Behavioral/medical, home full-time!
Pet care experience
☀️Hi there! My name is Holly. I am the president of a 501(c)(3) animal rescue, Pitties and Kitties Rescue of New Mexico. I live with my partner, Andrew, who is the treasurer of my rescue. We both work from home full-time. We welcome all dogs, any size and any breed. We also don’t mind most behavioral or medical problems! With over 6 years of fostering and volunteering, we have encountered many kinds of behavioral and medical issues. We are happy to accommodate if that applies to your dog. I also have a year of experience working in a veterinarian’s office and a year of experience working as a foster coordinator at a shelter. Our yard is completely fenced-in with a 6-foot concrete fence. Feel free to check out our boarding Instagram, which showcases dogs that we’ve boarded and are currently boarding! Our Instagram is @hollyshoundhotel. 📚Experience: We've had our rescue for a year now but we have fostered and volunteered for multiple organizations for over 6 years. We have experience with many breeds, temperaments, and personalities! We’ve fostered all ages of dogs from neonatal puppies to senior dogs and everything in-between. We are both well-versed in dog body language. We constantly interact with dogs on a daily basis while running our rescue. 🐶Separation anxiety? We both work from home and have extensive experience with dogs with separation anxiety. We have several steel, indestructible crates if your dog benefits from one of those at your home. 🐶Dog selective dog or not dog friendly? We have our entire house baby-gated to section off our house. There is separation between the living room, our hallway, and our bedrooms/at-home offices. We have no issue with separating your dog from our other animals for the entire stay. We can do separate walks and separate playtime to make sure your dog still gets exercise and stimulation if they fall under this category. 🐶Not cat friendly? Our cat has her own room and is usually kept separate from the dogs. 🐶Medical problems? Holly has a year of experience in a veterinarian’s office and we have had many medical fosters with various ailments over the years. We are comfortable accommodating most medical needs as long as you just let us know what to do. 🐶Shy or wary around strangers? We have had many shy fosters and we are totally happy to board any shy babies. (Shy babies are Holly’s fav) 🐶Resource guards food or other resources? We keep all feedings separate by default. If your dog guards other resources like toys or something else, we can accommodate that as well. 🐶All this to say, we truly welcome any and all dogs. If your dog has any sort of medical or behavioral problems, we most likely are able to work around it. Just let us know ahead of time what to expect or during the meet & greet.
Reviews
Amazing and so caring!! Great communication and a wonderful pet focused, pet safe household. Holly annd Andrew took extra care to make sure my kitty cat was comfortable and loved!! They were so kind and I enjoyed the photos and videos, and I could tell she felt so happy! When I picked her up, she was relaxed and she had really good stay! I will for sure be having my baby stay with them again!!!!
I will definitely be having Tina stay with Holly and Andrew again. You can tell they are very comfortable with all sorts of dogs as well as boarding. Tina is a smaller mini pinscher with a big attitude, she is a Houdini and was worried about leaving her for a whole week as she has run away before and sometimes is anxious about making friends with new dogs as well as new people. But— Holly and Andrew were so good with her from the get go and sent me pictures every day while I was on vacation, so I felt at ease. They also kept her separate as much as she needed from other dogs although I can tell she had a lot of fun and built a lot of confidence from making new friends this week. We plan on having her come back in the future for even smaller patches of time as possible for her to socialize or future vacation trips given the trust I now have in Holly and Andrew.
My dogs had such a a great time here! Holly and Andrew were super accommodating to my individual pets needs and went above and beyond. You can tell they're really passionate about animals. I would highly recommend them.
Holly and Andrew are fantastic. They went the extra mile when we had a medical emergency and gladly offered to keep our fur baby for however long we needed them. They were a godsend for sure!!

Safety, trust & environment
🏡Environment: We both work full-time from home so there’s very little time that your dog will be left alone during their stay. We have a fenced-in backyard with a 6-foot concrete fence. Your dog is also welcome on our couch and on the bed in our spare bedroom/home office. If your dog is not allowed on furniture at your house, we can certainly enforce that as well. As we mentioned above, we can absolutely separate your dog from our dogs if you prefer that in our spare bedroom. If you prefer your dogs to be around our dogs, we are happy to facilitate those introductions as well. We have extensive experience with doing dog introductions. All of our dogs are fixed and up-to-date on vaccinations.

We welcome any and all kinds of animals. We can accommodate most behavioral or medical problems! Just let us know ahead of time so we know what to expect and we’re happy to make your fur baby feel at home. We do not require a meet & greet prior to booking with us but may have some questions for you prior to or during drop off so we know what to expect. Intact animals can be boarded with us on a case by case basis. If your animal is intact, please inquire with that being noted and we can talk about logistics. If accepted, boarding an intact animal can result in higher rates.
A typical day
For dogs, a typical day includes a morning potty break and breakfast. We feed dinner to the dogs in the evening. While we are usually home most days, we do need to step out occasionally but for no more than 4-6 hours. We are happy to adjust that with the needs of your dog. Our dogs get plenty of time to play in our at-home offices and in the yard throughout the day if you would like your dog to do so. Dogs are offered numerous opportunities to go out to potty. We always crate all our dogs at night and whenever we leave the house. Your dog can either be crated in a separate crate alongside our dogs in the living room or separately in the spare bedroom. It’s totally fine if your dog is not crate-trained! If you prefer your dog to free-roam, we can discuss that just to understand if your dog has any destructive tendencies when left uncrated. For cats, a typical day includes breakfast and a daily litterbox cleaning. If it’s a work day, then Andrew will be in his office to spend time with your cat during the day! We have lots of toys and a cat tree by a window for your cat to look out. In the evenings and on the weekends, we can let your cat out to roam our living room and hang out with us if you are comfortable with that. We feed dinner in the evening.
