Information Holly M. would like to know about your pet
Before I take care of your dog I would like to know the following: 1. Emergency contact numbers(preferably your number & their vets). 2. Any physical or psychological issues so we can try to avoid any tiggers or if something does happen how to help them through it. 3. Any medicine taken daily, monthly or as needed. 4. What food, treats(and how much per day) they eat. 5. Any special toys, blankets, beds. etc to help comfort them.
A typical day
I love to hike with my clients dogs. There are so many great trails near my home. It's a great way for the dogs to get their energy out and exercise. I also have over 4 acres of land to play fetch or just relax in the shade. We do not have pets of our own. This offers your pet to feel safe, especially if they are not comfortable with other pets. If your dog, cat, etc does like other pets around, I can definitely plan a playdate.

I truly love what I do for a living
Pet care experience
My family and I are true animal lovers. We have volunteered at local shelters, felines rescues and aquariums. Over the years we adopted/rescued 2 dogs & 5 cats. Our last dog Ollie passed a years ago and our last cat Pavarotti passed about 2 years ago. My husband and I owned a business for over 20 years. After selling our business we want to adopt/rescue again, but my mom became ill and needed 24 hrs care, so we moved her in with us. After caring for my mom for 5 years, she passed away. Caring for my mom was an honor and I feel blessed I had that opportunity to do so. My mom was also an animal lover as well. She reminded me of all the volunteering I did for animals as a child and an adult. Our family, neighbors and friends always depended on me and my family to care for their animals when they were away. They knew that their fur family was in good hands. I am truly inspired by animals, If you take the time to see how animals truly live in the moment and love unconditionally, you will be inspired as well!
Reviews
Holly hosted my dog for a sleepover on super short notice while we visited family. She provided many updates and several pictures of their walks. Holly even took her to several trails during the quick stay! There aren't many that will take on an opinionated or chatty husky for even a night but I'm thankful Holly was up for it! I'll definitely use her again next time we are in the area.
Holley was attentive and our dog enjoyed her stay
Holly was so sweet, caring and attentive, taking good care of my cats and keeping touch with me. Highly recommend!!
This was the first daycare with Holly and Sarah for my german shepherd, Evie, and it went very well. They got her over her initial separation anxiety quickly and then took her on miles of local trails which she enjoyed very much. It is clear they both love dogs and are willing to do what's needed to keep them safe and happy. Will have Evie back soon.
