Pet care experience
Hi my name is Holly, I am a stay at home mom of 2 boys and I've been a pet owner my entire life. I grew up with cats and dogs and I presently have a beautiful, sweet, male golden retriever who I absolutely adore. I love all animals and have experience with dogs, cats, hamsters and amphibians. I have a secure yard that is completely fenced in with grass, woodchips, a doggie door and a deck where the dogs love to lie in the sun after playing. While boarding or providing daycare, I don't spend much time away from home except to take and pick up my boys from school or to head out for the occasional errand. I believe quality of life and respect toward our pets is important. I understand that it can be stressful for some dogs to be away from their owners in a new and unfamiliar place. I am patient, kind and loving. Your pup will be safe, very well cared for, loved and never lonely or bored at our house!
Reviews
Holly has taken care of our finicky rabbits many times. She’s our go to! We can leave town with less concern because of Holly!
Holly is the best!!!
As always, Holly is great! She goes above and beyond and we are so appreciative. We feel so comfortable leaving our kitty in her care, and he LOVES his Holly visits! Definitely recommend!
Holly took great care with Lily. She sent pictures and information about how Lily was doing and we knew she was in good hands.

My home is a very welcoming and warm place for dogs. We are a dog family and have dog beds and toys all over. Pets warm up to us pretty fast when staying here and even after a few minutes if a meet & greet.

Information Holly H. would like to know about your pet
I do ask if a dog is, used to being boarded and if they have any separation anxiety. I also ask if they have the tendency to want to run away or escape. I also ask if they have any reactions to passing by certain other dogs or objects. (I walk a dog who wants to lunge toward skateboarders but we are working on that!)
A typical day
We play, tug, fetch and our Sunny loves to run and chase! He has different play styles with different dogs but we always like to get their legs moving. We love our neighborhood walks saying hi to friends and getting the best doggy sniffs!

Pet care is my part time job that I love very much. I look forward to seeing all of our guest dogs and doing walks and drop-ins on a weekly basis. It doesn’t even feel like work!
