Dogs are my life!
Pet care experience
I got my family dog at age 6, around 16-18 is when I really gained interest in caring for dogs when it comes to food, bathing, health, exercise, play, etc. When he became a senior dog and losing mobility, I spent a lot of time caring for him and making sure he was comfortable. Trying different foods to get him to eat, vet visits, diapers and a harness so he can walk down the stairs. He lived to be 15 and gave me some of the best years full of love and learning! In 2018 I got a job at a dog daycare/boarding facility and still work at to this day. I have very good knowledge on dog behavior, experience with playing with dogs in groups, dealing with health and behavioral issues, administering medications, feeding dogs and lots more! I love this job and I have learned so much! In 2021 I got my first dog as my own. We go on multiple daily walks in the neighborhood and parks in which he thrives on. We spend our days playing, enrichment, training and exercise. He is the best. Owning my own dog has also taught me a lot about caring for a dog and prioritizing their needs. I find joy in caring for dogs, learning about them, and sending pictures to owners with updates!
Reviews
Hollis excels at understanding dog behavior and handling different types of dog. She shows a lot of compassion towards any dog she meets and has handled dogs ranging from puppies to seniors. She cared for my little senior citizen dog who was going through a health situation, she communicated everyday and sent pictures regularly ensuring she was well cared for. I’d highly recommend her services to anyone who needs it, she’s overall very reliable and great with dogs!
Hollis has extensive experience in the dog care industry. I have worked with her for the past six years, and she has played a huge role in the everyday running of a dog daycare and boarding facility. Hollis manages the wellbeing of 30-70 dogs on any given day. Her knowledge and attention to detail on each dog is impressive and helps make every dog have the best experience possible. She not only makes sure their health is a priority but also that every dog is as happy as possible. Hollis is caring and hardworking. She takes the care of every animal very seriously and would make each dog she is responsible for a priority. Couldn’t recommend her more!
Hollis is an exceptional pet owner, and caretaker. She has always loved animals, dogs especially. She did a great job caring for her family dog in the last few years of his life. Not only is she patient and gentle, but she is great with commands, knows how to spot behavioral issues/dogs that are getting triggered, and is very confident in what she does. Hollis would be the perfect pet sitter for your beloved furry family member
Hollis has always loved animals. Her first dog Smokey came into her life in 2005. It was quite apparent as he got older, her heart and compassion for a senior dog was incredible. She tried special foods, supplements and exercises. She gave him lavender oil massages to help him sleep better. When she started working at Three Dog Bakery, Smokey would get all the best treats. When Smokey passed in 2020 at age 15, we knew it wouldn’t be long until Hollis would need a new companion. She rescued River in 2022 and is the most amazing dog mom. River rescued Hollis too. She is kind and empathetic and extremely patient. She works with 50-80 dogs every day currently as a manager at Playful Pooch Doggie Daycare. It’s her calling.
