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!)

Holly did an absolutely amazing job of looking after our 14 week old German shepherd puppy in our home over a long weekend. We were obviously pretty worried about leaving our brand new pup, but Holly came for a meet and greet prior and was amazing with him and they formed a bond really quickly. We felt super safe and secure leaving him with her and she kept in regular contact and provided updates for our peace of mind. She also took exceptional care of our house (a rental property) and we came back to a spotless home. 10/10 recommend Holly and we will use her again in a heartbeat!

Holly was absolutely amazing! first time leaving my dog with someone he's not recently familiar with and she made it super easy and I was really relaxed knowing he was in good hands. Will definitely be using her again and highly recommend her to anyone
