Holly K's Spoiled Fur Babies Pet Sitting
About
I am a HUGE dog lover!! My service is super flexible & easily customized to your specific requests/needs! I'm super detail-oriented, so any specific instructions/requests you have will be followed to a T! My 2 pups are my everything; they are the loves of my life! They are beyond spoiled; basically, it's their house, I just live here! Lol. I treat your pets as if they were my own. :)
I am a HUGE dog lover!! Being around animals has always been like therapy for me.
I absolutely love helping other pet owners by providing the absolute best care for their fur babies that I possibly can! I love being able to give people complete peace of mind by ensuring that their pups are safe, healthy, and having a total blast with me while they are away! :) I take care of all fur babies as if they were my own! I know how stressful/difficult it is for me personally whenever I have to be away from my fur babies for any amount of time. My anxiety is always thru the roof, and I constantly obsess & worry about them the entire time I'm away. I hope to be able to alleviate some of this stress for other pet owners by providing exceptional care for their fur babies. Also, I provide pet parents with frequent updates, and will send tons of cute photos and videos--as many or as often as you'd like! Nothing is too much to ask. :)

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Typically, I introduce myself and say hello, and then i give them my cell phone # so that they can text me and let me know the specifics/details regarding their pet care and/or house sitting needs (such as specific dates/times, special care needs or requests, etc.). Then, i let them know if i will be available for the job or not. But, I am totatlly flexible and willing to adapt to each customer based off of their preferred process & method of communication. I'm very laid back, easygoing, & flexible; l'm always more than willing to cater this process to each customer and his/her preferences. :)
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I've been a dog owner for 25 years, and I've experienced/dealt with a wide variety of situations with my own fur babies that has taught me so much about providing care to animals. I am able to perform quick and thorough assessments, & can promptly identify symptoms or behaviors that are a concern or that may indicate a potential issue/problem that requires further investigation by a vet. I have multiple veterinary contacts of my own, but I also always keep your pet's personal veterinarian name, location, & contact info on speed dial! Also, after working as a registered nurse in the Trauma ICU for about 8 years now, my assessment skills, my ability to identify any "red flags", & my prompt, natural reaction to provide emergency care in general are very strong. Although I take care of humans rather than animals at work, there are many assessment skills/findings & symptoms of disease processes that overlap or are quite similar in both humans and animals. I'm a natural caregiver, and my love/passion for animals is undeniably strong! I am currrntly in the process of completing a Pet first aid/CPR course to obtain an official certification.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your services? If so, please share the details here.
Nope! My pricing is always based on the requirements/needs of each individual job. I am also always flexible & willing to work with customers individually when it comes to price. :)
How did you get started in this business?
I was looking for something that I enjoy doing to occupy my free time on my 4 days off from work each week that also be a potential source of supplemental income. My financial situation was less than ideal due to multiple unexpected expenses in a short period of time, combined with the significant debt that I acquired while I was in my early 20s/my college years. I had to find a way to make extra money on the side, which is what led me to dog/pet sitting since it's something that I genuinely LOVE doing that is also profitable. :)
