Pet care experience

I respect pets like they're human.

I have a petsitter certificate. I have more than 10 years of experience feeding, sitting, and walking dogs—not limited to dogs, but many other animals. I've had pets growing up, from cats to ferrets, dogs, and fish. I also grew up living with cats - some of them were only kittens when I recused them from outside and I brought them in. I was only in high school, but I was happy to take care of them. My mom and I’ve always been cat lovers. I've babysat different kinds of dogs, such as chihuahuas, pit bulls, and chocolate labs. I studied psychology, so I have been working with people with disabilities for a long time, even though I enjoy working with pets. I also went to Costa Rica and volunteered with endangered animals at Rain Song in 2010. I fed, cleaned, and bathed endangered animals such as white-headed capuchin monkeys, anteaters, porcupines, and others. In 2006-2007, I used to work at the horse farm for a year as a high school senior, which was before I went to college.

This was our second time trusting Holly with our furbaby! She is always on time, communicates right away, and sends several daily updates so we never have to worry. It puts our minds completely at ease when we are missing our pup. Thank you, Holly, for being an awesome dog sitter!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a friendly dog who'd watch over your pets. I have a big kennel here and I'd make sure it feels cozy and comfortable. My enivornment's very loving and calm. I have a 12 years old daughter who is very mellow and affectionate.

Pets

A typical day

My daughter and I do have our turns to play with dogs. We’d take them to Chollas Park when it’s a beautiful day. I’m pretty flexible, so I’d accommodate your pet’s needs. I’d walk them outside to make sure they workout. I need some workout to do, so dogs can keep me going. :)

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
Unspayed females accepted, neutered males only
Holly can host up to 3 pets per night
I'd need to know if your dog can't be bothered while eating because my dog'd steal food. I can keep them seperated if needed. My dog's very sharing, playful, friendly, and a little annoying. ;)
