Highlights
Pet care experience
I love getting dogs outside to play
I have two Border Collies, ages 5 and 4. They have increased my overall dog education tremendously. Having an 'experienced owner' breed of dogs has led me to step up my training game and ideas for mental and physical stimulation. I am ready to use these skills I've developed to raise a couple of good boys, to help you with walks and drop-in visits. I have had my dogs since they were each 1 month old. I am well educated on appropriate exercising needs, basic care, and raw and kibble feeding. I also am aware of safety and basic first aid skills. I am a foster home for Clancy's Dream. Clancy's Dream works to save the lives and rehome Border Collies from all situations across the country. My little guy is an 'adoption failure'. :) I have worked with reactive and anxious dogs. I spend my free time researching training techniques, behaviors, and general health articles. I regularly pet sit for friends in multi-pet households throughout the year. I have worked with daily care of chickens, cats, and dogs of all sizes. I have spent time working for a local dog food company in a pet friendly environment. I have three cats and know the patience and attention they require as well. I have grown up with a Lab, Rottweiler, Mastiff, and a Cane Corso. I put my heart into their little bodies and want them to have a great time when were together and be all set to go back inside, hopefully for a nap. I am very conscious about when they go to the bathroom. If they've just played hard I'm going to wait until they've peed again before ending a session. I don't want anyone to be uncomfortable!

Safety, trust & environment
In my client's home, I have the utmost respect. So much trust goes into allowing someone into your home and to care for you family members with fur. I will have patience and understanding for your pets and meet them where they are on a comfort level. I am an unfamiliar face walking into their home. Upon entering I will say hello to your pet and give some loving before going out to potty. Next, we complete whatever requests you have for your specific visit (play time, basic care, walk, attention, etc.). Lots of love will be offered when working with your pet. I really love dogs so much. So whatever they are into, we will do. Cats are no exception. Even if it's love from a distance. I take lots of pictures of what we do with our time together. I will layout out all our adventures and how we spent our time together, everytime.
Ratings and reviews
I've never met Holly in person but she writes such a good description of walking my dog that I know she does a great job! She recently helped me out in an emergency last minute situation. I'm sure I've reviewed her before but she is responsible and I know my dog is excited to see her! Definitely recommend!
I'm sure I've reviewed before, but Holly is great and professional and helped me out recently in an emergency when another dogsitter did not actually take my dog outside to go potty. She happened to be available to help very last minute.
Holly is very professional and my dog fell for her immediately. I would like to tip her $5:00 on my credi card
Holly is great! Eva loves her long walks.
I loved all the pics she sent! Looks like Pete had a good time. I appreciate her wanting to know any directions, and details about Pete. I also appreciate her pricing being more affordable because I'm planning to be a repeat customer.
Holly has been an absolute blessing! I highly recommend her! She pays attention to detail and wanted to make sure she knew my Luna (my dog) from her treats to her routine. She is so good and so loving with animals. It was comforting to know I had her service and my Luna was able.to stick to her routines. I don't know what I would do if I didn't have Holly. Call her today!

Schedule
I am a school counselor in another school district so I am flexible surrounding the school calendar -- summers and breaks are wide open! During school in-session weeks I am available in the evenings from 5-7.
