Holly

Hello! My name is Holly and I am an ardent dog, cat and general animal lover. I am Irish but have lived in Australia for the past three years and in that time have greatly missed my family pets back home!

That is one of my biggest motivations to be a pet sitter. I am moving to Melbourne and seeking a house and pet sit to give your dogs or cats all of the love, routine, and TLC they need while you are away. I am conscientious, responsible, extremely tidy and, most importantly, experienced when it comes to feeding, walking, washing, petting, and looking after pets.

I grew up in a house of two cats and a dog all through my teenage years and was the primary carer of our golden Labrador, Lola (who lived to the regal age of 17!) Since moving to Australia, most of my house shares have had dogs and I have enthusiastically taken a hand in looking after them.

I am all too aware that your pet is so much more than an animal - they are family, a child, a trusted confidante, best friend. Leaving a pet for any length of time is stressful and upsetting which is why I am here to make the experience as positive and smooth both for you and your pets. Peace of mind is my guarantee!

Services Offered:

🐾 Overnight stays

🐾 Day visits - can water plants and bring in mail. As I am currently freelancing, my availability is flexible to best suit your schedule. Morning, afternoon, evening all possible. All time at a day sit will be dedicated to your pet.

🐾 House sitting - I will be in Melbourne from May 1st until June 5th and am happy to house sit during this time. Ideally looking for longer house sits for continuity. The amount of time spent in the home during a house sit will depend on the needs of your pet. I am happy to be home more for those needing extra TLC but otherwise am a social person who would go out for several hours every day and/or evening.

🐾 Playtime and companionship - I infinitely prefer talking to pets over humans so your furry friend will not be bored!

🐾 Feeding and administering oral medications if needed

🐾 Dog walking - these can be as long or short as your pup requires! Generally, I allow an hour from pick up to drop off but love nothing more than a long, rigorous amble with an active doggo!

🐾 Lots of updates about your pets so you can have peace of mind when away. Whatever your love language is - photos, text updates, video calls, I am happy to assist.

As I'm based in Richmond, day visits and dog walking must be within public-transport distance from there. Please contact me to know more!
