Information Holly W. would like to know about your pet

I appreciate knowing about any medications or special care that your dog my require. My dog, Falcor, was leash aggressive. So, it is helpful to know about any personality traits that require special attention to keep your dog safe.

A typical day

Lots of walks! Lots of play with a favorite toy or two! Of course, lots of cuddle time :-). As an added bonus, my backyard is fully enclosed with a fence.

Former New York City dog walker!

Pet care experience

Over the last 20 years, I've cared for many dogs in different capacities. As a child, I grew up with a sweet dog - Bobo. He was my best friend and always by my side. In my 20s, I moved to New York City and became a full-time dog walker/dog sitter until a job opportunity led me to China. While I was in China, I adopted a dog from the streets and brought him back with me to the US. His name was Falcor (yes, the flying luck dragon from the Neverending Story!). He was my best buddy for 15 years until he sadly passed away a few months ago. My love of dogs has now brought me to Rover. I'm excited to have the opportunity to help you with your furry friends. I have a fenced in backyard and your dog will always be fully supervised. I walked Falcor three times a day, so I'm very active and up for long and frequent walks with your dog as well. Lastly, I have experience administering time sensitive medications. My only request is that your dog is fully potty trained if boarding in my home. Thank you for your interest and please let me know if you have any questions!

Holly was amazing care for Hardy! She sent pictures and updates. She was also very accommodating when my flight got delayed and couldn't pick him up until later. I will be booking with her again in the future!

Holly once again provided exceptional care to Cali over the holidays. She always goes above and beyond to make sure our dog is well loved, pampered and gets all her needs met. Cali got multiple walks each day even when the weather was less than ideal for outdoor activities. Lots of communication, too, including pics and daily updates. Thank you, Holly!!!

Holly provided exceptional care for our dog Cali over a week-long trip. Cali has difficultly with transitions and being in new spaces without us, but it was clear Holly provided a very safe and loving home away from home for her—going well above and beyond to make sure she was pampered. We are so grateful for Holly in our lives and would highly recommend her.
