Senior professional who loves dogs

Pet care experience

I have had pets (primarily dogs) all my life. From Jack Russel to Bernese Mountain Dogs and Malamutes, I love all sizes, shapes and energy levels. I am exceptional with puppies and happy to do specific training from housebreaking to leash training and reactivity reduction exercises. I currently have three dogs a Border Collie, German Shephard mix and a Malamute. All very well behaved and socialized. I understand it can be stressful for both pets and parents to have a new face in the house and I would love to give your pups the best experience possible.

Howard was an exceptional dog sitter and highly recommended. He went above and beyond to take exceptional care of our dog.

I have known Howard Jones 6 years now. Howard is a fantastic pack leader. He has a calm personality and understands how to work with dogs of all types. He approaches taking care of pups with a smart and loving disposition. My pups absolutely love the Jones's and I would never think twice about leaving our fur babies with him. I really enjoy how Howard likes to spend so much outdoor time with all the dogs and is not some one who will just lock a pup in a kennel and call it good. In short, you will not find a better human to care for your pups.

Howard J.has a love for animals that goes very deep. He has owned and loved several dogs over the years. Each one of them lived lives full of activities, adventures, love and attention. I would trust him 100% to care for my own animals. They could not be in better hands.

Howard is the definition of dog lover! His dogs were the sweetest and well behaved pups I knew. He will make sure your dog has fun, gets plenty of love and is well taken care of while you are away. You won't have a worry because he also takes their health very seriously. You won't regret adding him to the Rover team.

Information Howard J. would like to know about your pet

Let me know any special needs or issues your pet has. In particular, it is important to know about reactivity, fear biting etc. I dont have personal issues dealing with all but the most aggressive animals

A typical day

Walking, a game of fetch, frisbee or tug are as much fun for me as the pets. I always have balls and treats in my car along with a few leashes.
