About: I have lived with cats and dogs my entire life. I have been a volunteer with Paws with a Cause for 20+ years. I have whelped 120+ puppies for Paws with a Cause. I retired from architecture September 2021. I am looking to earn money for my interest in pets. This is my main goal in retirement. Crashes Landing and Paws with a Cause I have a retired Paws with a Cause breeding stock female lab. My yard is not fenced. Pets will be kept on long leads. I live on a lake. If your pet loves water they can access the lake with your approval.
About: I’ve owned dogs all my life. I believe they are more than pets, they are trusted friends. I will treat your dog as if he/she were my own. I work primarily from home. I’m away only 10-15 hours per week. I’m very flexible and willing to work with you for the love and benefit of your pet. I live in my new built home. There is a lot of area outside where we can walk, but I’ll never leave a dog unattended. I have my kids (aged 16 & 18) part time. They may be around. My kids love dogs.
About: I've owned small and large dogs throughout my life - all are special and loved as part of my family. My children and I have watched our neighbor's dogs (along with turtles, fish, plants, etc.) and treated them as if they were our own. I am a full-time professor on summer break, allowing me the freedom to be available to watch, walk, interact with, and care for not only my own Mini Goldendoodles, but up to two additional small or medium sized dogs. I live at the end of a cul-de-sac with a large fenced in yard with a 12 lb Mini Goldendoodle to keep your loved fur babies company. I am able to crate your dog if needed. Additionally, I have found that many owners enjoy having daily pictures sent to them of their dogs enjoying their vacation here.
“My girl Kona absolutely loved Holly! Holly gave her all sorts of opportunities to play and explore, and gave Kona lots of attention. I could tell that she gave Kona the same care and attention that I would. I highly recommend letting your puppies stay with Holly!”
“It was my first time using Rover and I couldn't imagine it going any better than it did with Bree. She just plain awesome. It was like taking my little fluffster to a family member's house for the day, and said fluffster didn't want to leave. 20 out of 10 stars.”
“Jenny was awesome with Buddy. She Provided a nice calm place for my very senior dog. I was impressed by the care and concern she showed for his arthritis and special needs. I am super thankful for her flexibility in accommodating Buddy for my travels. Highly recommend.”
“Shelby was great with our 4 math old pup, our girl had a great time playing with their pooches and chickens and we picked up a tuckered out girl that slept in the next morning! Shelby was in touch with us throughout the day and was very accommodating to our schedule which ended up running long. I will definitely use Shelby again!”
