Highlights
Pet care experience
Here to pamper your fur-babies!
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!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
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!
Zeke had a great time with Howard, Linda, and Truman! He enjoyed hanging out and we’re looking forward to our next visit.
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!
Great communication and have a great patience with my 15 years old Butter.
Howard was attentive, great at taking direction and had great judgment in dealing with my complicated senior dog. 10/10 will rehire!

Schedule
My wife and I work remote jobs so one or both of us will be at home to keep your pet company and take them out for walks and potty breaks.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Our home is fully dog proofed and ready to accommodate dogs under 40 pounds. We keep dogs leashed at all times when outside of our home unless we have a specific request from the owner to take the dog to an off-leash area.
Pets
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.
