Top rated Howard house sitters
“Erin was great! It was our first time having someone watch our dog but Erin quickly put our nerves at ease with a pre visit meet & greet. Communication was thorough and she kept me updated (with photos) of our pet during her stay. Would highly recommend, and would utilize her services again in the future!”

“Cami was nothing short of great! She was very familiar with the process of overnight sitting, had great communication and was awesome with my dog. She even sent some bonus pictures of them hanging out and having a good time.”

“I selfishly hesitate to leave a review when I find such a fantastic dog sitter - because I don't want everyone else to steal them from me. :) Our 13 year old Beagle loved his time with Noah. He took great care of him, was very professional and detail oriented and kept us updated while we were gone. He even cleaned up after himself - including doing the laundry and dishes - which was above and beyond. Highly recommend him!”

“Angie is a gem! She took amazingly good care of my pup and was attentive to the needs of dog and home. I can only give the highest of praise for Angie as a sitter. Also sent photos every day and kept me informed at all times. Will definitely be hiring again in the future. Thanks Angie!”

“Eleanor is absolutely amazing with sitting. She stayed two nights and everything went beautifully. My animals absolutely LOVE her. She also made me feel so comfortable, with lots of photos and videos. I am looking forward to hiring her again. I HIGHLY recommend her!”

“Tina did an amazing job! Our dogs loved hanging out with her! It was the first time we had anyone stay overnight with them and she completely put our minds at ease . She’s reliable, trustworthy, very knowledgeable, and loves your animals like her own. She’s prompt (even started early), sent lots of photos, great communication, and she did excellent with our anxious gal. We’ll definitely be in touch, for future visits!”

“We were so happy with Ava as our dog sitter! She kept the house spotless, checked in regularly, and sent the sweetest pictures of the boys while we were away. Most importantly, they were calm and happy when we got home — a true sign they were well cared for. Highly recommend!”

“Kerstyn was amazing! She sent us photos, videos and updates daily of our yorkies. She enjoyed snuggling, playing and taking them for walks. We really appreciated the communication and care for our dogs and would highly recommend and use her again when we go out of town. Thanks again!!”

“One of the things that I will miss about moving from San Diego is being able to have Samantha watch Savannah for me. She would send pictures and text messages to keep me updated on how things were going. I whole heartedly recommend her!!!”


“Kaitlyn was our first booking through Rover, so of course this was our first experience with Kaitlyn. We most definitely would book with her again. She is a very pleasant, responsible, trustworthy person. She was easy to keep in touch with during the time she stayed with our dog, Stan, and communication beforehand was likewise easy. She gave him his pills with no issues, contacted me when he started scratching his ears, and the cleaned his ears. We like Kaitlyn very much.”

“Seriously the best sitter we have had in quite a while. She watched our two rescues (who can be a handful) and she was prompt, sent lots of updates, and tired our dogs out. Couldn’t have asked for more, totally recommend!”

“Macy was amazing! She was so thorough, wonderful with communication, and took great care of our two pups! We are so thankful for her kindness and care. I would highly recommend Macy, and we will definitely reach out to her again! Thank you, Macy!”

About: I have cared for many pets big and small and some strange to others. Personally I have owned rats, birds, a bunny, a dog, and now a cat! I always reseach extensively on how to care for a specific pet to make sure to give them the best life possible and make sure everything is good with vet care. At this moment i only work part time as a face painter for parties and babysit one of my nieces for my sister during some days but on the days i am free it can get rather boring. So I am hoping to care for some furry friends and fill my days! I will be asking alot of questions and like to know if your pet has a schedule they like to follow. I would hate to stress them out with more as a change of schedule plus a stranger in their home could be scary for them. I am also very respectful of boundaries your pet may have and am more understanding if a pet gets sick or scratches me due to personal space issues.
About: I'm a 26yo who has owned cats and dogs my entire life. Currently, I'm the parent of a very energetic husky and 2 cats. I am very active and athletic, so keeping up with a dog's energy is second nature. I love taking my pup for runs, walks, swims, and play time at the dog park. He loves to play with other dogs and can be a playmate if you wanted. I have over 20 years experience in personally caring for animals: including feeding, changing litter boxes, play time, cleaning messes, administration first aid and medications, IV injections, and keeping an eye for unusual behavior. I am caring for an animal every day of the week. I can fit in a lot given my flexible work schedule and ability to travel. Everyone has different standards for pet care, and I am open to adapting and curating care based on individuals and pet needs. I can be a great service in keeping your pet active when needed, and to help keep them calm when necessary. I know socializing and connecting are a huge need to properly care for animals, so as an animal lover I always try to find a connection with the animals I care for
About: I was born into a dog family and have been exposed to animals of all sorts starting at a very young age. I have had five dogs in my life. The one that meant the most to me was the one I raised myself. Her name was angel and I started raising her when I was only eight years old. My aunt had a litter of puppies and was giving them away to family and friends, I had gotten an Angel and since then she had been my best friend. Unfortunately, she passed away when I was 19 years old due to breast cancer, but she was my responsibility throughout her lifetime. I had only gotten her when she was a few weeks old, and I had the patience and caring heart to take care of her until the day that she passed. I also had a German Shepherd, a black lab, a pitbull /basset hound mix, and a pitbull who only had three legs. Each one of these animals has had a big impact on my life. I have also had many experiences taken care of other animals besides dogs and cats, including, not limited to snakes, wildlife, fish, hamsters, gerbils, birds, etc. I take special care to each animal that is in my responsibility because I believe that each animal should have their own individual cares met, as well as their own happiness and satisfaction met in life. I work full time as a Team Lead at Paragon Community Services. I work 8am-4pm Monday-Friday with no weekends or holidays. I am available on weekends and holidays unless I am scheduled as unavailable. I am also open to evening services after work :) I will always follow the owners instructions as that is my main priority. Any directions given to me will be well followed! I know crate training, walking on leashes, how to operate bark collars, really anything you will use for your pet and if I don’t I am always able to learn!
“Madyson stayed with our 3 dogs overnight and took really good care of them. They were all happy and relaxed when we got back home from our trip which is typically not the case when they go to the boarders.”

About: I have always had a dog while growing up and love them. I have multiple years of experience watching both dogs and cats. I have a flexible schedule that can work for you! I am currently self-employed with a flexible schedule. I can make almost anything work with enough notice. My goal is to do what is best for you and your pet. I plan to care for your pets like they are my own. I also will make sure to take care of your house like it is my own!
