Rebecca S. - Special Needs
“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Holly’s pet sitting services. She and her husband, Peva,
took the absolute best care of my senior dog, Jackson, who needed A LOT of specialized care.
They stayed at my home while I was out of town many times and were totally committed to Jackson’s
welfare above everything else. One of the best things about their services is that they send
multiple photos of Jackson on walks and in the house each time they came over, confirming he went
out and was cared for. No one is better!”

“Holly was wonderful with our bunnies. She had no problem taking care of our two pet rabbits, both of which require daily medications (oral and eye drops). She was very thorough in our initial meeting and paid close attention to all of our instructions and concerns. We also really appreciated her picture message updates during each visit. We would be more than happy to entrust our rabbits to her care again in the future.”

“Can’t give them enough stars! My doggie got the best treatment every day that he was walked by them for the years I worked full time. Thank you!”

"Holly recently took care of my cat (Alice) while I was traveling. Alice is about 12 years old and is a special needs cat. She is deaf and has a rare skin condition that requires daily attention. I do not normally leave Alice in the care of others, so the thought made me anxious. Holly made me feel more comfortable from our first phone conversation with her knowledge and confidence. When Alice and I met Holly, Alice was her usual self with little patience and no social skills to speak of. She's a wonderful cat but doesn't hold a lot of trust for humans (other than myself). While Holly and I went over Alice's eating and medicating schedules, my cat showed little or no interest. Before our hour- long "get to know you" meeting was finished Alice had actually started to come up to Holly and eventually parked herself right next to. It was very impressive. So I went on my trip but still felt a little uneasy… Alice had never been away from me for so long (10 days). Everyday, Holly sent me pictures and videos of Alice, as well as the two of them together. Alice really took to Holly and it was very clear that Holly was passionate about maintaining a routine and healthy environment for her. Upon my return it was clear that the two were friendly. This truly blew my mind. Alice doesn't bond with other humans like she has with me. Holly is a very special caregiver. I not only trust her with Alice, she has become one of the family. Your Best Friends Pet Services is my go to. Holly's services are highly valued and highly recommended. Quite simply, she is the best at what she does. Thank you Holly!”

Allyson B. - Home and Pet Care
“We struggled to find a dependable and trustworthy person to care for our dot when we went on trips, and it was such a relief to find YBF and meet Holly and Peva. I liked how they came over to meet Apollo before we ever went out of town and even went o a short walk with us to get to know him. They cared for Apollo multiple times and stayed at our house several of those times, too. Knowing that Holly and Peva were caring for him gave us so much peace of mind when we were away on trips. I Knew they would do all of the basic caretaking things like walks and food (and texting a photo on each walk); but I also know that they genuinely cared about our sweet pup and enjoyed being with hi while we were away. When Apollo died they sent us a sweet message of sympathy, and I am so glad to know that we’ll have a dependable person to care for our next dog.”

“Holly is an outstanding pet sitter and dog walker! You can tell she really loves her work. She has taken great care of our cranky elderly cats, walked our big Lab numerous times, and has done house sitting with us too. I completely trust her with our pets and our home.”

"I'd happily recommend Holly to anyone with pets. She responded quickly to our messages, listened carefully to what we were looking for, and took great care of our two cats. Her daily check-ins while we were away were the highlight of my day, and the many pictures left me reassured that our kitties were in good hands. I couldn't ask for anything more!"

"I highly recommend Holly. I have relied on her as a dog walker for over four years. She has been extremely dependable and very easy to work with. She communicates well, and often. She has taken really good care of my aging Golden whom she walks four days a week. As a house sitter, she has been tidy and respectful of my home. Five stars!"

"Holly cares for our shy mini Australian Shepherd, Pickle. Pickle enjoys going out with Holly twice a week on 45-minute walks. I love that I receive an update and photos about their adventure. Holly also makes sure Pickle gets a fresh bowl of water and a treat after their walk. Along with going on weekly walks, Holly also dog sits Pickle when we go out of town. Holly is very flexible, reliable, responsible and responsive, which are all key qualities we want in someone who cares for our Pickle and stays in our home while we are away. I highly recommend Holly to anyone who is looking for someone to walk and care for their pet when they are away.
