Information Holly I. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behavioural issues. I can accommodate most everything and have good knowledge of breed behaviors.

A typical day

We wake up early, have breakfast and meet with any new dogs to have a quick meet and greet and playtime in the yard to make sure everyone gets along well. Then we head out for our first walk out the front door into doggy paradise. We run and play for at least an hour before we come back and romp around the yard for a few hours and out again in the afternoon for another adventure! In the summer, we have access to a private beach less than five minutes from my front door for the swimmers in the group. We stay out as long as it takes to tire everyone out! Every day is a new day and a new adventure.

Holly was amazing with my dog Freya. She handled her medication with ease, took her on fun off-leash adventures, and truly gave her the best care. Freya came back happy, fulfilled, and clearly well-loved. I felt so good leaving her with Holly and would trust her again in a heartbeat.

Hello I would highly recommend Holly to care for your Pets,she is attentive & caring, clearly an animal Person. Holly has looked after my Farmily (3 dogs, Cat, and Our Home) on multiple occasions including a time when my Biggest Boy Fozzy had an injured knee, He needed to be somewhat Quarantined from Play and administered Vet prescribed Medication for his pain and swelling. Holly followed our instructions during that worrisome time. I have had zero concerns when leaving my Pets in her care and to add to the mix of Awesomeness is her Sweet Boy Rex. Rex is very well trained, has great recall and attached to Holly by the hip.
