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!

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!

Holly's Gatewood Petsitting

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!

So happy we found Holly to take care of our fur babies while we were out of town for the weekend! Our pup has a neurological condition that affects his balance, and he requires a lot of patience and tlc, especially for walks. She made it a priority to get him over to the park every day and give him a chance to roll around in the grass (his favorite) and sunbathe. Our cat immediately warmed up to her, too, and was happy to get all the cuddles while we were away. She always sent over the sweetest photos of them both and was very prompt with all of her responses. Having peace of mind while traveling is truly the biggest relief. I could not recommend Holly enough!!
