“She took amazing care of our dogs for 4 days! She cleaned up after them so well and even played with them. I felt so comfortable leaving them alone for our trip because Chyler was so caring to them!! Can't wait to book again.”


About: I’ve had dogs since I was 10. Every puppy or dog from the shelter has been crate/potty trained. I do have a senior dog who needs more patience and attention but he still acts like a puppy sometimes. I’m retired so I can make your life easier. Just let me know what/when you’ll need me and I can work it out for you and your babies. I have a fenced yard and my babies are house trained so they have free access to the entire house. If I’m potty training, of course, they would be crated.
“Hannah did amazing with our dogs. She was either on time or early every time to go let them out and took very good care of them. She kept me updated every time she went over there and if she wasn’t sure about something instead of just doing it, she asked me what I would do which I really really appreciated. If you have the opportunity definitely book with her she’s amazing.”

I'll do what it takes to make sure your buddy is safe and happy!
