About Holly W.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I prefer to care for pets in the client's home, as my own home is full of cats and a pair of rambunctious dogs. I will follow all instructions given by the client regarding needs in the home and will walk the surrounding neighborhood if possible. If the neighborhood is not suitable (heavy traffic, lack of sidewalks) and if permission is given I can take dogs to walking paths in Fredricksburg or dog parks to ensure they have sufficient enrichment.
Home
Information Holly W. would like to know about your pet
I need to know of any medications, special needs, behavioral issues, etc beforehand so I can accomodate the dog's needs appropriately. Also if there are other people or pets in the home.
A typical day
Generally I like start by reviewing any tricks the dog knows to get them mentally engaged. I intersperse trick requests into playtime and walks also, pausing to reengage their mind every so often. I love to play and will match the dogs playstyle. I also do not mind slow meandering walks so that dogs can get plenty of sniffs in - though this activity stimulates scent dogs better than others.

I love dogs!
Pet care experience
I've been caring for dogs in one form or another since I was a young child. I've experience with rambunctious puppies and incontinent senior dogs. I've also experience with house-training puppies and working with high-energy adult dogs still in training. I believe that consistency and love are integral to keeping dogs of all ages happy and healthy. My experiences with my own dog, a very spirited border collie mix, have been proof of concept. Dogs need stimulation and I am happy to play, go on long walks and trips to the dog park to make sure that your dog gets the attention and energy outlet they need!
Cat care experience
Holly also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Reviews
Holly is amazing! We love her as our dogwalker!
She’s the absolute best and I wouldn’t want anyone else to look after my cat!
Holly is beloved by my pet cat, and is the only one I trust with her. She would be an incredible sitter for those looking for one.
Holly is wonderful!
