Information Holly V. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any special needs, medications, or personality triggers I need to remain cognizant of or pay special attention to.

A typical day

I have puzzles, sniff mats, and toys here for both cats and dogs that get washed and sanitized in between uses. I have a nice backyard with plenty of room for laying out, playing fetch, or just getting the zoomies out. I also have a neighborhood with plenty of sidewalks and trails to get our exercise in.

Where Pets Are Treated Like Family

Pet care experience

Hey, all! I moved to San Diego the summer of 2025. I love caring for animals and building a community for myself and felt inspired to try and start a small pet care business. Being separated from our pets can give us as much separation anxiety as it can them and I do my best to keep pet parents updated and reassured, as well as the pets loved on with plenty of playtime activities, exercise, and cuddles. If boarding in my home, your pet will have their own room that gets deep cleaned and reset after each stay. I always encourage parents to bring whatever will make their pet feel most at home and comfortable. That room is their space for feedings and if they want some time to play with their toys or decompress. They’re never crated unless requested by the parent. When caring for multiple dogs, I take dogs on a walk to feel out their temperament and socialization. If they get along great, they do playtime together, if not, I cycle out playtimes/walks/rest times so everyone still has a fun and stimulating day while always putting safety first. I love to be extra and do theme party days if boarding falls on a holiday 😃 I am in the Ranchos Peñasquitos area with a fenced in yard. We have lovely trails in the neighborhood and nearby. I am also available for dog walking, drop ins, and pet sitting in your home. ***I take extra care into working my schedule and making sure I am fully present and available for you and your pet. I ask that my time is also valued by pet owners. If you cannot make the scheduled drop off or pick up time within 30 minutes, there is a late fee of an additional $10 for every 30 minutes you are late, if there is no communication.

I had an initial meet and greet with Holly And Kimbo and I knew that he would be well taken care of with her. She is very caring. She treated him like family. I had complete peace of mind while I was away because she sent daily photos and updates. Kimbo has new friends for sure. I will definitely be utilizing Holly again and I recommend her as well.

Kylo had a great time with Holly. She was responsive and let me know how he was doing, and he came home tired which is always a plus! I would definitely recommend her as a sitter!

Holly was absolutely amazing to Zoe! I sent her a pretty long note which definitely wasn’t expecting her to read it all but not only did she read it, she also was pertaining it to Zoe’s stay like with what Zoe is used to which I thought was so nice to see. She also kept us updated daily with photos and videos of all the hikes and activities they did which I absolutely loved! Thank you so much for everything! Will definitely want Zoe to stay again if she’ll have her!

What a great visit! Holly and Sean did a great job taking care of Ryder. Lots of communication and pictures while we were gone. They truly went above and beyond. I will be rebooking with them in the future.
