Safety, trust & environment

Overnight stays in my home are preferable, but I have actually been enjoying house sitting a lot with my partner, Jacob, who comes along to help! In terms of boarding however— I have a good amount of space and neighborhood to keep your furry baby taken care of and happy. I have a cat, Mr. Simba, here at my townhouse. He is amazing with other cats and dogs alike:) we used to live in a multi animal home but no longer do, so he can use some extra company and so could I!

Home

Lives in a house
Has a fenced yard
Non-smoking household
Has 2 cats
No children present
Dogs allowed on bed
Dogs allowed on furniture
Potty breaks every 2-4 hours

Information Holly W. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your animal has had prior issues with cats in the past. Mr Simba is literally SO chill and the best lil dude ever and I love him so much, wouldn’t want his safety to be compromised at all, so just remember your furbaby has got to be chill with my furbaby (and safe, not wanting to rip Simba’s head off lol) and we’ll be smooth sailing!

A typical day

I love exercise. Love love love it. Also love staying in, cooking a nice meal, and reading the books on my mental queue on the bookshelf. Whether you have the most energetic furry dude ever, or the chillest fur baby in the world, I can adapt to make it work with either type of furbaby!

Pet care experience

Babysitter!! Reno local! Furry friends lover🐾 In need of work! Hello everyone :-) I am an incoming college student at the UNR graduate school looking to save up extra money. I am a retired Lifeguard and Swim Instructor, with past certifications in CPR/AED and First Aid Training, and a current Basic Life Support Certification for my current field (social work/behavior analysis). I thought I would try to seek out some side jobs in babysitting / dog + cat sitting because those are all things I enjoy doing already(and the extra money could really help me out!)!! Feel free to contact me so we can set something up!

Holly provided us peace of mind as she took excellent care of our dog and home! Through the years of consistent care from Holly, we have always appreciated her great communication - including updates and pictures of our furbaby. When a minor problem came up with our AC this stay, she was quick to respond and let us know what happened so we could confirm and offer our support. In addition to giving our dog lots of love and attention, she also watered our outdoor plants which were thriving upon our return!

Consistent, communicative, and flexible! Thanks, Holly for taking such great care of our pup, Chloe, and home again. Even with the updates to Chloe's routine, Holly was on top of it! We appreciated the daily updates and pictures, questions, and flexibility when we asked about extending our trip. Will definitely be looking to Holly again for our future pup sitting needs :)

Holly has been such a consistent sitter for our fur baby and home! This time, we asked Holly to house sit for almost two weeks while we were out of the country and could not have felt more comfortable leaving our pup with such caring hands. Holly does a great job communicating daily updates, sending pictures, giving our dog lots of love, and following the routine and requests we leave. We will continue looking to Holly for future sitting needs. Thanks again!! 💞

We previously said we would use Holly's services again. And we did! not disappointment. Holly is great, kind and loves to play with Lilly. Excellent communication and she always sends the right amount of pictures. She now is our go-to sitter in Reno, full confidence.
