Highly-rated overnight sitters - Howe
“Derek & Kristina were amazing. They were very warm and just overall nice people. My dog seemed like he had an amazing time there and they were able to accommodate what I needed at the last minute which I greatly appreciated. I will definitely use them many more times.”
“Melissa has been amazing with Paris. I cannot even emphasize bow important it is to find a trustworthy pet sitter and Melissa has just been that, for Paris. She shared regular updates via texts and pics - that just helped me stay stress free and concentrate on my work at hand. I would recommend Melissa to anyone who is looking for their fut baby to feel loved and cared for”
“We booked Maria for a 10-day trip and couldn’t be happier with the care she provided our pup! She went above and beyond—sending daily photos and videos that truly put our minds at ease while we were away. It was clear our dog was not just being looked after, but was genuinely loved and spoiled the entire time. Her communication was consistent. We came home to a happy, healthy dog who clearly adored her time with Maria. Highly recommend and will absolutely book again!”
“We had a wonderful first experience with our dog Pepper. We received happy videos and pictures of our puppy every day which my kids appreciated so much. Donessa was so attentive to any questions we had. We will definitely be back!!”
“Kimberly and Jagger were amazing with our babies Echo and Padro! I loved that they sent us pictures of them throughout the day for us to see how they were doing! I highly recommend them and will definitely be using their services again! Thank you again! 😊”
“Christian went above and beyond of taking care of Bella while we were away. He sent us photos and videos of our baby girl. He updated us everyday. We can tell Bella was happy. Thank you Christian”
“So happy our dog was in Hannah’s care. She was so sweet and communicated very well. My dog seemed to love her time there and was very well taken care of. We will be using her again. Highly recommend.”
“Christy and her husband Greg have been very responsive and accommodating our multiple travel plan changes. She provided updates and pictures, and took great care of Lupo. Our energetic and inquisitive dog came home happy and tired, which made the rest of my day very easy. Will use them again and will be recommending them to friends and colleagues.”
“My dog Milo had great time with them . He made new friends and was given a ball which is his favorite toy to play with. Lisa sent pictures and updates throughout the day. Will definitely rebook if needed.”
“We had a wonderful experience, I highly recommend this family for your boarding needs. Our Sam was well cared for and had a great time. He's a schnauzer so he has a very sensitive stomach. I know they carefully followed his eating plan, because since we picked him up he hasn't had a single problem. The two children absolutely adored him and he got lots of love and attention. Kathryn's precious daughter even sent him home with a handmade card. Our daughter lives in the area, so if Kathryn is available, she and her family will be our boarder for Sam from now on. I'm so thankful we found her!”
“Salene was amazing! I requested her to board my dog in March 2025 and she responded quickly! She asked questions and put me at ease. Drop off was easy and she sent me videos and photos of my dog Dash throughout his stay. My dog got along with her dog Teddy and I could tell he was comfortable in her home. I would highly recommend her as a sitter!”
“We would high recommend Jonai! She was great with our dog, sent many pictures and videos and provided a great weekend getaway for our dog so we didn’t have to worry. We would high recommend and will use again if the need arises.”
“Nataly was great with communication and professional and personable. This was our first time using a sitter and she made the process great and provided updates with pictures. We will definitely be returning!”
“I can't say enough good things about Ariel. When my other sitter on Rover cancelled the same day, I scrambled to find someone that would be willing to keep her with only a two hour notice. Ariel said she would be happy to watch her and she provided amazing loving care. My puppy looked so happy and Ariel took many pictures and shared it with me. I'm so grateful to have found her and will only be booking with her in the future.”
“we had a great experience. He’s very knowledgeable and took our dog out on plenty walks. Kept us updated with plenty of pictures. Definitely will recommend and will be using again. It’s rare to find someone who cares as much about our dog as his dog thank you so much”

“Jane was absolutely wonderful! She treated our babies like they were her own. From coming out ahead of time to meet us and our babies, to sending us text and photo updates, we couldn't have been happier with her service. This was our first time to use a professional pet sitter and, of course, we were very nervous about it. Jane was very reassuring and kept in constant contact with us. We look forward to using her the next time we go out of town!”
“This was my first time booking with Gabbi and she was great with our pups. She was able to come check on my two very energetic dogs (Jack Russell Terrier and Lab). She did an excellent job of keeping us updated during the drop-in and provided photos. Very sweet and would definitely book with her again in the future.”
About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for cats in my own home and for family members. I understand that cats need patience and a calm approach, and I always respect their space and routine. I make sure they have fresh food and water, clean litter boxes, and gentle attention so they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I also enjoy playing with cats who like interacting with their toys and giving them attention based on their personality and comfort level.
“Sabrina is great! I was so worried about leaving my 14 year old cat with someone I didn’t really know for the first time and I’m so glad we went with Sabrina. She was so nice when we met and she took great care of Izzy :) I would definitely book with her again.”
“Estefania was wonderful. This was my first time using a dog sitter service and it was a great experience. She was attentive to my dog’s needs and was very accommodating. I will definitely be requesting Estefania for future trips.”

We have a large crate that is available for use if needed, so you don't have to worry about bringing it if your dog needs one.

About: I have previous experience working at an animal lodging facility, experience caring for senior dogs, and experience administering medications when needed. As a former dog owner and current cat owner, I understand how important routines, patience, and personalized care are for pets. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels, and I always aim to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I am a stay at home mom of two girls on summer break. So I am looking to fill my extra time loving on your dogs. I care for every pet based on their individual needs and routine. Whether your dog loves active play, long walks, backyard time, or just relaxing and cuddling, I adjust my care to make them feel comfortable and secure. I provide supervised outdoor time, neighborhood walks, play sessions, feeding according to your schedule, medication if needed, and lots of attention throughout the day.
About: As a stay-at-home mom with a flexible schedule, I’m able to provide plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. I have a large, fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely play, explore, and get their energy out. My family lives in a beautiful community with parks and walking paths that are perfect for additional exercise and outdoor adventures. My children are gentle, respectful, and love animals, creating a warm and welcoming environment for pets. While we don’t currently have pets of our own, I would love the opportunity to care for yours as if they were part of our family. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, loved, exercised, and well cared for while you’re away. As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule and am home throughout the day, allowing me to provide plenty of supervision, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I enjoy making sure every pet feels comfortable, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a large, fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor play, as well as a pet-friendly home with plenty of space to relax. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise needs, and any special instructions.

About: I’m Breanna, and I’ve been a lifelong dog lover with over two decades of hands-on experience. My home is a hub for happy pups—not only do I have years of personal experience, but I also regularly pet-sit for family and have assisted professional sitters on their weekly routes. Our sweet girl, Nova is a great companion for dogs who prefer their own space. She isn't an 'in-your-face' player; instead, she’s a calm observer who tolerates guest pups well. She takes a few minutes to warm up to new friends, so we prioritize slow, supervised introductions to make sure everyone feels relaxed. She’s the perfect match for a guest dog who just wants a quiet place to hang out. Safety is my top priority—not just for your pups, but for my household too. For that reason, my husband, Isaac, will sometimes join me for off-site visits and walks. We’ve found that this team-based approach works wonders for staying organized and keeping the dogs happy and supervised at all times! I’m comfortable with all types of schedules and am happy to provide the same level of care and attention I give my own pets. I can't wait to meet your furry family member! Full-Time Care at Home: Both my husband and I work from home during the week with very flexible schedules, which means your dog will rarely, if ever, be left alone. We are able to provide constant supervision, frequent potty breaks, and plenty of companionship throughout the work week. Whether your dog needs a midday walk or just a quiet place to nap near us while we work, we can easily accommodate their routine. Weekend & Personal Schedule: We are available for care seven days a week, with a few set windows for our religious services: • Saturday Mornings: We participate in our ministry work, but are available for the rest of the day and evening. • Sundays: We attend our Christian meetings, but we are fully free outside of those service times to provide care and attention. During these short windows, dogs are safely secured in our home, and we are back quickly to resume our normal routine of play and supervision. Safety & Trust: With over 20 years of dog ownership and experience assisting a professional pet sitter, safety is my primary focus. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and needs a structured environment to feel secure. • Supervised Introductions: Because my dog, Nova, is polite but independent, I always conduct slow, leashed introductions in a neutral area to ensure all pets feel respected and safe. • Constant Supervision: Since my husband and I both work from home, guest dogs are never left unattended for long periods. • Double-Team Care: Having two adults in the home means there is always a 'backup' to help with leashing, feeding, or managing different energy levels between dogs. Our Environment: We live in a quiet, dog-friendly neighborhood in Anna. Our home is set up to be a peaceful retreat for your pet. • Fenced Yard: We have a secure, fenced-in backyard where dogs can enjoy supervised outdoor time and potty breaks. • Pet-Friendly Layout: Dogs are welcome in our main living areas. We have plenty of space for crates if your dog prefers their own 'den' for sleeping, or cozy spots for them to lounge near us while we work. • Clean & Secure: We maintain a tidy home (no small objects or hazards left out) and prioritize a calm atmosphere, which is ideal for dogs who might be nervous in a new environment.
About: With 5 years of experience caring for pets for friends and family I enjoy being able to meet new pets. I have cared for pets overnight in my home, drop-in care, and last minute sitting. Being a pet owner myself I know the importance of knowing your baby is well cared for. I believe in full communication and daily updates for peace of mind. I am a remote worker with the ability to be around your pets all day and let them out to my fenced backyard to play and potty breaks. During my free time I enjoy taking pets on walks around our neighborhood or playing in the backyard with them. I have a fully fenced yard and I am at home all day giving me the flexibility to be present while I care for your pets.
About: Animals have always been a part of my life, and caring for them comes naturally. Over the past 8 years, I’ve worked with pets of all kinds—playful pups, independent cats, curious bunnies, and even the occasional lizard. I understand how important it is to have someone you trust looking after your pets, and I take that responsibility seriously. Whether it’s a quick visit, a long walk, or just keeping them company, I’m here to make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for. As a remote worker, I have the flexibility to easily incorporate pet care into my daily and weekly routine. My schedule allows me to plan visits, walks, and check-ins throughout the day without the constraints of a traditional 9–5 job. This means I can provide consistent, timely care and adjust to each pet’s specific needs—whether that’s a morning walk, a midday visit, or evening playtime. Being remote also allows me to stay nearby in case any last-minute needs come up. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my focus is always on creating a safe, clean, and low-stress environment. In a client’s home, I stick closely to your pet’s normal routine—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide—so they feel secure and comfortable in their familiar space. I make sure your home is respected and left just as I found it. If pets are staying in my home, they’ll have a cozy, quiet space with plenty of attention, play, and supervised care throughout the day. In both cases, I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.

We both work from home full-time and are ready to share our home with your furry loved ones. We love to go on walks with the pups and go to our neighborhood dog park. We also love to play fetch in the yard and have lots of toys for pups to play with. To our returning families, welcome back! 💕 We took some time away after looking our baby boy, Jules, to a seizure. We miss him dearly, but Leo is ready to have fun with his friends again. Our house is not a home without paw prints. 🐾 We have no kids and we treat our dogs like our kids. Our house has a fenced in yard where we have pest control come out every 2 weeks to kill bugs like fleas and tics to keep our babies safe.

About: I have a wide array of experience with caring for dogs and cats—from the corgi puppy who barks through the night to the one eyed 18 year old deaf and blind Shih Tzu who just needed love and my current 9 year old rescue who loves cuddles and walks. I have experience administering medication, working with tricky meal routines, cleaning and sanitizing after potty accidents, and giving lots of love and pets. I am a teacher at a local high school and am free all day every day during the summer and before 8:00 am and after 4:30 pm on weekdays during the school year as well as full availability on the weekends. My pets are an integral part of my family and I start and end the day with a dog walk. I have a fenced backyard. There IS a pool, but I also have a 10x10 cage back there for potty breaks if you have a water loving dog that you don’t want in the pool. I have my own four legged crew: Ebby the funny fat cat and Teddy the sweet rescue dog. We do have stairs in our home but if you have an older dog that struggles with arthritis, I can stay downstairs with them while they are in my home.
“Mika did a wonderful job taking care of our dog. No hesitation in recommending 100%. She's very kind and has a gentle demeanor. She provides frequent updates and offer great communication.”
About: I have been a professional full time dog trainer for over 20 years. I opened my home to in-home boarding and day care a few years ago and absolutely love it. We treat all the animals that stay with us like they are part of our family until their loved ones come back! I send multiple updates a day, pictures and videos as well. I have many references I can offer you as well! It’s very rare that someone is not home with the animals. We spend our days going outside to play (weather permitting), and playing inside as well. The dogs are allowed to veg on the couch (if that’s allowed at their home!), and enjoy spending time with us! We have a 5 acre fenced yard. The dogs love it very much for running and playing. They are never outside unsupervised for any amount of time!
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life. I come from a veterinarian family. I’m the go to for all who know me to take care of their pets! From daily check ins to vacations. I’m dependable. And maybe your pup will come back knowing a new trick. I currently work very little (15 hours total a week) which leaves me plenty of free time so I want to spend it loving on pets. I always have someone here at the house when I am away so your pup will never be left alone. I have a huge fenced in yard and Walter & Millie love to make friends. I own a Massage Therapy practice which allows me to control my schedule. An hour here or there. When I am away I always have someone in the house with the animals so they are never alone. I have a huge fenced in yard for everyone to run around in and play. For all the water dogs I have a small puppy pool to play in! Lots of sticks and toys for fetch or tug of war.

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Howe
About: I've loved animals from a young age. It all started with black labs for duck hunting. I was a vet assistant and horseshoer for many years. I've had dozens of personal pets throughout my life, and am now looking to love on and help care for other people's furry friends. I am recently retired and need something to occupy my time and give me purpose. When thinking about what I'm passionate about, animals is what is first to come to mind. I am up early and start my day with a walk. I am home most everyday and have a very flexible schedule to accommodate your pets needs. I have a fenced, clean yard with a covered patio. Plenty of space to roam and run. There is a water hose for plenty of water available. I have a glass back door looking outside. I can bring them inside the house as needed.
“Kimberly is amazing with animals! My dogs acted like they knew her for years and look forward to her visits! I am sure my babies want me to travel more just to see her! She will be first in my list if and when we travel again! Thank you Kimberly!”
About: As a mother, teacher, and rescue board member, I know it takes a village to keep a household running. Now that I have the time, I am excited to support busy families with dedicated, experienced pet care. My Hands-On Experience Includes: Dogs (Big & Small): I have raised dogs from puppies to seniors. My personal pack includes two rescues that I successfully rehabilitated from extreme anxiety and severe underweight issues, and a third dog raised from a puppy with complex training, allergy, and dietary needs. Cats (Old & Young): I don’t personally own cats, but I always enjoy their independent and silly characteristics and always happy to help meet their needs while you’re away. Whether your pet needs structured routine care or loving interaction, your pets are in safe, experienced hands. As I transition from full-time teaching to part-time work, my top priority is focusing on my family while using my newfound flexibility to help yours. Because I am no longer tied to a school bell, I can be in your home when you need me most. Hours: Available from 7:00 AM to 10:00 PM Mid-Day Relief: Perfect for working parents who need midday dog walks, puppy potty training, or precise daytime feeding. Evening Routines: Available for dinner feedings, evening wind-downs, and locking up your home safely for the night. As a former teacher and current reptile rescue board member, safety and organization are second nature to me. My daily life is a masterclass in routine, seamlessly managing my three happy-go-lucky dogs, a diverse personal reptile collection (from diurnal geckos to nocturnal snakes and tortoises), and a rotating cast of foster animals. Why this means peace of mind for your family: Meticulous Attention to Detail: Constantly adapting to the unique needs of foster animals has trained me to recognize subtle behavioral cues, respect boundaries, and strictly follow specific dietary or medication instructions. Species-Specific Routines: Whether it is maintaining precise temperature and lighting schedules for a sensitive reptile, providing relief to your kitty cat’s needs, or keeping a high-energy dog on a structured schedule, I understand that different species require different care rhythms. Safety First: From double-checking tank latches to managing dog interactions safely, I prioritize a secure, predictable environment. I bring this blend of structured efficiency, complex care routines, and loving interaction into your home so you can rest easy knowing your pets are thriving.

About: I am known as a dog whisper, I have been able to calm angry simply through a gentle hand. My chickens follow me around like the Pied Piper. I am retired, so their routine is my routine. I generally rise between 6am - 7am and begin dog walking. After they have been fed, I take care of the other pets. At this time I do not plan to offer boarding on my eight acre hobby farm. If I do, then dogs, horses, cattle, sheep, and goats will be accomodated.

I also offer overnight care and keep you updated with regular check-ins, photos, and messages so you always know how your dog is doing.

My home is dog-friendly with a secure yard for safe outdoor play and potty breaks. I maintain a clean, calm environment with plenty of space for rest, play, and cuddles. When I’m in a client’s home, I treat it with the same respect I give my own. I stick to your pet’s routine, ensure they feel comfortable in their space, and provide plenty of one-on-one attention. I closely monitor pets at all times and never leave them unsupervised in unfamiliar situations. I also keep in touch with regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing.
About: I love dogs! I have three of my own—if I could, I would have 300. I’ve been walking dogs and caring for animals for over 30 years, and my experience spans all ages, temperaments, and needs. I’ve done everything from bottle feeding puppies to providing gentle, attentive care for senior dogs and dogs with medical needs, including administering medications and following special routines. I’m comfortable handling rambunctious, high-energy dogs who need structure, exercise, and patience, as well as shy or anxious pets who benefit from a calm, reassuring presence. My animal experience isn’t limited to dogs. I’ve also cared for horses and rabbits, so I understand the importance of species-specific care, safety, and attention to detail. I treat every animal as if they were my own, focusing on their comfort, routine, and well-being. Whether your pet needs lots of activity, extra medical attention, or quiet companionship, I’m dedicated to providing reliable, loving care you can trust. I’m a teacher, which means I have reliable availability in the evenings on weekdays. I’m also fully available during school holidays, long breaks, and throughout summer vacation. During those times, I have flexible daytime and extended availability to accommodate walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting. If you have a pet who needs consistent evening care during the school year or more frequent attention during breaks and summer, I’m happy to help and keep their routine as smooth as possible. When pets stay in my home, I focus on keeping their routine as close to normal as possible. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment with plenty of supervision, exercise, and affection. I carefully follow feeding instructions, medication schedules, and any special care needs. Dogs receive regular walks, playtime, and quiet rest, and I always prioritize comfort, especially for senior dogs or those with medical needs. I take introductions slowly when needed and make sure every pet feels secure and respected. My goal is for your pet to feel like part of the family while you’re away. Caring for Pets in Your Home When caring for pets in their own home, I respect both your space and your pet’s routine. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding, walks, medications, and household guidelines. I understand how important consistency is, especially for anxious pets, seniors, and medical cases. I provide regular updates, photos, and communication so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away. I leave your home clean and cared for, and your pet happy, comfortable, and safe.

“We had a wonderful experience, I highly recommend this family for your boarding needs. Our Sam was well cared for and had a great time. He's a schnauzer so he has a very sensitive stomach. I know they carefully followed his eating plan, because since we picked him up he hasn't had a single problem. The two children absolutely adored him and he got lots of love and attention. Kathryn's precious daughter even sent him home with a handmade card. Our daughter lives in the area, so if Kathryn is available, she and her family will be our boarder for Sam from now on. I'm so thankful we found her!”

“We found Sheri on Rover with great reviews. We dropped our pups, Louis and Ziya on Sunday, 2/6/2022 for the first time.

Sheri kept us posted and sent photos 2-3 times a day. We are so happy to have found Sheri and dropping our pups again in March. Thank you Sheri.”
