Information Holly R. would like to know about your pet

Is your dog friendly with people and other dogs? How often does your dog usually get walked? Is s/he high energy or laid back? What is their daily routine?

I love to go on daily walks to and around Bulloughs Pond in Newton. My other favorite places are Cold Springs Park and Cutler Pond.

Pet care experience

I've always loved dogs and now I have a family that loves dogs! I care for friends' dogs and we have a 3-year-old Australian Labradoodle (before that, I had a dog for 17 years). I have a good yard and am close to parks.

Holly took great care of my dog Koda! She was very sweet, understanding, and patient. I could tell she has experience catering the different dogs needs and personalities, and has the ability to accommodate them and make them comfortable. Koda is a little anxious, and I think she did great with him and made us both very comfortable! She was also very flexible when I realized I was arriving from my trip a little later than expected. Overall great experience, thank you Holly!

Holly kindly took Teddy in at the last minute for a few days. Teddy had so much fun playing with Holly’s dog. Holly was kind and kept us updated every day. I hope to send Teddy to Holly’s again!

Holly and her household were amazing with Ziggy! Holly provided regular updates and photos - and it was clear Ziggy was so happy! This was one of our best experiences with dog boarding on Rover yet, and we will definitely be booking with Holly again! Highly recommend!
