“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A True Gem – Like Family to Us and Maximus! We feel incredibly lucky to have found Hannah—she’s not just a dog walker, she’s part of our family. Our dog Maximus is truly our baby (especially now that our kids are grown and out of the house), and knowing that Hannah cares for him with the same love and attention we do means the world to us. Hannah has been with us for over three months now, and in that time she’s become someone we fully trust with our most spoiled and beloved family member. She’s reliable, flexible with our crazy schedule, and always greets Maximus with affection and warmth. You can tell she genuinely loves what she does. Maximus absolutely adores her! She goes above and beyond to make sure he feels cared for when we’re not home, which gives us such peace of mind. We treasure Hannah and everything she does for our family. If you’re looking for someone who will love your dog like their own, look no further. She’s truly one of a kind.”

She obviously loves animals and my dog, who is sometimes shy with strangers, immediately liked her and will be happy to see her the next time she comes. I highly recommend her if you need a good caretaker for your pets.”

“Christopher and Leslie are professional, they're skilled at handling dogs, and my dogs love them. Even our two very shy dogs warmed up to them quickly. (And my cats, who were not part of the booking, also were happy to say hi to them. They're obviously cat people, too!) They were happy to accommodate some last-minute changes to the bookings, which I appreciated very much. I will definitely book them again when I need help.”

About: I have been around pets my whole life. I have had several cats over the years. I have been around horses sense I was 6 years old. I would help groom and feed horses at a boarding facility. I have trained my own horses some tricks. When I was 12 years old I use to help my neighbor with her Bernese mountain Dogs she would breed. I would help feed, bathe, train, and raise puppies. I have worked in two vet offices, pet store, and now I am currently a dog trainer. My schedule currently varies at the moment but I plan on opening my schedule more as I gain clients. I try very hard to accommodate people and to make them and their pets happy. I will offer care in the pets home. I always come prepared with extra leashes, treats, and poop bags. I have a crate in my care that could be used to transport your pet as needed to the vet or a fun place to walk.

I've also grown up with dogs, never lived without them til my 20's. So needless to say, I am an animal lover and advocate and will treat them with the best care they deserve!

My dog and I are constantly walking, playing, and training at any time possible. I am extremely flexible. Shadow is extremely friendly with other dogs. He is neutered so I am able to have unfixed females in my house. I do not have a fenced in backyard, but I love going on walks at anytime throughout the day. My dog currently sleeps in a crate, but your dog can do what’s the most comfortable for them.

Audrey B.
“I can’t recommend Audrey B. enough as a pet sitter and dog walker! She is one of the most compassionate, responsible, and attentive people I know—especially when it comes to animals. Audrey has a natural ability to connect with pets and treat them like family. Whether it’s a playful pup or a shy senior cat, she’s always patient, gentle, and tuned in to their needs. I’ve seen firsthand how much love and care she puts into every interaction, from long walks to cuddles on the couch. She’s the kind of person who notices the little things—if your dog seems a little off or your cat needs some extra attention, Audrey will catch it and respond with care. Plus, she’s incredibly reliable and communicative, so you’ll always know your pet is in safe hands. If you’re looking for someone to care for your pet like you would, Audrey is absolutely the one to call. Your furry family members will be in the best hands!”
