Availability

I work remotely and have my own dog, so my routine is already pretty centered around the life of a dog parent. I usually have 1 to 2 meetings a day but am otherwise available for a quick walk or bathroom break out back if needed. A post work walk through the neighborhood is a daily occurrence!

I have a fenced in yard and live in a dog friendly neighborhood to go on walks. I also have an 11 year old blue heeler who is friendly with other dogs and can keep your pup company.

Information Howard B. would like to know about your pet

My dog is very friendly and gets along with most dogs. She doesn’t have any particular needs, though she is getting old so we usually try to keep her play limited if possible.

A typical day

I start the morning bringing my dog out to the backyard and play with her while enjoying my morning coffee. When work allows I also like to take her for a lunch break walk around the block and after work is over we always do a longer walk through the neighborhood. In the evenings we’ll do indoor play with toys or if the weather is nice sometimes play in the backyard.

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Howard and I work remote full time so I'm always home and around to take care of your pup! I have a fenced in back yard, but do live on the second floor of a duplex, so going up and down stairs is necessary in order to get to and from the yard. I also have a great neighborhood for going on walks and usually take my own pup on 2/day - I have an 11 year old blue heeler who gets along with almost every dog, but if possible it would be nice to have an introduction with her before dog sitting. Just shoot me a message and we can try and set one up.

Howard is very flexible and always loving to my pup. He is able to take her on walks with his sweet dog and I get pictures showing me how happy she is!

Howard made it easy by facilitating a meet and greet before the visit to make sure my dog was comfortable. He sent pictures and updates during her stay and I know my pup had a happy visit and came home tired.

Howard did such a great job with my dog. I got a handful of updates about how he was doing, which calmed my nerves!
