Have no fear - Howie is here!

Pet care experience

I’ve actually owned pets since the early 90’s as a child. However, my true pet ownership skills were pressure tested during hurricane Katrina (2005) when I was forced to evacuate with my pets. As any pet parent, I did everything I needed to do to ensure continuity of care for my dogs even during a time of natural disaster. I’ve owned many dogs all my life, mostly small and medium sized dogs but I also have experience per-sitting large dogs, too. After all - all pets need love! I’ve seen my animals go through all stages of life and I also have experience giving my pets their needed prescriptions and even feeding prescription pet food! Whether you need someone to check in on your furry family member or you need them to be taken for a walk, it would be an honor to serve you and your beloved furry family member. I love sending photographic progress updates to my fellow pet parents so they know that their furry ones are in great hands. I recently had two pets that crossed the rainbow bridge this year due to age and related issues. Therefore I do not have pets at present but I’m very familiar with the care of pets.

Safety, trust & environment

If you want me to do a check in or take your pet for a walk - I request that you provide instructions that are clear and easy to follow so I can give you and your pets the best service and care deserved. Out of consideration and safety for your pets, I will never bring my own pet treats unless I confirm with ahead of time to be observant of the nutritional variables for each pet. I request that your pets are current and up to date with their immunizations for both my safety and theirs.

Information Howie N. would like to know about your pet

You should give me a heads up if there are any behavior traits about your pet I should be aware of. Please let me know specifically what you’d like me to accomplish on your pet drop in visit. Whether you want me to feed your pet or simply check on them - let me know. I want to make this a fun experience for you as the pet parent and the pet. I am happy to coordinate a “meet and greet” virtually and/or in person to make sure we are a good fit. If we’re not a good fit- that’s okay! My feelings won’t be hurt. Your pets are your world and I want you to feel confident that I’m a good fit. If your pet has medical issues I should be aware of, please let me know.

A typical day

I love to give belly rubs and I love to “talk” to the pets if they are in the mood. If the pet parent allows, I enjoy bringing a treat but I will never do so unless I have pet parent approval because I know even a seemingly innocent treat can be harmful to some pets. I enjoy being a pets friend!

Availability

I work full time for a healthcare company and I’m also a full time student almost done with my MBA in healthcare business. Typically I’m available most evenings after 4:30pm during the work week and weekends are much more open. I will always make sure my schedule availability is updated so that you know if I have a time slot available. I love communicating with pet parents and love it when the communication is reciprocated, it simply makes pet sitting so much easier.
