House Sitting in Howard

“Ashley responded quickly to my initial request for an overnight stay with my German Shepherd and was even willing to do a meet-and-greet with Isa before I went out of town for several days to make sure Isa was comfortable with her and that went great. Ashley asked lots of questions and really seemed interested in getting to know Isa. Ashley arrived when she said she would the day I left and she sent photos and updates of how Isa was doing each day and everything went very smoothly. Ashley took Isa out for walks, played with her in my fenced yard, and was even able to give Isa her meds along with her food which I really appreciated. I am really happy to have found a sitter that I can depend on and one that truly seemed to enjoy spending time with my dog as well. I'll definitely be using Ashley to watch Isa again in the future!”

“David did a FANTASTIC job with my 2 dogs. Gave me constant texts and updates without having to prompt for them. I have an epileptic dog that requires medication twice a day and he was great at giving him the oral pills timely. Also took them on our regular 2 a day walks with lots of pictures/videos. In addition to all that left my home clean and dishes done even. Will be using David in the future for sure. Pups loved him and so did I.”

“House and dog both were well cared for! Meredith did a great job handling some last minute changes due to an injured doggo and I felt safe leaving my dog in her care for some R&R while I was out of town.”

“Emily did a great job with my pack . Even handled the unpleasant task of cleaning up after a sick dog. I was very comfortable leaving them with her for the first time. They seemed really comfortable with her and the house was in great shape when we got home. I would book her again!”

“Brittany was well loved by our pups and Brittany loved our pups while we were gone. We were especially grateful when our dogs injury re-emerged while we were gone she picked up medicine and administered it until we returned home.”

About: I've taken care of animals since i was a child. Dogs are my passion but i grew up working on farms and i am very passionate about all animals and their needs. I currently have a very open schedule and willing to do my best to make peoples needs my top priority in helping care for their pets. I am willing to travel to your home to keep your pet comfortable in its own surroundings. Love taking walks or cuddling whichever suites your pets needs.

“Willow was awesome! Our dog loves her. :) We're very happy with the care that Willow provided our dog (Phoebe - Shiba Inu) and cat (Coco - Calico). They were both very content and accepted Willow as a person of theirs right away. We will ask Willow again to sit for us in the future. 5 stars!”

“Katy kept us up to date and sent plenty of pictures. When we got home, our dogs were ahbpy and well taken care if, and the house was spotless.”

“Becky is a very caring person who also happens to be an RN. She has taken an interest in helping with two standard poodles that I am currently raising. As you know, poodles require good grooming, exercise and lots of love. Becky would be an excellent person to consider for your pets needs. As in our family, our pets are considered one of those precious family members. She herself has been a pet owner for several years and will know what to do in any situation. Lastly, when she says she’s going to do something or says she will be there, you can definitely rely on her!”

“I have used Carley as a pet sitter for my two dogs many times. You can tell she loves what ever animal she sits as her own. She always takes care of my pups above and beyond and is always my first call! If you want a reliable, caring, and awesome pet sitter, call Carley!”

“Brianna was excellent with axel and Kimber communicated well all weekend and the pups were more than happy to have her.”

“She did an excellent job! Kept me up to date and sent pics. My puppies loved her! Would highly recommend!”

About: I’ve been in FFA for two years. I’m currently working at a veterinarian office. I’ve administered medications, know how to handle problematic pets, and give the love you’re pet needs. I’ve helped friends babysit neighborhood pets, took care of family pets and do kennels as my other job. My current schedule is all availability but soon I will be starting a job that I can manage both pets and work meaning I will have time to comfort cats and let out dogs! I do have a cat at home named lunchbox and he is very loved for. I make time for him as well as bring him outside when the weather is nice. I will assure you that I will keep your home happy and safe as I would sometimes have to make house calls during my vet experience. I have also house sitted for past families in my neighborhood. I will assure you that things will be placed where they are left and doors will be locks and safe.

“Katherine did great with our dogs who are both large. She walked them and sent updates often. I think she even vacuumed dog hair up! Will definitely book again.”

About: I have experienced every step of Animal Care; from my first childhood dog birthing a litter of pups, to end-of-life care more recently with my family dog. Let me know what makes your critter happy, and know that your pooch is in loving, warm hands. I have cared for dogs 3/4s of my 35 years on this planet and even moved a dog back acquired internationally off of the streets of Beirut, Lebanon with a previous girlfriend and trained obedience into the street dog, and to be accustomed to a more sedentary American-Style home living. I am currently shifting from a sales career in finance to a tech career, and am spending some quality time with my parents in Appley Valley for a few months outside of Mt. Vernon before I rewire my focus back to an intensive career-oriented work environment. I am holding off on a full-time job and would love to take care of your pet and give them all of my attention and focus whenever you need me, even if it's an emergency. I have no other work engagements currently as I'm taking two months to catch up with my folks while I transition to a new firm. I have a finished basement apartment underneath a 2600 sq ft. ranch, where your animal children are welcome to relax on my furniture and enjoy an acre of wooded land and a 10-minute drive to Bark Park outside of Appley Valley Lake Community. I can travel and my car is dog-friendly if your creature likes to socialize or play at any of the local parks or dog parks. If your pooch needs a Paw-Wash or "the Works" I have a walk-in shower where we can have your puppy smelling "so fresh and so clean" upon returning the critter to your domicile.

“Taylor was fantastic! She went above and beyond… we have definitely found our new permanent sitter!”

“So happy I found Coby on Rover! She stayed for several days overnight to house and pet sit our animals. I felt at ease knowing she was taking great care of the cats and dogs. She communicated daily and sent pictures of the dogs. We will definitely use Coby again.”

“Sherrie is the best when it comes to dogs. She has one of her own. When she first got her dog from the shelter, the dog was very adamant of learning anything. With her dedication and love for animals, she was able to train her dog. Now, that dog is one of the sweetest. We have two dogs, our corgi babies. She watched our dogs multiple times. She’s our go to dogs-sitter (and babies-sitter at the same time) when my husband and I go for a date or out of town. Every time she comes over, our dogs wag their tails and very happy to see her. We are comfortable of her watching our kiddos (paw babies and hoomans) anytime if need to. Sherrie is extremely knowledgeable and is our go to person if we have any questions or need an opinion about anything pertaining to dogs. She provides such a wonderful, thoughtful, and caring service...you can't get that just anywhere. Our family is blessed to have her in our lives.”

About: I am flexible & always happy to help with anything you may need help with! Im experienced with both young excited pups & older calm dogs! I also have experience sitting overnights, or afternoons , and vacations! I do have a cat as well ! I am currently working part-time 5- 10:30, So i tend to have quite a lot free time as i am waiting for school to start in the fall ! Always check gates , collars and leashes to ensure all animals are protected. I don’t tend to use creates unless absolutely necessary, unless I have directions to do otherwise.

About: I’ve had countless dogs & cats my whole life and have done plenty of walking and sitting for other people’s pets so I have plenty of experience! Pet care is something that I can fit into my schedule especially a few days a week! I would prefer to know in advance, the more advance the better! I can take the dogs on a week, feed them, play outside with them and give them some love and attention whenever I see them
