Howl Hut Dog Services

Pet care experience

Howl Hut is a brand new pet sitting service catering to WNY. Becky is 27 years of age and has eight years of pet care experience, such as; doggy daycare manager, head trainer, bather, grooming assistant, kennel attendant, etc. She is located in Tonawnada and accepts dogs of all shapes and sizes into her home. Her husband being 29 years of age and also having years of pet care experience as well. MEET-N-GREETS ALWAYS REQUIRED Doggy Daycare Daycare is hosted at my house. Remember we have two dogs and a child, so a Meet-n-Greet will be necessary if your dog is to be regular. This meet-n-greet will take place in my backyard, without the owner present so we can get an idea of how they'd react while alone. Daycare includes one daily photo, breakfast, lunch and dinner if necessary and some play time in our backyard or a walk (with a variety of equipment for safety). Dogs are allowed to have accidents since I have hardwood floors, but if the dog is sick it will need to either be picked up or dropped off at your house. Sick includes: vomiting, diarrhea, and coughing. I have CBD treats for anxiety, and treats to give the dog to make them more comfortable. If a regular, they will have to do well with all the other dogs in daycare and a part of my home environment. If they show any signs of aggression, they'll be denied. The puppy fee is $50 due to the amount of accidents they'll most likely have. Hours of operation: 7am-7pm If you need an early drop off or late pick up, it is $5 for every 15 minutes late or early. Dog Boarding We used to specialize in house sitting, but since having our firstborn, we much prefer having the dogs come to us! This way if they make a mess, it is in our home and is our responsibility to find the mess and clean it. We can keep an eye on them 24/7 since this is where we live, and are comfortable with the area. There is an emergency pet clinic less than a mile away, and we couldn't be closer to Ellicott Creek Park where we can take your dogs on nice, long, enjoyable walks. You don't have to pay extra for daily walks, but we do have add-ons such as training sessions, bye-bye baths, nail clippings, ear cleanings, teeth brushings, etc. Meet-n-Greets are REQUIRED before dog boarding or house sitting. Hours of operation: 7am-7pm If you need an early drop off or late pick up, it is $5 for every 15 minutes late or early. House Sitting We DO still house sit, but I would much much much rather prefer them over my house. If you do insist on house sitting, it's still $40/night, but we may not be able to sleep over the house due to responsibilities as parents. I would recommend crate training AND investing in security cameras for house sitting, that way we can lock up the house and be satisfied knowing there are cameras for any emergencies like break ins or fires, and you know your dog is safe, and not able to be destructive, eat any undesirables, or have any accidents outside of the crate. Dog Boarding: $40.00 a night ($20 fee for more than one dog) Drop-In's: Drop-In visit's are nice when you are going out for the day and you need someone to let the dog/'s out, give them food, and let them go potty outside. It's a 30 minute session with them doing whatever you would like us to do! Give them TLC, take them for a walk, play with them, whatever your heart desires! MEET-N-GREETS ALWAYS REQUIRED $20/per drop-in Walking: We provide dog walking. We can drive up to twenty miles from our location. It costs one dollar for each driving mile, there and back. If you live 7 miles from our location, it'll cost you $14 for the walk which is a standard 30 minutes. If you would like an hour walk we do provide that but it would cost twice as much. Walking: $1/mile - 30 minutes $2/mile - 1 hr Transport: We provide transport as well. If you're a breeder, someone who needs to get their dog to the vet, groomer, daycare, etc and can't because you need to get to work, we provide the convenience of transporting for you. Pickup and or drop-off. Just like it is for walking, it's $1/mile.

Becky was fantastic! My wife and I took a weekend trip to NYC and when our flight got cancelled due to the poor weather and we couldn’t get out until the next day, Becky was so accommodating. The only thing she cared about was our safety and made sure our dog Ralph was cared for. I also think Ralph made a new best friend with her Golden Retriever!

Becky is great! She is very professional in finding out about the pets she is sitting. I was very comfortable leaving my boys with her for an extended stay. She was very attentive to their behavior and needs. They were well taken care of.

Our dogs just love Miss Becky! She let us know when she arrived, what she was doing, sent pictures and video and let us know when she was leaving. Already booked her for 2 extended stays!

Becky (and her partner, Zach) did a fantastic job watching my two babies. They spent a long weekend in my home while feeding, walking, and playing with Violet, a ten year old silky, and Luca, a seven month old morkie. They sent detailed, regular updates with lots of photos, all of which eased my mind while out of town. My house was left clean and in order, and I was even given a printed, adorable and hilarious profile with photo of each of my dogs. I highly recommend Becky!

Information Becky F. would like to know about your pet

MEET-n-GREETS ALWAYS required. I've learned through many years that dogs are not all the same. They're just like children; some are shy, some have anxiety, some are dog aggressive, fear aggressive, some resource guard, etc. So I will need to evaluate for all these things. Not that any of this will deter the stay, but it will give me the information I need in order to care for them properly.

A typical day

It definitely depends on what they like to do. My Golden Retriever loves to play fetch, along with my Australian Shepherd. My Golden loves to play with other dogs, so that's a definite possibility. Running, going for walks, or even doing some obedience sessions. I have puzzle toys galore, kongs, marrow bones, etc. It's all up to the dog!
