“Keylor and Grace were very accommodating when I was running late and when I picked Molly up earlier than expected. They were gracious and kind and took very good care of our Frenchie. She had such a good time with the bigger dogs; she was sad at home without them.”
“Tina was great with Smokey . I was nervous about leaving him but Smokey warmed up to her right away . She sent pictures of him and let me know how he was doing. I will book her again.”
“Arya has continued to do an amazing job with our dogs. We just had them at his house for a week while we were on vacation and they loved staying with him! He is so good about giving us updates throughout the day and I know they get all the attention they need. So glad we have found him to take care of our fur babies. We will definitely continue to use him in the future!”
“Communicative and professional! Put my mind at ease being away from my baby Gizmo in a new state for so long, but he fit in just fine and was very timely with responses! Would love to use again when we come up next year!”
“Melody is loving and knowledgeable about dogs. She truly gave our dog a home to stay in and not just food, water, and shelter. We would not hesitate to have a return booking and we would highly recommend.”
“Katelyn and Nicholas were both welcoming and a great host for our 11 month old golden retriever. We were provided frequent updates/pictures which was comforting because this was our first trip without our dog. We will return if we ever need their services again!”
“Lauranne was absolutely wonderful with my dog. I received frequent updates and photos throughout the day, which put my mind at ease. I was especially impressed with their patience in dealing with his picky eating habits, which can be a challenge. It was so clear how much she cared for my dog, and I came home to a happy, tired pup. Highly recommend! Laurie is the best! I finally found a trustworthy, caring boarder! Thank you so much Laurie! I appreciate you! I will definitely get on your schedule for future getaways!”

He also has the perfect yard for the dogs to run around and play. We would definitely recommend him! ? You will be very happy with his care!”
“Jill and her family took excellent care of our baby! Great Danes can be a bit of a handful, but Jill took everything in stride and was super communicative about how she was doing. Will definitely be booking with her again!”

About: I’ve always been an animal lover and a firm believer of caring for someone’s baby as if they were my own! I have anxiety leaving my babies for work or vacations and will always be understanding and empathetic to you and your babies during that time! I do work a normal 9-5 throughout the week, as a STNA doing home health, but I have Thursdays and Sundays off and available for all day help you may need! I’m also available for sitting overnight or multiple nights in your home or mine! I do have 2 dogs and 3 cats of my own but my doggos are big puppy lovers and love play dates! As an STNA, I am in people’s homes all day everyday and just as I’ve been trusted the last four years with loved ones in the form of the elderly I take care of, I can be trusted with your loved ones in the form of fur babies 🫶🏼 I have a fenced in yard and two playful doggos always looking for play dates! As well as a puppy pool and plenty of toys that my doggos love to share! In your home, I love a good list of your pups routine and will stick to it to keep them happy and comfortable!
“We left our fur babies with Jamie for a week. We got pictures and updates multiple times a day. I’m pretty sure my boys didn’t want to come home because they were having so much fun!! I would highly recommend using Jamie to care for your animals. I felt reassured everyday that my dogs were having fun and being loved on.”
About: I've had dogs for the majority of my life. Over the past 20 years I've owned a cocker spaniel and 2 malshi. At one point I bread my Malshis and Mom had 5 beautiful puppies who I successfully placed in loving homes. I currently have one malshi who I absolutely adore. I have been a dogsitter for the past 3 years for a co-worker who travels a lot for work. I have experience with small dogs, muts and golden retrievers. I live in a lovely suburb ideal for dog walking. I also have a sizeable back yard for play. My dog loves the company of other pets. I currently work full time and work a hybrid schedule between the office and home. I have lots of dog toys for play, dog snacks and dog beds for sleeping. I have a good sized back yard with a leader for small dogs. My neighborhood is dog friendly and a great place to walk dogs. I can crate your dog if needed.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Howard home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Howard.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Howard sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.

Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
