About: I’ve taken care of dogs for family on and off since high school. More recently I personally have raised 2 puppies into some pretty good boys. I have 3 dogs total that I love! I am a full-time special education teacher. I work from 7-3 most days. I coach Colorgaurd so sometimes I have band practice till 5pm. I can watch, walk, or play with your fur babies after 3 and most anytime on the weekend. I am a very detailed oriented person so I follow directions well! I know how important routine is as well as consistency. But most importantly it is important for pups to know they are loved and cared for. I would love to send pictures and give all the loves and treats!
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs. I currently have four cats (two I’ve raised for over 3 years) and two dogs — one who’s been with me for 5 years and is now a senior with different needs, and another I’ve had for 2 years. Over the years, I’ve helped groom and care for pets belonging to friends and family — including baths, brushing, light nail care, and general pet hygiene. I also have experience with puppies, helping young dogs learn basic routines and good habits with patience and positive reinforcement. I understand how important it is to keep pets on a consistent diet and exercise schedule, and I always prioritize their comfort, emotional well-being, and safety. Whether I’m walking, feeding, or just hanging out with your pet, I care for them like they’re my own. I have the flexibility to provide attentive and reliable pet care every day after 2:30 PM. This gives me plenty of time to focus on your pet’s needs—whether it’s feeding, exercise, grooming, or simply spending quality time together. I’m dedicated to maintaining a consistent routine, so your pet will receive regular care and attention without feeling rushed. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or just companionship, I’m here to make sure your furry friend feels happy and loved while you’re away. When caring for pets in my home, I create a calm, safe, and loving environment where each animal feels comfortable and well-attended. I follow their specific routines for feeding, exercise, and play, ensuring they get plenty of attention and affection throughout the day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and household rules, maintaining consistency with their usual schedules for feeding, walks, and rest. I make sure to keep the home secure and clean, and I provide updates to the owner so they feel confident their pet is well cared for. In both settings, I prioritize the pet’s well-being, comfort, and happiness, treating each one like family.

Hannah Y.
“Hello! Hannah is my niece, she lived with us for a while and would help take care of our dogs and cats. She is so good with animals. She would take our dogs to the park, helped bathe them, and would even let the sleep with her at night. I really think they preferred her over everyone in the house lol. She is kind, compassionate, and just naturally has a care givers heart. She has helped us many times not only with our animals, but also my son (her little cousin). She is the first person I think of when it comes to our pups needing a sitter.”
