Holly
Aunty of animals I am -- my snuggles are frequent and free!
About Holly
I take pride in how much I adore animals, which makes these gigs especially enjoyable for me. I try to be the next best thing to mom or dad or both. I also love plants and keeping your home lovingly cared for.

Why I want to house sit
My children are away for the summer visiting their father, and I would like to fill up my free time staying busy and serving others (human, animal or both :).
My experience
I'm a conscientious and easygoing person who values the importance of your home to you. I try to care for homes as if they were my own. And I love animals. I was almost a veterinarian but chose to be an English professor instead. The emotional challenges of taking care of sick animals was the number one reason for my choice. Though I do have general experience with almost all animals, I know your animals have specific personalities, needs, quirks and adorable qualities that make them special. I try to provide regular and helpful updates and pictures while you're away. :)

It was a breeze from the start. Holly emailed a get to know you and your pet(s) questionnaire and scheduled a Meet‐n‐Greet session before we left for our 2-month Europe tour. All of her correspondence (before, during and after) was prompt, informative and efficient. Upon her arrival for the Meet‐n‐Greet, Holly introduced herself to me and to the dogs. I think it was love at first sight for one, and a cautious hello from the other. Holly respected their differences and allowed the cautious one to approach her in her own time. We spent some time chatting and took a quick tour of the house. I felt very confident that our dogs were going to be taken care of and loved while we were away.
During our travels, Holly checked in with occasional text updates and pictures (she asked for permission to do so before we left of course). They all looked happy as could be. In my opinion, Holly charges a rate far less than what she provides in return. That, combined with the ease of being able to keep our dogs in their own environment while we were gone such a long time, makes it an easy decision to hire Holly as a house and petsitter again in the future!

I've know Holly for over 10 years and consider her a dear friend, reliable neighbor and someone I can trust given any circumstance. I consider her truthful, honest and understanding, and without reservation recommend her for any possible house-sitting or pet-sitting position, or both.

Holly has helped me in many different capacities. In the past I have trusted her with my home while we were on vacation, I have trusted her with my children and my pets, and would not hesitate to recommend her. She is always is stepping up to help others, or to donate her time and expertise whenever called. I can always count on her to do what she says she will do, and then some.
Holly is one of those rare types that not only anticipates what you or your pets, house or children might need before YOU even do, she quietly handles the situation, yet keeps you informed and updated in great detail. Mary Poppins, Nanny McPhee and Snow White come to mind, with a little Lily Tomlin mixed in. She's just awesome.
