Information Holly S. would like to know about your pet

Necessary feeding, allergies, typical schedules, and any quirks they may have! I always need to be aware of any aggression history or reactivity. Aside from that, I want to learn about any behaviors you are currently working to correct/reinforce, or behaviors you are wanting to work on!

A typical day

I tailor my visits to each pet and their individual needs. We may go for a walk to a local park with lots of sniffing, a hike on a nearby trail, work on reactivity, leash pulling, or just stay in for some cuddles and treats! Every dog is different and requires different things.

Pet care experience

Growing up on a farm, I’ve been working with animals for as long as I can remember! From hamsters to horses - I’ve cared for nearly any animal you can think of. I attended Norfolk Aggie, majoring in Animal Science. Since then, I’ve worked as a vet tech, grooming assistant, assistant trainer, and in multiple barns and kennels. Aside from caring for pets, I currently work from home on my fiancé and I’s business, and do freelance photography (always happy to get some cute pics!) Training is a massive aspect of pet care. It’s important to have a sitter that understands your goals, reinforces correct behaviors, and constantly works to improve. Aside from training, having expertise in many areas of pet care, along with having experience with many different species, breeds, and personality types allows me to confidently handle any situation. Not only do I offer top notch care - I’m a huge communicator! I send lots of updates and adorable photos. When booking with me, you will never have to worry or wonder what your pets are up to (Check in as often as you want! I encourage it!) I also offer bathing & nail trims! Please feel free to ask any questions, my priority is always the comfort of you and your furry friends. Looking forward to hearing from you!

Holly was reliable and took excellent care of our dogs. We have an elderly dog that can be difficult at times, but she was patient and made every effort to get him up for his walk.

Our dogs love Holly, and we do too! She’s a great communicator, and super reliable. We have two high energy herding dogs, and she keeps up with them just fine! So glad we found her 😊
