“Our dog had a wonderful visit with Barbara and Dirk. They have a great setup for dogs, are friendly, and are good communicators. They even put up with us being later than expected on pickup. We’ll definitely use them again.”
“Our fur babies had the best care at Kelly and Brandon's home! They are the kindest, caring, most loving family. Kelly sent daily pictures and updates that put me at peace knowing that they were having the time of their life playing with Arvon or relaxing. Definitely home away from home💕🐾 Thank you again for your exceptional care!”
About: I have always loved animals and had pets my entire life. Currently have a dalmatian that loves to play and could use a friend to help them both burn energy. I work from home and would love to give my dalmatian, Bennie Mae, a walk with a new friend! Also, my schedule is very flexible. We have a dog-proof home with plenty of space to run and play. Nearby park with room to roam outside. Wonderful neighborhood to go on walks.
“Absolutely incredible!!! Took such good care of our pup while we were away. Kept us updated on how he was doing with lots of pictures. Was such a great experience and made us feel comfortable leaving our pup. We will definitely be using them again to watch Melo!”
“Linda is so great with our Ollie! He loves going to her house for all the walks, love and attention she gives him. We certainly appreciate all the communication and pics so we can see how well he’s doing while we’re gone.”
About: I’ve had animals my whole life. I grew up on a dairy goat farm. All sorts of dogs, horses, cats, cows, goats, etc. I have had Chihuahuas all the way through German Shepherds. Puppy age all the way through their whole lives. I am the biggest animal (especially dog) lover! I love meeting new personalities. I would spend 24/7 lounging around with my dogs & cats if I could!🩷 I currently have a 16 year old Minature Schnauzer, and an under 1 year old Goldendoodle. My old girl currently takes quite a few medications and likes her alone time. My little man loves to play, be active, and requires hands on often. Therefore, I work with a spectrum of needs. I will make sure your baby has all the play time (or alone/rest time) they need!🩷 I am a professional MMA fighter & bar tend on the weekends! Most of my job consists of being at the gym just a couple hours at a time. And I live 5 minutes away from where I train! It makes spending time with & caring for pets easy and frequent. I only bar tend two days on the weekend (and my boyfriend is home most of that time too 😁 ) Home visits 🏡: In my client’s homes, I can easily care for your pets however you need. I will play games with your furry friends, lounge around with them, etc. I am a very active person & love taking long walks myself, so I would love to do that with your dog if you’d like! I am a reliable, very detail oriented gal. Whatever instructions you leave, I’ll get them done. I love when my clients can come back to a clean, comfortable space after caring for their fur babies. Boarding 🐶: I have a fenced in back yard on a quieter side street. We have an older Miniature Schnauzer, under 1 year old Goldendoodle, and two gentle, quiet cats that lounge around (pretty much keeping to themselves) 🩷 I have plenty of space in my living area to have the zoomies. I have a spare room to give your pet some rest and seclusion too! That means I also have ample room to crate your doggie, if needed. We would love to have your best friend come hang with us 🙂
“Mandy was fantastic!! I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great dog sitter. She was very communicative and provided pictures and updates daily! Our Maggie was so happy and loved while we were away!”
“Deana and her husband took wonderful care of our dog while we were away! They kept us updated with pictures and messages throughout her stay and made her feel at home. We were grateful to find such a wonderful host for our aging dog!”
“Katie & Kristen and their family were amazing with my buddy, Pops! He felt so at home the second Katie opened the door for drop-off. I can't recommend them enough for taking care of your furry friend ❤️❤️”
“Teresa is the best!! She treated my dog as if she were her own and took such good care of her. Multiple walks per day, plenty of love, and lots of photos and updates throughout my trip! So grateful to have found her!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter. Kristi and her family took amazing care of our pup while we were out of town. They were very accommodating and communicative. We received updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. Our dog came home happy, well exercised, and clearly well loved. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter! We will definitely be using them again.”
“If I could give Kristin more than 5 stars, I would! She has watched my Pearl a couple of times before and always does a fantastic job of taking care of my pup and keeping me posted with pics and great communication. Pearl loves playing with Kristin’s dog Willow and always comes home a sleepy pup after having so much fun at her house. She is always my first choice for day care and dog sitting! Thank you Kristin and Willow!!”
“Rachel was absolutely amazing! She sent daily photo updates and kept us informed about everything Koda was up to, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was obvious from the pictures that Koda was having the best time. Rachel was so present with her and took her on lots of fun adventures. She was very accommodating and a great communicator throughout the stay. We had a wonderful experience and would definitely recommend Rachel to anyone looking for a reliable Rover sitter!”
“JoAnn was great! Our boy came back worn out from playing with her family and the other dogs. She sent a bunch of pictures which we appreciated. He was so active he didn’t even seek treats which is quite an accomplishment!”
“Reneé was great with Lily for a short overnight stay! She took lots of cute photos of her. She even squeezed in a quick walk before our pickup time. Lily will be back!”
About: I had three rescue dogs of my own, two have since passed but we have taken my MILs dog since her passing so we have two dogs currently and three cats! I love animals and have been caring for them since I was a child growing up and always having a pet to care for made me very dependable and well mannered when it comes to training. I am experienced with animal rehabilitation and am comfortable with all animals but do have two young children in the home. Dogs that stay with us will have a designated heated and cooled space to sleep in. I am home all day during the day, am able to let animals out at any time as I have a large fenced in yard. We have cameras and a covered deck as well for complete safety and security for the animals. I am available for stop in visits, walking or general care. I work from home so am available to care for my children and pets. I have a flexible work schedule and am able to adjust it to meet my needs. I love animals, truly and honestly. I am patient and consistent and will ensure that your pet is cared for, safe and loved while under my care.
“Ryan did an awesome job taking care of my shiba inu while I was out of town for several days! I loved getting daily updates of how my dog was doing and getting pictures of them frequenting local dog parks. Would definitely try to book with Ryan again!”
“Jason and Kristen are so great with our dog Sydney! This weekend was Sydney’s third visit in the last two months. She gets SO excited when we drop her off; which in my mind is such a great indication of how much she loves spending time with them!! They send pictures and respond very quickly whenever I send a message to “check on Sydney”! We couldn’t be happier we found Sydney a home away from home when she’s unable to go with us. Thank you Jason and Kristen for taking such great care of our girl Sydney!!”

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Howell home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Howell.

Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
