Attentive to pet comfort and needs
Pet care experience
I'm a huge lover of long walks/hikes, nature & dogs of all sizes and personalities. I currently help care for my relative's elderly and blind pup, Ladybug, in addition to being a full time fur mom to Lu, my goofy and energetic rescue dog. I'm extremely comfortable handling dogs and leveraging basic obedience techniques in order to help things go smoothly (positive reinforcement is what I rely heavily upon.) Over the past year, due to my Lu's newly formed fear aggression, I've also gained a great deal of experience in recognizing a dog's body language and I've learned how to appropriately intervene. Additionally, given my relative's elderly dog's declining health, I'm very observant of changes in pet health and I'm comfortable administering medications if necessary during drop ins. I'm a problem solver when challenges arise and you can rest assured that your pup will experience the same love and care that my Lu pup does. Generally I'm available Tuesday-Fridays during business hours. However, if you have a special need, feel free to reach out and I'll do what I can to help out.
Reviews
Holly is amazing with dogs! She has amazing patience for training dogs, and has spent countless hours working working with our dog Lu on obedience and fear aggression issues. There is nobody else I would ever trust the care of my fur babies with!
Holly has watched my pup ,Darwin ,many times. She's friendly and reliable when it came to coordinating everything. She has a dog of her own so I felt comfortable knowing she knew the importance of walking, feeding, and other dog needs. Darwin loves her and we definitely recommend!

Information Holly G. would like to know about your pet
Please just let me know if there are any current medical concerns and if there are any situations that make your dog uncomfortable. For example, if your pup is fearful of skateboarders, I'll gladly avoid a street where I see a bunch of skateboarders.
A typical day
We'll walk through the neighborhood and/or on a trail as long as it's wide enough where we won't be brushing up against foliage (given the increased tick population over the past couple years.) Also, I'm all for playing tug and/or fetch if that's something your dog is interested in.
