“Dutch loved his time with Ric!! I got tons of cute pics of Dutch while we were away and he was a happy, tired pup when we picked him up from a fun weekend of playing!”
“Kathleen was great! She kept us updated with pictures and messages. We would most certainly let Piper stay with Kathleen and we already have booked her again for drop-in visits.”
“Victoria watched Moose overnight (11 month old Labrador Retriever) as we attended a wedding out of town. Moose is a very sweet, big and ill -mannered boy. Victoria did a fabulous job with Moose, sent multiple updates throughout the evening and the next morning, and eased any concerns that we had about his big sleepover!

I am grateful that we have found a high-quality and dependable sitter for Moose, and I highly recommend Victoria.”

About: Howzit 🤙 I’m excited to shower your pets with love! I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life, always treating them like family—with patience, consistency, and plenty of love. Over the years, I’ve built real-life experience from long walks, silly play sessions, cozy couch naps, and learning the little quirks that make each pet one-of-a-kind. Whether it’s boarding, daycare, or house sitting, my goal is simple: to make your pets feel safe, happy, and cared for—just like they’re at home. Because when your pets are with me, they’re family too. 🐾 I work full time from home Monday thru Friday, with weekends typically spent at the dog park, hiking, or camping (with my doggies). Pet care isn’t just a task in my day—it’s part of my rhythm. I start and end my days with walks, play, and feeding routines, and I naturally build in time for snuggles, potty breaks, and play sessions throughout the day. Whether it’s a weekday or weekend, I keep a flexible schedule so I can give your pets the attention they deserve. Caring for animals has always been part of my daily life, so fitting your pets into my routine feels like second nature. Whether your pets are with me in my home or I’m caring for them in yours, the routine is built around comfort, safety, and fun. That means sticking to their feeding schedules, giving them the right balance of exercise and play, and making time for cuddles and rest. I treat your pets—and your home—with the same care and respect I give my own.
“Tevon was a great sitter and very accommodating when I hit some travel delays! I also very much appreciated the FaceTime call before dropping off my pup.”
“Chang was amazing and took great care of Duran while he stayed with her. He loved playing with her and her dog, as well as the other dog she had staying with her. He really enjoyed his stay and I could tell because the couple of times I picked him up and dropped him back he couldn't wait to go inside her place and play with his new friends!”
“E'Ronda took great care of our 5 month old puppy! He came back super happy and had a bath, trimmed nails and a lot of confidence. E'Ronda was very flexible with my incorrect/changed drop off and pick up times and was very nice and easy to communicate with. We were very happy with everything!”
“Kristen was absolutely amazing! My dog was sssssooooo comfortable with her and the other pets. Even made friends with a kitten!!!!! Love her! Will definitely be reaching out to her again!!!! THANK YOU 😊”
“Rose was a great dog-sitter for our dog, Wednesday! We loved getting a daily update with pictures of our girl. Wednesday and Rose’s dog Daisy had fun playing together, too! Already booked another stay for Wednesday with Rose for our next trip!”
About: I love dogs and have experience with many dogs of varying ages and breeds. I grew up with golden retrievers, a dachshund, and a variety of rescue dogs and cats. For the past 12 years I had a Great Dane, Harry, who sadly passed away recently. I raised Harry from the time he was 8 weeks old so we went through the puppy stages, the teenage years, and the golden senior years. So, I’ve seen it all as a dog mom chewing, behavior issues, allergic reactions, accidents, illnesses, etc. I’m well equipped to take care of your pet and handle any challenge that may come up. I’ll care for your pet like he/she is a member of my own family- just like I did with Harry for 12 years. We will go for walks, have playtime, snuggle on the couch- whatever they’re into! I’m very organized, timely, and resourceful. I will work with your schedule and follow any instructions you have for your pet, no matter how specific. I do not have any pets of my own right now and have a fenced in yard. I work from home so can spend a lot of time with your pet at my home or drop in at your home as-needed. I work full-time from home so have flexibility with pet care needs throughout the day. I can provide bathroom breaks and feedings as needed throughout the day as well as check-ins. I have a fenced in yard (front and back) for the dog to use, but also have plenty of walkable areas around my house. I have no pets of my own right now. At a client’s home I will follow their instructions for yard usage, walks, etc.
“Sebastian was a wonderful careing dog sitter for my Mother’s golden doodle. He has a beautiful , super clean home with a big fenced in back yard. We will most definitely be using him in the future.”

Mariah S.
“Mariah is absolutely wonderful with animals! She has a natural calmness and patience that pets really respond to, and I’ve always felt completely confident leaving my fur babies in her care. She is reliable, communicative, and truly treats pets like they are her own. Mariah also takes the time to work on training, and she is incredibly attentive and protective, making sure every pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just making sure they’re comfortable, she goes above and beyond every time. I couldn’t recommend her more to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring sitter on Rover!”

Christine was honestly so amazing. From the beginning she was soo helpful! I have never booked through here before or knew how this whole process went, and Christine made this process just so easy. I was so skeptical leaving my old lady while I went out of town due to her having anxiety issues from her shelter stay before I adopted her. But Christine made this a perfect stay for her! I got daily photos and updates and my Bella Bean even made a friend!!! (Christine’s kitten). This was just a lovely experience! And since my Bella Bean is so comfortable with Christine now, I will absolutely be booking again!! Thank you so much Christine!! 💗💗
Amber was great with my dog while I was away! She took him for walks every day, she hung out with him, and everything! She did such an excellent job that I don’t think he even cared that I was gone! She provided the best care, definitely recommend booking her!
Aeryana was very communicative throughout the weekend she had my 2 dogs. I appreciated the updates and photos! She was also understanding when they got into some food they shouldn’t have, and also when they had some stress behaviors. Would definitely recommend her to take care of your pups!
