Pet Boarding Howard

About: An LPN by trade, I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. Since I was a little girl, dogs and cats have held a special place in my heart, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. Anyone who knows me personally knows how deeply I love animals and how important they are to me. My own dogs are truly part of my family—they’re my babies—and I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pets in someone else’s care. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats, and family members regularly rely on me to watch and board their beloved pets when they travel. I enjoy spending time with animals, whether that’s going for daily walks, playing, providing companionship, or simply making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. When your pet is in my care, I will treat them as if they were my own. My goal is to provide a loving, dependable, and stress-free experience for both you and your furry family member, so you can have peace of mind knowing they are receiving plenty of attention, affection, and care. As a nurse who is currently taking a break from my career, I have the time and flexibility to provide attentive, consistent care throughout the day. My mornings start with potty breaks, breakfast, and plenty of love and attention for the pets in my care. After a relaxing coffee break, we head out for a daily walk, with the distance tailored to each pet’s age, energy level, and abilities—anywhere from a leisurely stroll to a 1–3 mile adventure. The rest of the day includes playtime, cuddles, companionship, and ensuring your pet feels comfortable and secure. I understand how much pet parents miss their furry family members, so I’m happy to send photos and videos to keep you updated and give you peace of mind. Afternoons are typically a time for rest and relaxation, followed by supper and another walk in the evening if needed. Because I am home throughout the day, your pet will receive plenty of attention, supervision, exercise, and affection. My goal is to make their stay feel as comfortable, safe, and loving as possible—just like they are part of my own family. Whether caring for your pet in my home or yours, their safety and comfort are always my top priorities. While we do not have a fenced yard, I am committed to responsible pet care and will always use a leash when outdoors—without exception. I understand that pets are cherished family members, and I take every precaution to keep them safe. My home is shared with two friendly, low-key dogs who enjoy daily walks, relaxing in the sunshine, and plenty of couch cuddles. They are accustomed to being around other pets and help create a calm, welcoming environment. Whether your pet enjoys activity and adventure or prefers quiet companionship and affection, I will do my best to make them feel comfortable, loved, and right at home.

“Alex did a great job with our energetic, 2.5 year old GSD. He kept us updated everyday and our pup loved her time with him. She happily greeted us and then promptly knocked out soon after we got back on the road haha. No question your pup will be in good hands with Alex.”

Arelli W.

“Megan is the ultimate dog person! We used Rover to board our dog, Charlotte, for a week long stay. I had never left my pup for that long and was a little anxious about her for that length of time. That’s why I chose someone I knew off of Rover. Charlotte and I had a play date with Megan and her pups previously so I knew that she would be in good company. Megan kept me updated with pictures of the fun they were having and was only a message away if I got nervous. If she can put up with my rambunctious lil one, she will take the very best care of yours!”

Amy C.

“Emily and her family were amazing. She sent a lot of photos and responded very quickly. George had an awesome time and I will definitely be rebooking for the future!”

“We loved Cassandra! She kept us well informed of Ginger's stay while we were away. She told us each time Ginger was administered her seizure medication which was so helpful in making me at ease. She took her for playtime and we could tell she treated her like she was her own! Our plans changed a bit and Cassandra was bery accommodating! Highly recommend!”

“Terri was awesome with my Bella. She was very loving and kind and Bella looked like she was very comfortable. I will definitely consider her again when in the area.”
