Safety, trust & environment

I offer drop in appointments, and I will strive to keep your dog or cat (or both) comfortable with thier familiar routine care. And of course lots of play and love to ease thier stress of missing you. These are priced for 30 minutes and 60 minutes. Additional time/longer visits are charged hourly. Please inquire. I also offer overnight house stays. These typically are scheduled from 7 pm overnight to 8 am, with an additional mid day drop in for dogs. Depending on my agenda I may additionally stay later in the morning and/or get there earlier in the evening but this is the minimum guaranteed schedule and the one I have based my rates on. *additional drop ins are available as add ons **Extended care with overnight can be booked...this is basically an overnight sit and a daycare sit combined with a few breaks thrown in. Inquire for a quote(generally 1.5x the basic rate) ***Constant/Continuous care may be arranged at an additional cost depending on availability. This would be around the clock care only leaving to get groceries/supplies or in an emergency.

Information Holly W. would like to know about your pet

We will first schedule a quick phone call for basic questions (or we can do this via text) and then schedule a brief meet and greet ahead of the first visit so that I can familiarize myself with your pets routine and your pet can meet me. I want to make this an enjoyable and stress free experience for you, your pets and for me too. **Puppy visits can be arranged and priced on a case by case basis.

A typical day

On my visits, I will typically first make sure your dog relieves themselves in the desired area and the cats litter box is scooped. Water will be freshened up and your pets will be fed per your instructions. The rest of our time can be spent playing/exercising or just cuddling and getting love. Or both. Whatever your pet needs most. At the end of my visit, I will make sure your pet is secure and your house locked up. And any pet areas or messes are cleaned up. With your permission and instruction, I can bring in any mail and/or packages to help secure them while you are out. Plant care can be arranged too and if not too intensive can be included at no extra cost on longer visits. For overnight visits, I will keep your pet in a familiar schedule of activities and sleep.

Caring, responsible and experienced

Pet care experience

I have always had a cat at home, and up until a few years ago I have always had a dog too. I've been caring for my own dogs and cats for over 40 years.(Extensive bunny care experience as well) I've been watching friends and family members animals for many years so I've decided to take it a step further and join Rover. I've experienced new born litters of both species and senior care as well. And of course every stage in between. I've trained a few obedience competitors and I pride myself on my firm but gentle techniques. I'm responsible and caring and can follow your instructions making sure your pet stays comfortable and within thier routine. I am fully insured. I am certified in dog and cat first aid.

Fantastic!!! We have never been so relaxed while on vacation knowing Holly was caring for our dogs and our home. I can see why she has so many positive reviews. I would use her again in a heartbeat and I will be recommending her to everyone I know!
