I work from home and am able to watch after and care for your pet throughout the day. My dog is very friendly once she stops barking and loves to play with friends when they stay in our home. Potty breaks in our backyard are frequent. Your dog will be showered with lots of love in our home.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fully fenced yard with well maintained grass (no pool or other vegetation). I keep a clean house, and have a friendly (although loud at times) dog who loves to play. I can crate your pup as well if you wish. Animals are welcome on our furniture. When boarding small dogs that prefer sleeping in the bed, I have a bedside sleeper I can put them in with the side down. This lets them have the comfort of sleeping in the bed/with the humans and also provides them a safe space of their own. I do ask that your dog be up to date on their vaccinations and their tick and flea meds, potty trained and that you have a complete Rover profile. I provide attentive care for your animals and therefore I limit the amount of animals I will board. Dogs must be flee and tick free. I cannot board a dog at my house if they have flees or ticks. I will rarely accept daycare requests or drop-off/pick-up times outside of business hours, 7am-8pm. If you have an extenuating circumstance or are an existing client please reach out so that we can work on a mutually beneficial accommodation. I will be flexible for existing clients. If your daycare request is longer than 14 hours, I kindly request that you consider having your pet stay overnight via a boarding request. For new clients, an initial meet and greet will take place at a local dog park. This is for the safety of the animals as well as the safety of us individually. If you are not comfortable with an initial meet and greet in a public place, then I will not be able to do business with you. If we choose to work together I will provide you my address at that time. I am more than happy to have you swing by and check out my place where your beloved family member will be staying for boarding or daycare if you wish. I’m also more than happy to swing by your place if you wish prior to drop-ins to get the ‘lay of the land’. Thank you for understanding.

Information Holly C. would like to know about your pet

I ask that your dog be house trained. I also ask that you have a completed Rover profile prior to requesting services so that I can ensure your animal will be a good fit for my home and well taken care of (this includes having a local vet on file should there be an emergency). Please make sure your dog is up to date on tick and flea medication and tick and flea free.

A typical day

I typically let my dog out many times throughout the day as my meetings permit. We play with her toys and give her belly rubs each time. In the hot summer months walks will be shorter and timed best around the weather if permitted for the safety of the animals. In the cooler months, taking a walk around the neighborhood is common.

Holly C.'s Local Area

WFH M-F with immense love for dogs

Pet care experience

I’ve cared for family pets and pets of friends for decades. I have a genuine love for dogs and animals in general. I know my dog would be much happier with a friend to play with during the days while I work and I’m sure your pup would love a friend too! I also enjoy dropping in to check on your beloved dogs and cats while they’re comfortable in their own home.
