Your Pet's Extended (WFH) Family

Pet care experience

As a dog mom to a rescue puppy that is often anxious, I know what it means to handle with caution and care. I have often petsat for neighbors when I was younger, and expanded during college. I fell in love with making pets feel the love they deserve all of the time. Over the past five years, I have had the privilege to provide for more than one hundred pets! :)

It feels good to not only know Iggy is well taken care of at Holly’s place, but also enjoys his time while staying there. Thank you for taking good care of our good boy as you always do.

Tahou and Momo were well taken care of and had a lot of fun playing with Parker in the yard. Holly is very nice and responsive. Will definitely recommend.

Information Holly R. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know about your pups preferred treats, anything they are allergic to, and anything that makes your fur baby unique! Every pet I meet, I treat as my own, and I thrive to fine tune my efforts to the needs and wants of each pet! **Although your pup is not going to be in their kennel, it is helpful to bring one! I am working from home full-time, but in the event I need to run out, I want to ensure your pet is safe for any short time unsupervised. Even without any hazards in the home, it is important to me that our fur babies aren't even close to being at risk of harm. Don’t have a crate? We won’t count you out. Please just mention this in the initial booking phase :) **PLEASE try to ensure your pet is free of sickness before coming. Prior to every visit, all furniture is deep cleaned to prevent any irritation of your pet and mine. My dog, Parker, is washed and cleaned before all clients arrive; we want to make sure every fur baby is happy and healthy. Don’t have a crate? It is helpful to be as descriptive as possible when discussing pet tendencies, temperament, and behaviors. Most needs can be accommodated, but it is hard when they are not made aware of in the early stages of booking. There is no judgment in care providing and no detail is too embarrassing to ensure that we're a great fit! :) These guidelines are not to make our lives harder. We want to prevent any unnecessary vet trips, allergic reactions, and create a mutual respect that values the client and the provider. Thank you so much for your cooperation and understanding. :)

A typical day

When I have your fur baby, the day will be filled with fun and stimulation that will leave them tired mentally and physically. With a yard that will feel like a football field, we will be able to play fetch, smell new scents in the grass (which is just as effective as physical exercise), and spend enough time to tire the pup out without risking dehydration.

I currently work from home, and am flexible to ensure that even last minute needs can be met to the fullest. I am hoping to connect with individuals that build long-term relationships. I work from home full-time, which means that your pets always have eyes on them. However, I am not always able to step away from my desk. For pet drop offs and pickups, I am available to coordinate during the following time blocks: Mondays - Fridays: before 7:30 am or after 5:30 pm. Saturdays and Sundays: all day availability Doesn't work for your plans? No worries! Please mention this and we will explore alternatives. :)
