Pet Sitting Howell

About: As a retired professional, I bring reliability, patience, and a calm presence to every walk. I’ve been a dog owner of two large breeds and one small breed. I have hands-on experience with doodle breeds and their unique personalities. I understand the importance of safety and health. I’ve cared for dogs with medical needs, so I’m comfortable with monitoring, medications, and giving extra attention when needed. Whether your dog loves a brisk walk, a gentle stroll, or some extra cuddles along the way, I treat every pup like family because that’s what they are. As a recently retired police officer, I currently work part-time so my hours are flexible and will have plenty of time for your fur babies. I will treat your home as if it were my own. I will safely walk your dog on leash, and can easily crate your dog, if need be.

“Shoshana did a fantastic job watching our cats while we were on vacation. Her daily texts and photos made us relieved that they were in good hands. Some of our cats are shy but they warmed up to Shoshana quickly. Highly recommended!”

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and grew up on a farm, so caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I currently work at a dog daycare, where I regularly handle dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. I’m experienced with feeding routines, playtime, and closely monitoring behavior to keep every dog safe and comfortable. I’ve also administered medications and given insulin shots to dogs, so I’m confident caring for pets with special needs. I treat every pet like my own and always make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for currently work part-time at a dog daycare, so caring for dogs is already a big part of my daily routine. I work mornings on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Sunday, which leaves me available in the afternoons and evenings on those days. I’m also available most weekends, and I’m working toward having an even more flexible schedule soon. I’ll always make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, care, and consistency I prioritize a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet. While I can offer care in my home when needed, I typically prefer caring for pets in their own home where they feel most relaxed and secure. I have experience handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments through my work at a dog daycare, and I always supervise interactions closely and follow each dog’s routine. I’m also comfortable with crating if needed and have experience administering medications, including injections

About: I have several years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, breeds, and personalities. From energetic puppies to senior pets needing extra patience and attention, I provide loving, reliable care tailored to each animal’s needs. I understand how important routines, comfort, and safety are, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m a student at Towson University! All of my classes take place in morning/early afternoon so I am free in afternoons/ evenings. The weekends I am completely free as well! I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment when caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s home. I follow the pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise, and any medication instructions. I make sure the space is clean, secure, and free of hazards, and I never leave pets unattended in unsafe situations. I also maintain open communication with owners by providing regular updates and photos, so they feel confident and reassured while they’re away. Most importantly, I give each pet patience, attention, and affection to ensure they feel comfortable and cared for.

“I completely trust Catherine to take the best care of Luna. Catherine spends time with her, brushes her, and tries to get her to play. (But Luna's a lump and is too lazy to play. 😁) I'll be hiring Catherine again when I go away. She's the best!”

About: Hi! I been an animal lover all my life. I have experience to senior dogs to energetic puppies! I’ve always been the go-to person for friends and family when they need someone to spend time with their pets, take them for walks, or make sure they’re happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I would be so thrilled to help you with any visits and walks your pet might need🐾 I am available Monday thru Sunday between 6am to 8pm (summer time). If you need later than 8 pm, I am flexible depending on the day. I treat every pet as if they were my own. I am patient, attentive, and committed to following your pet’s routine to keep them happy and comfortable. I understand that leaving your pet can be stressful, so I’ll provide plenty of communication and updates while you’re away. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet have a positive, worry-free experience. 🐾

“I am so thankful and appreciative for the care Mary and Ginny provided to my two cats. This was the first time we needed to find care for them and I couldn’t have been happier with finding Mary and Ginny. They made me feel completely at ease with leaving them behind and I know that they loved them the same way we do. One of our cats needs medicine and it felt like such an inconvenience to ask someone to take on that responsibility, but Ginny and Mary made me feel so much better about the situation and I am so thankful to them for that. Thank you again Ginny and Mary. It meant the world to me to know they were okay while we were gone 💕”

About: I’ve had dogs in my life since day one! I grew up with four huskies throughout my lifetime, more recently a lab, and now I’m a cat mom. I love animals so much and feel strongly about loving and protecting them. I have experience caring for both young and older pets. I am also an active person and love to exercise myself and the dog! I work fully from home with occasional travel so I am always looking for ways to get outside and get some movement in. I am home most of the day/week besides the occasional errands and trip to the gym. Ample time for pet care and activities! When I am with your pet, they will be the number one priority! I will make sure they are safe, happy, and always fed/hydrated. Unlimited pets and good boy/girl at all times.

About: I am a undergraduate pre-vet student who currently works part time as a vet assistant at an emergency/specialty veterinary hospital, so trust me when I say there’s not a single day I’m not surrounded by furry friends. On my off days, you’ll find me volunteering with local shelters near my university or my hometown during summer breaks! I care for all animals as if they were my own and I truly find joy in spending time with them. I am very flexible fitting to your pets needs and I am comfortable administering medications if necessary. I love to send picture updates as well :) I am currently working part-time at a veterinary emergency/specialty hospital on Sundays and Mondays (8-7) but I am flexible throughout the week around those days! I highly emphasize a safe and stress-free experience for your pet and work patiently to help nervous or anxious animals feel as comfortable as possible.

“Averi was the best!!!! We were away during a power outage and she knew all the ways to help my pup stay cool, calm and loved. We are so thankful! Hope to use her again!”

“Madison was beyond phenomenal!!! She made me feel at ease every step of the way. Her communication with me was exactly what I needed to make me feel at ease leaving my new rescue kitty in her care. I can not recommend her enough! Will definitely be using her for every trip I have. My cat loved her as well!! She is so kind and caring and took care of my baby like he was her own. If I could give her a million stars I would!!”

“Maeghan was so wonderful with our pups Checkers and Ava! She arrived on time and provided top notch care during her visit. She communicated all aspects of the visit to us and kindly provided photos. Maeghan is professional and we felt very safe with our dogs in her care. Highly recommended!”

About: I’m Alexandra and I’m a university student with a love for animals! I have experience with two large dogs of my own (a Great Pyrenees and an Australian Shepard) as well as general small animal care (guinea pigs, hedgehogs, and fish). I also have experience with administering medication and caring for recovering pups. I will send updates during my visits and will ensure your pet is comfortable and happy! Feel free to reach out with questions :) Currently I work part-time on the weekdays and will be available after 2pm. During the weekends I typically have full availability and can do multiple visits. I have been around many animals, small and large, and will do my best to accommodate any specific needs you require. I am comfortable helping crate your dog properly after visits.

About: I have had 2 dogs growing up. One large German Shepherd and one small Cockapoo. I have also taken care of my family and friends dogs when on vacation, ranging from tiny Chihuahuas to medium Labs. I love dogs and love to take them on long walks I currently work part time so I have lots of time to go on walks. I am a big runner and have done half marathons. I love to run with dogs and take them out for miles. I can pick them up and take them around anywhere near the area. I know how to hold back a strong dog and keep them from going where they shouldn’t.

“Mia really went above and beyond to make sure my fur babies were well cared for and sent me lots of videos, photos, and positive commentaries on how they were doing. I will definitely be booking Mia for all my petsitting needs!”

“Jules is the absolute best cat sitter! She goes above and beyond and our boys legitimately love her, like maybe more than me haha as evidenced by the amazing photos she takes of how happy they are to see her every time she comes over!”

About: I love all types of dogs, and am the type of person who can't pass a dog in the street without stopping to say hi and give him/her a pet. I have a dog of my own, Mia, a 7 year old German Shepherd mix. I love her, but she's a handful, so I have experience with dogs who might need a little extra attention and care. I'm a teacher and off for the summer so I have plenty of time during the week (and on some weekends) to walk your pup. Unfortunately, my dog is not the most friendly to others so I cannot host your dog in my home. We'll have fun being out and about though!

About: Hi! I’ve been dog sitting for about 7 years and have experience with pups as young as 4 months all the way up to senior dogs. I honestly love them all, but puppies are my favorite because of their energy, and I also love a good cuddle with an older dog. I’m comfortable with all breeds and personalities, and I always try to match whatever routine your dog is used to so they feel happy and comfortable while you’re away. Whether that’s walks, trips to the dog park, or just hanging out at home, I’m happy to do it all. I can also administer medication if needed, and I know the cheese trick very well so giving pills is usually quick and stress-free. I recently moved to the area and am currently rebuilding my client base, so I’m very flexible and can often accommodate last-minute bookings. I’m a local college student who is home for the summer, so I have a pretty flexible schedule. Pet care fits easily into my routine, and I plan my days around the pets I’m taking care of. On days I have work, I’m still able to stop by before and after, and on my off days I have even more availability for walks, visits, or overnight care. I always make sure to follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and stress-free. This includes feeding, walks, playtime, and any specific care instructions you provide. I 100% respect the environment I’m in and the boundaries I’m given. I treat your home like it’s my own and always leave it exactly how I found it, with the exception of a toy or two left out from playtime! My goal is to keep your pets happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.
