Information Howard & Linda C. would like to know about your pet

Please let us know if your dog has any special needs or needs any special accommodations! We can accommodate most health issues and special needs for doggy daycare and drop in visits, however we can only accept dogs with behavioral issues/dog aggression for walks and drop in visits (no daycare).

A typical day

Our goal is to keep all dogs in my care mentally AND physically stimulated. We are firm believers that “a tired dog is a good dog” and can take your fuzzy friend to all sorts of parks, hikes and even the beach! Where we go on the walks will be based on what you prefer.

Pet care experience

Hi there! My name is Howard and I’m a lifelong animal lover and experienced dog owner who is available for walks, doggy daycare and drop in visits for your fuzzy friend. My wife Linda and I have been a dog sitters for many of our friends over the years and have decided to start offering our services on Rover! Dog walking: I have many years of experience walking dogs of all shapes and sizes, ranging from Chihuahuas to Great Pyrenees. Please see our photos for some of the dogs that we have watched/walked over the years! Daycare and Boarding: We live in a single family home with a fenced in yard and would love to help out if you need someone to look after your dog! Your fur baby will spend their time lounging on our couch, sun bathing on the deck and exploring our backyard and neighborhood. We have a very friendly 5 year old male 25 pound Lab-Chihuahua mix of our own named Truman, so our dogs will have to meet at least once before any daycare bookings (not required for drop in visits or walks). Drop in visits: Happy to drop in and visit your pets during the day if you need someone to keep them company and to take them out for a walk! And last but not least: I also offer aquarium maintenance/drop in visits for your fishy friends! I have kept aquariums and all sorts of pet fish for decades and have even served on the Board of Directors for the San Francisco Aquarium Society. Please reach out if you are interested in learning more!

Howard and Linda were easy going and easy to work with. They were responsive and gave daily updates and photos (love the photos). I felt very comfortable with them taking care of Pepper!

Howard, Linda, and Truman made Zeke feel very comfortable in their dog friendly home. Zeke and Truman got along famously. We won’t hesitate to rebook with them!

Howard and Linda took excellent care of our dog while we were out of town. Howard was very thorough and paid attention to all the small details with care. We were happy to receive pictures and updates from their park outings and couch time. Their dog Truman is a sweetheart too. If you are looking for two very friendly and responsible people to look after your pup, they are it!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
