Dog-doc-in-training ready to walk!
Pet care experience
I’m a licensed physical therapist with a canine rehab certification and currently enrolled in veterinary school to earn my doctor of veterinary medicine. I have ample personal and professional experience handling, walking, and caring for dogs of all shapes and sizes!
Reviews
Holden is excellent. Always on schedule, spends the full time, gives a very detailed visit review, and sends lots of pictures. Most of all, Holden gave us peace of mind to leave our fur baby in such good hands. 110% recommend.
As a dog owner himself and a future veterinarian, Holden is the perfect person to choose to care for your dog. He treats all dogs with respect and kindness, prioritizing their well-being and their enjoyment of life. In addition to his love for animals, his knowledge gained from working in canine rehab gives him a unique ability to work with dogs of any ability level. I would undoubtedly trust Holden with my own beloved dog and know that he would work hard to make sure she was not only well cared for, but also had fun with him too!
Holden is known as the dog whisperer in my house. He is kind and compassionate as well as patient with all dogs. He shows responsibility with them at all times.
About Holden S.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I’ve always trained and cared for my dogs through a reward-based system that emphasizes positive reinforcement through treats. Bad behaviors are ignored and desired behaviors are rewarded handsomely!
Information Holden S. would like to know about your pet
Any special needs? Are they working on any specific training that needs reinforced on walks or during check-ins? Is/are your dog(s) aggressive toward people or other dogs?
A typical day
Walks are fun and at your dog’s pace. Depending on how much stimulation they need, we might play games, work on performing basic commands, or just go at a leisurely pace and take in all the smells! Neighborhood walks are the most likely route, but open spaces can be utilized if nearby!
Services

Availability
My schedule is wide open from May through August, but will become more restricted during the school year. I’m ready to walk your pet and stop by for check-ins whenever needed!
