?, whether allowed on furniture, anything else you feel may be important for me to know to be aware of to help ensure I give your fur baby the best care I can.

A typical day

I love walking the dog through their neighborhood and wearing them out! I also love exploring town and anywhere nature. Anything that you would like me to be sure to do with your fur baby to keep them on their normal active routine, I am more than happy to!

Caring & Reliable Pet Sitter

Pet care experience

I’m extremely reliable, caring, and passionate about making sure your fur babies feel loved and safe while you’re away. My goal is always to keep your mind at ease so you can focus on what you need to do, knowing your pets are in good hands. ANIMAL-CARE EXPERIENCE: I previously worked as a Pet Care Technician and later as a Doggy Daycare Counselor at Rover Oaks Pet Resort in Houston, TX—one of the city’s top pet care facilities. There, I received professional training in animal care, safety, and dog & cat behavior. During my time as a Daycare Counselor, I supervised and played with groups of 60–100+ dogs at a time for 12-hour shifts, gaining invaluable experience in managing all kinds of personalities and energy levels. I am knowledgeable, attentive, and naturally in tune with animals, which makes me confident in handling a wide variety of situations with patience and care. ME & ROVER: I care deeply about giving my very best to every pet I look after. Being part of Rover allows me to do what I love—keeping your little ones safe, happy, and cared for while giving you complete peace of mind. At Meet & Greets, I often connect with animals right away, which is one of the most rewarding parts of this work. You can count on me to be communicative, reliable, and easy to reach. I’m also flexible and easy-going, so if plans change, I’ll adapt quickly to make sure your pets are still taken care of without stress. ABOUT ME: Friends know me as someone who absolutely adores animals—I love discovering each pet’s unique personality and making them feel comfortable and happy. I have a cat of my own who is truly my world, so I understand how important it is to feel confident when leaving your fur baby with someone else. I am currently in school, and my schedule is fairly flexible, which makes it easier to accommodate different booking needs. I also love sending photo updates throughout each stay (I’ve gotten lots of compliments on my pet photography 📸🐾). Knowing I can help both pets and their people feel at ease is what makes this work so meaningful to me.
