Creatures of Love are so important!
Pet care experience
I grew up with pets & took to the responsibility & awareness of having pets, at a young age. I had my own Creature of Love as an adult-- Choolie, a beloved doggy! I know & value the soulmate love our pets can bring forward into our lives. I am reliable, dependable & a great communicator. I have been house-sitting/pet sitting for friends through out the years & I enjoy it very much. I have worked as a property care-taker & with that, I feel comfortable within the aspect of longer house-sitting gigs. I have also, worked with the public & within hospitality for years, elements like: multi-tasking, quick, organized thinking, creating comfort from instinct & moving through tasks with efficiency- are aspects of my being that feel innate. I love dogs & cats & honor the importance of our beloved pets by being of service to help maintain their comfort within routine as well as, taking pride in offering comfort through TLC.
Reviews
This was the first time we left our dog for a long period of time and Holly did INCREDIBLE with him. She followed his routine, sent daily photos/videos and updates and made sure he was loved and cuddled. Our pup is very stubborn and emotional but he instantly bonded with her. I felt completely relaxed knowing Holly was with him. She also stayed in our home and we felt comfortable and trusting of her, she was more than an amazing house guest, leaving no trace. We now have our GO-TO pup-sitter for when we have to travel. We are very blessed to have Holly as a new friend for our little guy and a trusted resource! 10/10.
Holly did an amazing job caring for our puppy Jazz! Jazz is a hyperactive dog and Holly made sure all of his needs were met and went above and beyond. She was available last minute to help us when our other doggie-care plan fell through. She sent us photos and updates about how Jazz was doing which gave us peace and allowed us to fully enjoy our vacation. Jazz fell in love with Holly and it was clear he was given lots of love, attention, and plenty of walks. We would definitely trust Holly to care for our pup again!!
I've had the pleasure of Holly's services while my family and I were on vacation. Like most pet owners reluctant to leave their fur babies, I was immediately made to feel in the best hands. Holly was a consummate professional, incredibly trustworthy and kept me constantly in the loop with respect to our home and our dog. She exceeded any expectations we had and put us at ease. Her radiant personality and artistic nature is welcome in our home anytime. She was a breath of fresh air and showed the greatest love for our dog. Thanks again Holly, we look forward to future services.
Holly was wonderful with my dogs and cats. She’s kind, patient, and clearly loves all animals. She goes above and beyond and my pets love her. I’ll always use her as my first option for any day or overnight help with my babies!!! 5-STAR RATING 100%

Safety, trust & environment
My offering is to tend to your pet's within your home, to honor the comfort of your animal & to provide the least amount of disruption to their routine. I invite & lead with open communication, check-ins, and photos/videos of your pet, during my stay.
Information Holly Z. would like to know about your pet
I appreciate knowing your pet's specific routine, likes & dislikes. For example: The time they wake up, time they are used to eating, if there are specific snacks, if they like their meal prepared a certain way, time they like to go on a walk and their preferred route, if they nap, if there are any cozy spots they gravitate towards within your home, any specific toys they like, if they like having music or the T.V. on, etc.) It is important to me, to try and create as seamless of a transition for your pet as possible. I obviously want to know if there are any medical concerns, medications or physical elements/ailments, I should be made aware of. I also want to know if there are any specific personality traits or corkiness that I should perceive as "normal" behavior from your pet, and if they are friendly with other animals--should we be out on a walk.
A typical day
Considering we live in Los Angeles, there are so many beautiful parks, trails, beaches and dog friendly places. Some fun activities would include walks at local parks, perhaps even laying down a picnic blanket, for our doggies that enjoy a little R&R, gentle trail walking, so that our doggies can take in all the smells of nature and beautiful views, visits to local dog parks for elements of socializing and perhaps there's even a little hangout at a local coffeeshop, for some good people and dog watching. For Cats: I am all about following their lead, if they are into snuggles and/or playtime, I am there!

I am a poet & a freelance writer. Pet /house sitting fits into my routine, rather seamlessly. My schedule is quite flexible & I am very open to traveling, since I work from home.
