Adventures with Me and your Baby!!

After rescuing two of my dogs and gi ving them a whole new life and world, I can't imagine life without dogs! My specialty is small dogs! I've grown up with dogs and dog sat for over 20 +years! Dogs really make my life complete! There isn't anything your dog will be missing at my house! I'm open to the hours that work for you to drop off/pick up at my home, you just name the time! I'm prompt and will always be ready for the furbabies visit! If your dog has anything special,i,e, a special fitted harness or collar, I can accommodate to anything! I have years of experience with harnesses and an assortment of collars, leashes, etc. I can also give them their daily medication, if applicable. I have a huge bin overflowing with squeaky toys! I also have a closet full of grooming supplies and would be happy to give them a bath and brush your pooch! I use biodegradable Earth Bath wipes undert their eyes if needed and soothing Coconut oil on the paws! NOTE: I will also be open to rabbit sitting or any other animals you may need taken care of if you just tell me plenty about them. Price negotiable.

Few updates and only if I requested them. Pictures were blurry and some I could barely make up what was happening and if my dog was doing well. Supposedly my dog had an accident in his crate during the night, however when I picked him up at 6:30 pm, the bedding was soaking wet, smelled awful. My dog had poop in his coat and the crate had poop all over. I had to give my dog two baths because I missed spots where he had poop still. I literally had poop in my hands as we drove out of that place. If what I saw was this bad, I don’t want to imagine how the rest of the stay was. I should have known that the ad was too good to be true. Rover is useless. This is supposed to be a business and there is no accountability. If I went to a bording facility and they returned my stuff like this sitter did, I would have asked for my money back, and most would probably refund at least half of it.

Holly was excellent. She seemed excited to take our 3 year old shih tzu into her home for a few days. Communication was easy to set up drop off & pickup times. She sent status updates letting is know how things were going along with photos & videos. She'll definitely be our first choice when we need to board our dog in the future.

Holly was great with our fur baby. We will definitely choose Holly again to take care of our baby when we are away.

Communication was quite poor. Didn’t look like Luna was taken outside much. Also, she smelled horrible when picking up.

Pets

A typical day

Our adventures will consist of long walks on a nature trail, the park around the corner, and bigger parks on occasion like Tilles Park, or Sugarcreek Des Peres next door to me! I have a dog park right next to me and go daily. We will have shorter walks during the day as well and plenty of fetch! Along with my handy scented doggy bags on walks, I always bring treats, training treats for the puppies and balls! When summer comes, our go-to spot is the Splash Pad! Also in the summer I have a kiddie pool that the dogs can lounge in and splash in! Such a great and fun way to socialize the dogs and cool them off in the hot heat! I also bring a water bottle with me (on ice) and a collapsible water bowl that always quenches the thirst! And of course, our time will consist of LOTS and LOTS of snuggles!!

Holly can host up to 1 pet per night
Their size,age, how they are with others, general temperament.I'm very interested in knowing what their home is like as well and the environment they are accustomed to! No aggressive breeds. We will be one happy family, with the dogs socializing and getting to know each other, if you have more than one.
