“I'm so glad I found Hana, she's been a godsend! Relocating to a new place and immediately starting a new job, it's fair to say my girls were completely discombobulated and wondering what happened to their charmed life and all the people they knew. I touched base with Hana on Rover my first week. She immediately responded and we set up daily walks. It took them a bit to warm up, but she's quickly become a friend they anticipate seeing! Hana keeps in good contact, is punctual, sends pics and info, and the girls are super excited when she arrives. Thanks so much Hana for making their transition to our new life a little easier!”


“Christina is truly amazing! The love and support she showed Titus and I was amazing! This is my first puppy and her watching Titus gave me great piece of mind. Thank you so much!”


“Sonia is a lifesaver, my sweet pup was recently diagnosed with diabetes and needs insulin shots every 12 hours. Sonia was able to accommodate my last minute request and administer her shot.”


“Oh my gosh, I just have to shout out Tatum! She was absolutely amazing with my fur babies. She kept me updated with the cutest photos and messages throughout the day, showing so much love and attention. If you're looking for someone who treats your pet well and provides exceptional care, Tatum is the best. I can't recommend her enough—five stars all the way!”


“Michelle was wonderful. She took amazing care of my fur babies and they absolutely adored her. She was so attentive and did such an amazing job caring for them and making sure she understood what they needed. I would trust her again with my babies.”


About: I’ve cared for dogs since childhood, growing up with seven and now raising two Basset Hounds. I treat every pet like family—with love and attention. I've been caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments since I was 9, including walking, feeding, bathing, and giving extra attention to senior dogs and those with special needs. Friends, family, and neighbors regularly rely on me to care for their pets, knowing I treat every animal as if they were my own. Whether your pet needs active playtime or calm companionship, I bring genuine love, experience, and dedication to every visit. I’m currently an unemployed student and available full - time so my schedule is clear. I respond fast and show up fast, whenever and wherever. I have two very friendly basset hounds at home that can give your doggy some company. I have homemade beds for all doggies and crates if needed. Very spacious house with 4 floors, no backyard, but at least 3 walks per day implemented into the daily routine for exercise as well as plenty of dog toys and treats.

About: Used to walk multiple dogs regularly, have house sitted with multiple animals in the house. Have worked with large dogs over 100lbs to smaller dogs. I would like to disclose I walk with my veteran husband due to my PTSD sorry for any inconvenience. I love speaking to all furry friends sweetly and lovingly. I love animals of all ages, sizes and breeds. Currently free most of the time as a stay at home wife and mother. Weather depending. Can make accommodations if the weather isn't ideal. Please just contact me to discuss alternate options during bad weather. I will provide the highest level of safety and care when I'm with your animals. I always make sure an environment is safe and clear before entering. I treat all animals as if they were my own, I'm very particular on how animals are treated and do my upmost to make your animals feel as loved as you make them feel.
