Introduction
I am a HUGE animal lover [dogs being my biggest obsession of all :)]. I am available for a wide variety of pet care services, including but not limited to the following: home visits (the duration and frequency of in-home pet sitting visits are totally up to you!), pet boarding, doggy daycare, pet sitting, house sitting, or other in-home care for your dog(s) and/or other pets! I encourage each pet owner to customize their pet sitting request based off of their specific needs or preferences for their pets, and I will cater to each pet owner's specific requests and follow your instructions to a T! I am a licensed Registered Nurse, and I worked as a Charge Nurse in the Trauma ICU at Baylor University Medical Center (BUMC) in Downtown Dallas. I recently separated from my job at Baylor in March 2023, and I am taking some time off from nursing due to my significant "nursing burnout". In the meantime, I am doing pet sitting full-time! I started pet/dog sitting as a "side hustle" in 2021 to occupy my time during my 4 days off from my extremely stressful job each week; now, pet sitting is no longer just my side hustle, it's my full time job! It doesn't even feel like work to me because I truly enjoy it! Taking care of/being around animals makes me so happy! I LOVE being able to provide high-quality, customized pet care services to fur babies everywhere; I strive to give pet owners peace of mind when they are traveling and have to be away from their fur babies. I can provide updates as often as you would like, and I always send tons of pictures of your fur babies while you are away!! You can always call/text me anytime with your pet care or house sitting needs, day or night, 24/7; im a night owl, so im always up :). Then, we can set up a meet n greet and make sure you feel that I am a good fit for your fur babies and ensure you feel confident that I will be able to provide the care/services that meet your and your pets' specific needs. :) Im super laid back, easy-going, and flexible. If plans change last second, no problemo. I can work with and adapt to whatever comes my way. I try to keep my prices as affordable as possible, but I can work with you on pricing as well. Once you send me a request via thumbtack, I will reply ASAP and provide my phone number. You can always feel free to call or text me anytime regarding your pet care requests and setting up a meet n greet with your fur babies! I am very flexible, so we can set something up based on your availability and what's most convenient for you and your fur babies! Your fur babies will be loved nonstop, lots of toys to play with, and they will always be spoiled during their stay with me! :)

Our big baby boy cat, Binx (22lb) does not like new people. He would hide under the bed at first for several days, but Holly became his best friend after just a couple of days. She had him eating treats out of her hand and letting her pet him. We highly recommend her.

Details: Cat • 2 pets • Changing litter or bedding • Giving food and water • Standard visit (60 minutes) • Once a day • My home, venue, etc.

Wow, exceeded our expectations! We have a young puppy that Holly helped sit for us for 5 days. We got pictures and updates daily. Will use her next time and recommend her for all your pet sitting needs.

FAQs

  • What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

    My pricing is always flexible! I price based on the total number of home visits and/or number of days of each job, as well as the commute and gas costs involved to get to/from the job. I now use a gas calculator online to determine the cost of gas for each home visit, round trip! This gas calculator is only applicable if you are >20 miles from Mesquite 75149. My fuel efficiency is something like 24.1mpg - so, it's not usually much of gas, even if 40-50 miles distance from my home). The more home visits you need, the cheaper each visit and/or the grand total of your trip will be! I offer excellent discounts for jobs requiring more visits (usually if 5+ visit, I can reduce pricing a good amount!) Oftentimes, I can give you a flat daily rate for up to 3 visits/day, or I calculate a total price (gas and travel included) for your whole trip. (After I adjust price down to the lowest price I feel is appropriate , and then I will make you that offer for whatever price I come up with!) I will ensure you feel comfortable with the price before moving on, and I may inquire if you have a specific max budget in mind that you are looking to stay under. If I can make it happen for you, I will! Overall, I am very open to negotiating prices! :)

  • What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

    Send me a request, you will receive my auto reply with my phone number and questions about details of your job. Ideally, I will text you or you can text me asap to start discussing the most important detail, in my opinion, which is what dates do you need? Are you looking for home visits -if so, how long, how many per day and what times of day? If looking for boarding or overnight visits, let me know and I will consider them on a case by case basis!
