We are the Howe family!

  • Hi there, I am Alexia. What started as a hobby in my youth, grew into a full-time opportunity to care for a variety of animals as an adult. As your full-time pet-sitter, my days are spent focusing on your pets personal care routine and loving on them as much as they will let me. I am passionate about mental stimulation and enrichment toys as much as daily exercise in my dogs day-to-day life. My favorite thing about pet-sitting is being able to get to know and love on each guest as if they were my own.

  • Isaac is my husband, your part-time pet sitter and manager on the farm we live on. When he is not focusing on the growth and harvest of corn and soy beans in the surrounding acreage of the farm, he enjoys playing with the dogs in our care. Under safe circumstances, he is delighted by your pets company while he works on equipment or bringing them along as he drives a tractor. His favorite part about pet sitting is getting to know each individual personality and including them in day-to-day farm life.

  • Our two sons thoroughly enjoy the company of animal companions. I am grateful for the opportunity to instill in them a love for caring for animals. Our eldest takes pleasure in playing fetch with the dogs and assisting their mom with meal preparation, while our youngest lights up with joy whenever he sees a dog. All interactions between our children and the dogs are closely monitored for signs of discomfort or the need for space. We emphasize the importance of gentle handling. During outdoor playtime or walks with the dogs, our boys often prefer to be safely secured in baby carriers.

  • Our girls, Rizzy and Sky, are both Australian Shepherds. Both have been apart of our family since they were 12 weeks old. Both are well socialized and love playing with new pals under direct supervision from my husband or I. Their favorite activities are tractor rides, chasing their herding ball, playing with new pals, licky bowls, enrichment puzzles and cuddles in the evening!
