Staff Chaplain specializing in behavioral health rehabilitation working at the VA hospital. I had a Cocker Spaniel for many years after becoming a failed foster (see attached picture of my Mitzy. ;) Thus, I successfully fostered until adopting.

Read moreStaff Chaplain specializing in behavioral health rehabilitation working at the VA hospital. I had a Cocker Spaniel for many years after becoming a failed foster (see attached picture of my Mitzy. ;) Thus, I successfully fostered until adopting. She passed from old age so I now am open to care for others’ animals. I was raised on a farm that had horses, goats, pigs, chickens, dogs and cats.

I’ve ‘made it’ in my career by most chaplains’ standards and have passed probationary year as a government worker, yet want further training in behavioral health therapies and statistical research skills. So, I’m reducing my work to part-time for such academics.

I’m a non-smoker, light social drinker, as a rule don’t bring others into somebody’s home, and can provide character/caregiving references. In April of 2023 I passed a T3 National Security Background Clearance as my current job has been at a Navy Hospital/Base.

I have a partner [Navy Veteran, former Corpsman, whose job requires an active Secret Security Clearance], yet we are navigating adult children living in his Chicagoland home; he works a full-time job there to hold down that fort. [See attached picture]

My mother lives in the Seattle area and comes visit me on occasional adventures, when able/appropriate. She is a retired school teacher and thus has been an upstanding citizen in many communities. She was faithful to teach me right from wrong and has not lost such scruples.

Thanks for your consideration to care for your home and/or pets!

ALICE (Berwyn Illinois, Dec 2024 - 4 weeks)

I cannot praise Holly enough for being the most amazing housesitter. She took care of my home and five cats for a month, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. From our first interaction, Holly was incredibly kind, thoughtful, and attentive. She bonded so well with the kitties and kept me updated with the sweetest photos and messages throughout the trip. Two kitties required medication and she administered with care, helping them recover. Seeing Holly’s updates was the highlight ...

From our first interaction, Holly was incredibly kind, thoughtful, and attentive. She bonded so well with the kitties and kept me updated with the sweetest photos and messages throughout the trip. Two kitties required medication and she administered with care, helping them recover. Seeing Holly’s updates was the highlight of my day, filling me with so much warmth and reassurance. When I returned, my kitties were thriving and flourished under her care. She also went above and beyond in looking after my home all around! Holly is simply incredible, and I would give her the highest recommendation without hesitation.

CARLENE (Chicago Illinois, Sep 2024 - 5 nights)

Holly was amazing with my fur baby Sydney! She paid very close attention to her and made sure to give her the best care while I was away. She sent constant pictures and videos to ease my mind and her communication and attention to detail was great. I would absolutely have her dog sit again!
