Pet care experience

I'll love your dog like my own

I have my own dog, a shih tzu that is named Elsa and I have dog sat for friends and through Rover many times in the last 15 years. Right now I live in a big house and I have a fenced in yard with lots of room to play. I am responsible, on time, and easy to communicate with; so setting up an appointment with me should be easy. I work a remote home based job so I am able to spend time with your pet. I would be able to devote a couple hours per day with your pets, more on weekends. My dog Elsa does need a calm dog that will give her space or she becomes very anxious, so it will work best if your dog is on the calm side and doesn’t want to play. I am also free to come to your house (if you live nearby) to check in on your cats and to change food, water, and litter box. I cannot keep cats in my home because I am allergic. I will only watch dogs that are crate trained.

Holly and her husband took excellent care of my older dog. She communicated with us well and made the experience a great one. They are very kind people and is a true dog lovers. You can feel safe leaving your dog with them!

Bhaaloo had a great time with Holly. Holly was very easy to work with and we would happily have her watch Bhaaloo in the future

Holly and her husband were amazing with my little, old, fur baby. They provided a safe and reliable environment for him and ensured he was taken well care of. They kept me up to date with photos and provided a summary of his day. I will definitely book Holly again. She was great!

I work a remote home based job, so taking care of dogs is very easy for me. We usually take a daily mile walk at lunch and I can let the dog outside a couple times a day.

I will need to know your dogs Diet, sleep preference, and play preference. We can only watch a dog that isn’t too high energy because our dog gets early stressed. Dogs must be up to date with shots and flea/tick medication.
