“Hannah is the BEST!!! Highly recommended. I immediately felt like I was dealing with someone who has it together which gave me peace of mind that Moses was in good hands. She was friendly, communicative, and sent photos and updates. At no point was I worried about my sweet pooch. Thank you, Hannah. You’re greatly appreciated.”

“Roosevelt had a great time staying with Melissa and her sweet family! We booked last minute, but Melissa was extremely accommodating, even on short notice. She sent regular check-ins and was very easy to communicate with, always responding promptly and sharing detailed updates on what Roosevelt had been up to. Her house had a large fenced-in backyard that was perfect for running around, and a cute neighborhood for walks. I will absolutely be booking with Melissa again, and would recommend her to friends and family.”

I am confident in offering services as simple as litter box changes all the way up to special needs medical pet sitting.

“Callie was great with our little Frankie. I admit we were a little nervous since we have never been away from him since he was adopted, but Callie kept us informed and sent the cutest pictures to help us feel at ease. I would definitely recommend her. She is so sweet and her house was quiet and homey, which is exactly what our Frankie needed. We will be using her again in the future.”

About: I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and I take time to get to know each animal’s unique personality, needs, and routine. Whether it’s belly rubs, playtime, or quiet companionship, I’m there to give them the love and attention they deserve while you’re away. You can count on me for consistent communication, updates, and genuine care every step of the way. I work Monday through Friday from 8 AM to 5 PM, so I’m available for early morning, evening, and weekend care. Whether it’s morning walks, after-work snuggles, or weekend hangouts, I make sure pets get the attention and love they need. I stick closely to their pet’s usual routine to keep things stress-free—whether that means walks at certain times, feeding schedules, playtime, or just some good old-fashioned snuggling. I keep things clean, respectful, and always make sure pets feel safe and comfortable. Caring for pets in my own home, they’ll get a cozy, welcoming environment, plenty of attention, and lots of love (plus maybe a few extra treats if that’s allowed!).

About: I have taken care of cats and dogs since I was a little girl. I love every animal and will make sure your pet is loved and well taken care of when you're away. I currently work full time Monday through Thursday 7am-5pm. I am available every evening and every weekend to assist you and your pet with their needs. I have an unfenced yard in a development. We will go on walks but will have to be leashed walks. We may take a trip to an open field at my parents house to let them run wild with your permission. I have 2 dogs and a cat of my own. I can crate with no problem or your pet is welcome to the bed, couch, floor, etc. Whatever makes you more comfortable with the care of your pet. I will keep you updated with your pet throughout the time they are in my care.
