Pet Sitting Howe

“Courtney was great! She was responsive and we knew our cats were in great hands while we were away. Really appreciated the meet up before confirming her visits. Would definitely ask for her help again in the future and highly recommend!”

“Abigail was great with my cat Pinecone! She took the time to find him and play with him during every visit. I get nervous about leaving him for longer trips, but I felt so confident in Abigail’s ability to provide amazing care for him!”

“Jackson was great! He showed up on time each day for a week, which was truly appreciated as I booked last minute. He updated me with a few pics and additional detail beyond the basic report card. For example, he checked in via message on day 1 to confirm my dog's mood and poop quality were as expected. My little buddy has some separation anxiety that sometimes causes runny stools and submissive posture. By day 2 my dog was already adjusted and he looked comfortable in the rest of the photos that Jackson sent throughout the week. Recommend 💯!”

“Sally is always quick to respond, professional, and treats my pup like her own. It’s a great feeling to find someone you can trust with your pet. I would 100 percent recommend to anyone looking for pet services.”

About: I have had a dog (yellow lab) since I was in sixth grade, and I have taken care of coworker’s pets on occasion. I now have a rescue pitbull I love dearly. I can walk and play and sit with your pet to make sure they feel loved and have fun. I am currently out of school for the summer and I have a very flexible schedule, and I would love to come hang out with your pets! I like to hang out with animals and make them feel comfortable; I have a nice large fenced in backyard, and I have a car that I can take your pet in, if they like going in the car. I am used to giving a dog two walks a day, in the morning and evening.

“Lilah was respectful of my home & took great care of Greta. Would hire again! Thanks Lilah!”

About: I am always happy to help out with my friends or neighborhood animals. I love all the cuddles and licks when I visit. I even help the lost ones that find their way to our door. I am self-employed and throughout the week go to meetings that can last 90 minutes. I am usually not gone any longer than a total of 6 hours. I am able to set my own schedule, so I can be flexible when housesitting. If I am boarding there is always an adult home to care for a pet. I like to walk, exercise, and play with pets. I go to local dog parks at least 2x/week with my own dogs. I also enjoy the snuggles pets are willing to give. I base my care off of what an owner likes and does, as well as what the pet is open to.

About: Hi! I’m Gabriela, a bilingual (English/Spanish) pet lover who believes every pet deserves patience, kindness, and individualized care. As a mental health professional, I’m naturally calm, reliable, and attentive to routines and behavior. I have over 3 years of hands-on experience caring for my own cat, Muffin, including giving oral medication, brushing his coat, cleaning his ears, using waterless grooming products, maintaining a clean litter box, and recognizing changes in his health or behavior. I’m also comfortable following feeding routines and providing photo updates during and/or after every visit. Whether your pet enjoys playtime, quiet companionship, or simply sticking to their daily routine, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I currently work part-time, which allows me to offer reliable drop-in visits during the afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I understand how important it is to keep pets on their regular routine, and I’ll always do my best to provide dependable, consistent care. I’ll communicate clearly and send photo updates during and/or after every visit so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I respect every home as if it were my own and carefully follow each pet parent’s instructions. I’ll make sure your pet has fresh food and water, a clean space, exercise or playtime if requested, and plenty of love and attention. I’m detail-oriented, dependable, and committed to keeping your pet safe, comfortable, and on their usual routine during every visit.

About: I’ve never known life without animals. Growing up in what our neighbors called the “Dr. Doolittle house” meant there was always a furry friend (or a few!) to care for. It taught me that every pet deserves patience, love, and individualized care. Whether your pet wants to play, explore, or simply snuggle on the couch, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home until you return 😊 Pet care is already part of my everyday routine! I work from home most days, and when I do go into the office, it’s typically only for a few hours. I have two dogs of my own, so I’m used to consistent schedule of walks, feeding, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of love and attention. I’ll make sure your furry friend gets the same reliable care and sticks to their normal routine while you’re away. Every pet is different so I always take the time to learn their routine, personality, and preferences. Whether I’m stopping by for a potty break, taking them on a walk, or staying overnight, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, exercise, and care while sticking as closely as possible to their normal schedule. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and happy while giving you the peace of mind that they’re in good hands!

“We couldn't have asked for a better sitter for our cats! Ruby sent the cutest pictures after each visit. It was so reassuring knowing the boys were getting real attention scratches, playtime, and love while we were out of town.”

Kyle K.

“Ava was really amazing. She was very professional, and above all she was very thoughtful, kind and caring with our senior with special needs dog. She met with us prior to our scheduled drop ins so she was familiar with Cole’s needs and routines. She was an exceptional communicator, sending pictures and updating us with how things were going, and very understanding with our shy senior dog. We would highly recommend her and definitely look forward to using her again!”

Patti W.

“Catherine was awesome and my puppy was able to play and get tired out for a much needed puppy nap 💤”

Marie B.

“Andrew is our go-to sitter! He is consistent, communicates well, and always prioritizes hanging out with our cat. Highly recommend, and will continue to use him!”

About: I've cared for two dogs as I grew up, and look forward to caring for more. I have done many long walks and dog park hiking with my golden doodle, and have also done some training as well. I know how to take care of puppies and adult dogs, but would love to learn how to take care of special needs and senior dogs. Dogs, like mine, are energetic and need lots of exercise, so I am always willing to play or exercise with dogs. Over the summer (June-August), I am free most afternoons and some evenings the whole week. During the school year, (September-May) I am more available during the weekends, but still free during some afternoon/evenings during the week, which I'll update as I get my schedule. At home, I care for my dog by giving him plenty of snuggles, but also getting up and playing with him when he lets me know he wants to play. I am alert and can sense what my dog may need, such as going potty, playing, or eating. When walking/going to the dog park, I watch over my dog at all times, and walk along with him. During walks, I make sure that he is safe to walk and sniff the whole time. At dog parks, I encourage him to meet other dogs and run around while still being present. I notice when my dog gets tired or needs water, and I am prepared by bringing a water bottle.

About: I’m a student at the University of St. Thomas and a lifelong dog lover who would love to spend my free time caring for and walking dogs! Having owned a dog myself, I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust to treat your pet like family. I’m responsible, dependable, active, and will make sure your dog gets plenty of attention, exercise, and love while they’re in my care. I’d love the opportunity to become one of your dog’s favorite walking buddies! I am currently a full time student and working part time. However, I have gaps in my schedule I would love to spend caring for dogs! I have a yard for your dog roam around while being watched. I think it is important to always important to keep an eye on each pup both at my home and client’s houses.

“Ciboney was great with Kylo! She was easy to schedule with and was always on time to check on him. I would highly recommend and will used her again in the future when we go out of town. Thanks again for helping us!”

About: My mother raised me to help any stray or injured animals in our neighborhood. I have been doing so since I was old enough to walk and talk. I have continued this tradition on into adulthood. I have four fur babies of my own at home. I have previous experience caring for a variety of animals including: cats, dogs, mice, rats, reptiles, and fish. I also am confident in my ability to learn on the job and customize care for you and your pet, no matter the species! I have previous experience as a foster and served as a caretaker for a feral cat colony. One of my specialties is socializing feral/stray cats. I also have previous experience with dog walking. I pride myself on meeting animals and their humans where they are. I am patient, soft-spoken, and approach each animal with the care and compassion they need and deserve. I have experience with giving oral/topical medications and am comfortable with learning to apply medication via injection if needed. I understand firsthand just how nerve-wracking it can be to leave your animals. I am more than happy to (and strongly suggest) that I meet with you prior to scheduled care to discuss your needs and to provide peace of mind that your animals are in the best possible care with me as their sitter. I work remotely from home and can be somewhat flexible on my availability. I can always be available any time after 3pm on weekdays and any time of day on weekend. You know your pet best. I will care for your pet as if it were my own and follow and/all instructions that you leave for me. I know time away from your pets can be stressful for both you and them, and I want to help make those worries go away by helping your pet maintain as much of their regular routine as possible.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats including watching multiple animals at once. I have a pet cat Alice who I’ve had for 3 years. I’m currently available anytime throughout the week and weekends except for Wednesday evenings after 5 pm and Sundays before noon. My availability is very flexible! My goal as a pet sitter is to care for your pet just as you do. I know all animals have their own personalities and quirks and I am happy to meet all needs!
