“Victoria watched Moose overnight (11 month old Labrador Retriever) as we attended a wedding out of town. Moose is a very sweet, big and ill -mannered boy. Victoria did a fabulous job with Moose, sent multiple updates throughout the evening and the next morning, and eased any concerns that we had about his big sleepover! Victoria is kind and warm, and a wonderful pet sitter. I picked up a happy boy who enjoyed his big adventure. I am grateful that we have found a high-quality and dependable sitter for Moose, and I highly recommend Victoria.”

“Emily and Patrick were wonderful! From the beginning, they were asking thoughtful questions about Ruby's needs, routine, and personality. Their dog, Eli, became a new fur friend to our pup, Ruby and the photos and videos they shared while we were away gave us peace of mind. They were also accommodating as we had to change our drop off and pick up times. We will definitely be booking them again!”

About: Howzit 🤙 I’m excited to shower your pets with love! I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life, always treating them like family—with patience, consistency, and plenty of love. Over the years, I’ve built real-life experience from long walks, silly play sessions, cozy couch naps, and learning the little quirks that make each pet one-of-a-kind. Whether it’s boarding, daycare, or house sitting, my goal is simple: to make your pets feel safe, happy, and cared for—just like they’re at home. Because when your pets are with me, they’re family too. 🐾 I work full time from home Monday thru Friday, with weekends typically spent at the dog park, hiking, or camping (with my doggies). Pet care isn’t just a task in my day—it’s part of my rhythm. I start and end my days with walks, play, and feeding routines, and I naturally build in time for snuggles, potty breaks, and play sessions throughout the day. Whether it’s a weekday or weekend, I keep a flexible schedule so I can give your pets the attention they deserve. Caring for animals has always been part of my daily life, so fitting your pets into my routine feels like second nature. Whether your pets are with me in my home or I’m caring for them in yours, the routine is built around comfort, safety, and fun. That means sticking to their feeding schedules, giving them the right balance of exercise and play, and making time for cuddles and rest. I treat your pets—and your home—with the same care and respect I give my own.

“Laura was awesome!”

“I have no words to describe how grateful I am with Sarah. She made Kobe’s first stay amazing. Since I met her I found a very loving and caring person and I felt really secure to leave my dog Kobe with her and her wonderful dogs. She was in touch the whole time sending me pictures and videos. I won’t hesitate to leave Kobe again with her!! Thank you so much again Sarah!! 😍”

“Christy was great! She was flexible with meet and greet times as well as pick up and drop off for our pups stay with her and Bandit. Enzo got along well with her dog and was running around with Bandit in the house when we picked him up. Thanks for taking good care of our pup and also for sending picture updates!”

“Our 15 year old dachshund, Bailey, had a wonderful long weekend with Theresa and Dozer. He came home happy and stress-free and I think he misses them! Theresa was great, very communicative with updates, and treated Bailey like one of her own. Bailey has more limited mobility since a back surgery a few years ago and Theresa gave me great confidence in how she handled him and made sure he didn't over extend himself. I wouldn’t hesitate to bring our little old man back to her again. Thank you!”

About: I love dogs and have experience with many dogs of varying ages and breeds. I grew up with golden retrievers, a dachshund, and a variety of rescue dogs and cats. For the past 12 years I had a Great Dane, Harry, who sadly passed away recently. I raised Harry from the time he was 8 weeks old so we went through the puppy stages, the teenage years, and the golden senior years. So, I’ve seen it all as a dog mom chewing, behavior issues, allergic reactions, accidents, illnesses, etc. I’m well equipped to take care of your pet and handle any challenge that may come up. I’ll care for your pet like he/she is a member of my own family- just like I did with Harry for 12 years. We will go for walks, have playtime, snuggle on the couch- whatever they’re into! I’m very organized, timely, and resourceful. I will work with your schedule and follow any instructions you have for your pet, no matter how specific. I do not have any pets of my own right now and have a fenced in yard. I work from home so can spend a lot of time with your pet at my home or drop in at your home as-needed. I work full-time from home so have flexibility with pet care needs throughout the day. I can provide bathroom breaks and feedings as needed throughout the day as well as check-ins. I have a fenced in yard (front and back) for the dog to use, but also have plenty of walkable areas around my house. I have no pets of my own right now. At a client’s home I will follow their instructions for yard usage, walks, etc.

“Kristen was absolutely amazing! My dog was sssssooooo comfortable with her and the other pets. Even made friends with a kitten!!!!! Love her! Will definitely be reaching out to her again!!!! THANK YOU 😊”
