Pet Sitting Howe

“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 💯!”

“Annie was fantastic - responsive and ensured Maeve was doing well while I was away. She even got her to come out of hiding daily - not something everyone has been able to do!”

Amber V.

“Simply the best. Courtney is kind, thoughtful, and meticulous. I could see in the daily photos how much my cat trusted and relaxed with Courtney’s attention. Thank you again!”

About: Pet sitter with over a decade of experience. Formerly an early childcare director, so the safety & well being of your loved ones is my top priority :) I am big on communication and enjoy sending updates, photos and videos while caring for fur babies. I work a very flexible job that allows me to be in and out of the house each day. Communication is paramount for me - prior to beginning services I will get to know you and your pet(s), and we will discuss your priorities and expectations to ensure a positive experience for your fur baby. At this time I am only offering services at clients’ homes. I have several references available for your peace of mind. I enjoy sending multiple detailed updates throughout the day, with pictures or videos as well! Comfortable administering medication and providing puppy, kitten, or senior pet care.

“This was the second time Molly catsat my two cats and it was great. Molly is so sweet and my cats love her! It makes me feel better to know they're in good hands when I'm out of town!”

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.

“Abbey was so great to work with. We had a few hiccups (all on my end!) and she patiently worked through them and was very flexible. Would highly recommend!!”

“I’m so glad we booked Sarah to watch our two cats while we were traveling for a week! It’s clear she loves animals, and she really went above and beyond in caring for ours. Communication was always super quick, she followed all the care instructions, and sent cute rover cards with lots of pictures. She even wrote a card and drew little pictures of our kitties, was very cute to come home to. We will definitely book Sarah to look after our kitties next time we go out of town!”

About: I’ve taken care of and owned dogs since ever since I can remember! I have included a picture of me and the dog that my family adopted when I was 1. We grew up together 🥲 ❤️ Nowadays I have a rescue dog and she is my baby! I also have a lot of experience with dog sitting, dog walking groups of dogs, and taking care of dogs belonging to family, coworkers and friends. I have done a lot of research on dog behavior and body language - dogs communicate with us constantly and we can live happier lives with them if we take the time to learn their language! I want your pet to be well taken care of but also have their boundaries respected and to be loved the way they feel most comfortable with! No two dogs are exactly alike and they have different wants and needs, just like people. 🥰 I also have experience with training dogs. Let me know if you would like me to support you in training or socializing your dog. Lastly, I’ve worked with dogs with high anxiety. With these dogs, it’s important to take things slow , boosting confidence by letting them lead at their own pace and helping to make them feel as secure as possible I work a 9-5 with most holidays and weekends off. If your pup does well alone for a while during the day we would make a great fit with walks and feedings in the morning and evening. If you need care over a holiday or weekend, I have flexibility to take care of dog friends that need less time alone. I have a resident dog who is a sweetheart and gentle girl who can keep your dog company. I will also be able to safely take your dogs on walks, to the park, and crate them while I’m away and at night as needed or if preferred. I can also administer medication, and feed separately from other dogs if your dog is food-reactive. We will always put safety first in every situation of play, rest, feeding, socialization etc.

“Ellen dropped in to check our dog and did a great job! Right on time with up to date communications. Will definitely utilize Ellen’s services again.”

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.

“Sarah was amazing with my cats when I needed a last minute sitter! Gave me wonderful updates everyday and the cutest photos of my cats to make me smile while I was gone. Would definitely recommend her and use her again if I needed in the future.”
