Welcome to the Howliday Inn 🏨

Pet care experience

Hello! My family has almost always had dogs as long as I can remember, large and small, ranging from toy poodles to, Malinois and Boxers. Often, we would go on hikes in the mountains, camp out, visit the dog park or beach, or stroll downtown to the local festivals and have a beer and listen to some live music. Currently I live with an amazing boxer named Gilly who loves other dogs, but is a little high energy at the beginning. If your dog is okay with that then so am I. Otherwise I’m happy to watch them/take care of them at your place. I’m also experienced with prong collars and E-collars if required. Thanks for trusting me with your family!

Mark was an amazing sitter for my dog! I had him come to my house since my dog had a minor injury and we didn’t want him playing with other dogs quite yet. He did a fantastic job caring for Ollie and giving him meds for his injury. Would definitely hire him again!

Mark was great to work with. He maintained my dog’s happiness and my house’s cleanliness, so I’m a happy customer. He was courteous, respectful, followed all of my house rules and took care of everything as asked while we were away. Plus he’s just a nice guy. He maintained regular contact and sent pics and videos for us while we were missing our doggo. This was my first experience using an in-home dogsitter, and I was very anxious about going this route, but I would absolutely book again with Mark and recommend him to anyone who needs a sitter.

We were so appreciative of Mark house & pet sitting our pups this weekend. He took them on walks, left our apartment spotless, and just was a fantastic person to meet! We got some pics of them on walks, and we are so grateful! We will definitely be using Mark in the future! :)

Mark did a great job watching my dog! He sent me pictures to update me and that allowed me to enjoy my evening more! Also I’m grateful he helped me with short notice and was flexible on timing. Thank you Mark!!!

Great question! Care is case by case by how the client prefers. In my own home it’s very relaxed but if the client prefers certain behaviors to be followed I’m happy to abide.

I very recently moved to MD so I have tons of free time on my hands. In the early mornings and later evenings I like to go on runs while it’s cooler and I’m happy to have company to go with. During the day I am available for walks/potty breaks as need be.
