About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, rabbits, farms animals. Loving and caring for animals is my passion. They can be just a sprout all the way to a retired old baby and I will be happy to care for them. If in home stays are required I will have to bring my son with me he is 2 months old currently. My husband may come as well. We will completely respect your home. I’m currently working full time but plan on switch careers and would love to give this a try and see where it takes me in life.

In your home, I am more than willing to go by your rules.

“Hannah was great and took excellent care of our babies while we were gone. She was very respectful of our home and sent pictures several times thruout the day to let us know what the pups were up too. She vacuumed because our fur babies shed a lot and ran the dishwasher. We will be using Hannah again for any trips we take short or long!”
