About Holly
Hello! I'm Holly, I live in Auckland and am looking for some extra activities to fill up my time over the summer! I currently work as a Sport and Recreation Activity Coordinator at AUT, combining organisation and physical activity all in one.
My family has a Westie called Nelson who is a whopping 16 years old! We love him very much, and his age has inspired me to seek out pet sitting/walking opportunities, as he cannot walk as much anymore. I've been a primary carer of Nelson since we got him when I was 8 years old (now 24y/o). I moved to Tahoe, CA in 2022 where I fostered a beautiful Belgian Malinois/Shepheard called Kennedy (Kenny for short). Kenny was amazing and really motivated me to get outside more as she was so active! Kenny was to be put down at the shelter as there were not enough fosters for their dogs, I immediately drove down and picked her up straight away. The following year I moved to Canada and took up multiple dog sitting (in the owners house) jobs in the small mountain town of Invermere, BC. My favourite has to be these two black lab siblings - they were the best! Now that I'm back in NZ for the foreseeable future, I want to continue helping out pet owners!
Outdoor activities such as skiing, hiking, biking and running are important to me, and being able to do some of these things with a furry friend makes that even better!
I'm incredibly loving and caring towards our fluffy friends, have many places I like to walk, and access to a car. On the other hand I'm also always keen to chill out and play at home. I'm great at following directions so if there are special requests and meals to prepare, I am more than happy to do these too! (p.s I love cats and all sorts of animals too, not just dogs!)
