Hollie Pavlica

After early retirement from being a UNC professor, Hollie is now at home, dogsitting 24/7. Joe isn't as lucky, and he has to leave each day to run a department at a large university in Chapel Hill. Poor Joe. Hollie has a lot more fun! Together, we use our 30 years of experience caring for dogs to provide quality care for both overnight and occasional doggy daycare in our home.
