House Sitting in Howard

“There is no more a perfect person for this job! Abby’s been caring for her own pets her entire life. She is a compassionate and reliable person who will go above and beyond to give any pet the care they deserve.”

“Megan was great with Louie! She was punctual, kind, and understanding of his needs.”

About: I've been looking after animals since I was young. I've always been around them and taught how to properly care for them. I've been trusted to watch neighbors, friends, and family pets while they were away. I know how to care for really young pups to senior dogs who need medications and a higher level of love and attention than other dogs. As well as everything in between. I love animals and making them/seeing them happy makes me happy as well. I'm currently not working except for a small side job so I have a lot of time to dedicate towards my pets as well as others beloved pets. I have a large yard for your pup to run around and my own pup to keep company. We often go for walks/hikes/bike rides and if the weather is nice we go for swims in a local river and lake! We can be very active and also sleep most of the day away! All depends on pups energy and comfort levels. Everything I do is based around my dog (and the other pups) comfort level and energy level. I have long leashes (70ft) for fun time outside if your pup cant be offleash.

“Rachel was a fabulous dog and house sitter! We came home to a very happy pup and the house was the same as we left it. I highly recommend Rachel. Communication was easy, reliable, and friendly. Rachel is very responsible and followed all of my many instructions! Thanks Rachel!!”

“Jessie was great! She came over on short notice for a meet and greet (I believe it was the same day as the request). We have one sweet gentle giant, and one dog that's suspicious of everyone. Jessie was resourceful and even helped with training our troublemaker. I'm a nervous pet parent, so Jessie took lots of pictures and made me feel at ease while away from home. Very thankful for her help last minute!”

“Annika was amazing! She consistently kept us updated and sent a lot of great pictures. Our neighbors got to meet her as well and they had wonderful compliments on her care of our fur baby! We were very pleased!!”

“Raeanne did a great job. At first, I was hesitant about using someone I didn't know, but I am glad we had Rae stay with our dogs. They were happy and calm when we returned home. We weren't sure how our 4 dogs would react because they had never stayed home with anybody else. The only other person who cared for them was a close friend and they stayed at her house. But, we could tell they were well cared for while we were gone. The house was in good shape as well. We will definitely ask Rae again.”

“Destiny took great care of our two dogs in our home while we were on vacation. She communicated well, sent photo and video updates and even cleaned our home and washed the sheets she slept on! We came home to a picture of the dogs and a handwritten note from her. I definitely recommend!”

“My dogs had the pleasure of staying with Chris for a week on very short notice. She stayed in communication with pictures twice a day and my fur babies absolutely had a wonderful time. Thanks Chris for taking great care of my dogs. It was a great first experience.”

“We were very pleased with Maya, she watched our family dog "Happy " on two different occasions while on vacation for a period of a week. She kept us informed on how our dog was doing and also sent us daily pictures. We felt at ease that we could get away with any concerns. Maya seemed to truly enjoys caring for animals. I would highly recommend her for pet sitting.”

“Caroline was great with our dog! She has high energy and can get a little nervous. When we got home she was very content. And the weather was horrible and Caroline made sure our dog got plenty of exercise.”

“Julia took such good care of our pets while we traveled for the holidays! There was some last minute plan changes and she was so patient and kind. Our cat and pup seemed perfectly at ease when we came home and I knew she gave them all the love she could!”

About: I’ve taken care of varying breads, personalities, and sizes of dogs for over 5 years. I don’t currently have any pets of my own, so I would be grateful to take care of yours! I truly love being around animals, and getting some additional time outside through walks is always a bonus for me! I work remotely with flexibility in my schedule so I’m happy to take on last minute needs! I’m happy to host at my house, or stay at yours. My house includes a great neighborhood for walking, and a fenced in back yard. As for weekends, I’m typically available and open to last minute requests as well. I consider myself very detail-oriented and take instructions and safety needs very seriously. For example, I keep a organized binder of notes, phone numbers, and instructions for each pet I care for.

About: I had an Maltese since I was about 4 years young. He died at the age of 15 or 16 years old. My family took care of him until the very end. I also have a puppy with my parents again named Shylo Esch. He is a berniedoodle and just turned 1 in June. I have attended puppy class with him regularly at Manners N' More in Bellefonte, PA. I'm currently working Part-Time on Sunday's at Insomnia Cookies. I also have Part-time classes on Monday-Wednesday. I also regularly take my doggie, Shylo Esch, on walks and outside play time everyday. My baby dog, Shylo Esch, has been spoiled by my parents with many toys and treats. He is treat motivated from puppy training class he attended & graduated from. I trust him to be off the leash outside and he trusts me to let him play and roam freely. I also do leash him for outdoor walks and meeting other dogs. However his bestfriends, Lola & Mocha, and sister, Maisie, are the only dogs so far we let play time off leash together. I am very caring for dogs and I also am trained by puppy training class on how to do obedience and tricks. This was from Manners N' More in Bellefonte, PA. I hold myself to a very strong work ethic and compassionate stance when dealing with fur babies and elderly dogs.

“Damien did a great job pet/house sitting for us for a whole week. Took care of our dog and two cats. He was very responsive and sent lots of pictures. He kept the house super clean. Pets were well loved. Will happily keep Damien on our regulars list!”

“Mykhala is super trustworthy and responsible and amazing with all animals. I would highly recommend anyone have her as a pet sitter!! She’s so great!”

“Mark will be your best and only pet sitter. He’s very easy to talk to, truly cares for pets and genuinely enjoys hanging out with your cat, dog or other friendly animals.”

About: Hi, my name is Erika! I have always had dogs since I was a little girl. Mostly large breeds like akitas and Rottweilers to pitbull and boxers, but we also had a min pin named junior. I’m more a dog-person, but I love all animals. I went through the puppy school & the training process with my dog Remy after rescuing her from a shelter in south Florida 7yrs ago, but I unfortunately had to leave her in Boston with family when I moved to PA and miss her so much :( So I have all this love to give to all the babies!! Lol. I also helped bathe the dogs occasionally at my friends mom’s grooming shop. I currently work FT 8-4:30 M-F so if your baby needs an evening walk or to be let out, fed, etc. during the week I’m your girl! Weekends I’m available for pet sitting. Willing to work with client needs as far as hygiene (bathing/nails/teeth) depending on the dog behavior & schedule flexibility. Pets are family in my home! But of course I would follow whatever rules you have set for your babies in your home! Let me know if there are any special needs, medications, feeding schedules that I should follow to give your fur baby the best care that I possibly can!

“Lexi did a very good job of caring for our for babies! We asked her to do several extra things and she did so willingly and did a very good job. I would highly recommend Lexi for pet sitting your for babies!”

“Barbara has been out vacation pet sitter for years! She's so amazing and gentle with the animals, makes sure they are all played out and fed and clean”
