Safety, trust & environment

I will treat your home and pets with dignity and respect. Not only will I tend to your pets' needs but make sure they are enjoying themselves too. I know firsthand how hard it can be to leave your pets in the care of someone else. I will make sure that while you're away your pets know they are loved and cared for.

Information Hanelle M. would like to know about your pet

I'll need to know ahead of time if: -your dog is dog-reactive? -Is your dog good in the car? -Do they react to men? That will affect where I walk them and how.

A typical day

I prefer to walk dogs in the neighborhoods they're familiar with. If exercise for your dog is the goal, we'll keep a steady pace. If your dog enjoys smelling the roses, we'll stop to do that too. If your neighborhood is not safe for dogs, I live in a quiet neighborhood next to many dog-friendly parks, where they will have a pleasant experience. I also have a safe and reliable car to transport your dog to and from venues if necessary. If walks are not something your dog enjoys, my terrible aim is always a plus when fetch.

Pet care experience

***IMPORTANT*** Due to a change in my schedule, I am now only available for evening walks or drop-ins scheduled after 5:30pm. I'm a huge animal lover, and have been a pet owner for over 30 years. I'm very comfortable with both dogs and cats. I have experience with fish and small mammals and reptiles. Recently, I watched my first flock of chickens! I have experience with both puppies and kittens as well as senior pets. I'm a furbaby empty-nester and looking to share scritches and snuggles with some fuzzy friends. Meet and greets are required. Please allow enough time before your booking for that to be accomplished. I sit mostly in Salt Lake county, but open to Davis and Utah counties if my schedule allows. (she/her) LGBTQ+ ally

Hanelle went above and beyond to ensure my bunny received the care he needed under difficult circumstances. I am so grateful for her communication and assistance.

Hanelle is the best! I can always count on her to do an excellent job taking care of my pet rabbit. Her communication is always great too, which I really appreciate.

Hanelle is always the best petsitter! Rabbits can be very shy and sensitive, but my pet bunny has clearly developed a liking for Hanelle and is very comfortable around her. As a pet owner, I am always super happy with Hanelle's communication and attention to detail. It means a lot to me that she is so considerate and trustworthy, and I am so grateful she always provides me peace of mind while I am away from my pet.
