Long-Time Pet Lover and Caretaker!
Pet care experience
I'm a long-time pet lover who misses having pets and would love to take care of yours! I've lived in Atlanta for 5 years. I’m a graduate student (MFA in Fiction candidate) at GSU, so I have a relatively flexible schedule. I grew up with three cats, four dogs, five horses, two guinea pigs, and two birds, so I've always loved animals and have plenty of experience caring for them. When I'm sitting in your home, I'll of course walk your dog a few times a day. I'll also play with them and pet them so they know they’re loved. I'll make sure your pup's well fed and happy before I leave your house. Or I might decide to spend the night if that's your preference. Looking forward to meeting you and your pups! Other background: We lived in the woods of Texas when I was a kid, and our dogs were allowed to run free. I considered myself one of the dogs and often followed the pack on hunts and slept by their sides at home. I miss living with dogs, so your pup(s) or other creatures will receive plenty of attention, time outside, and cuddling with me. I love being outside, and I love spending time outside with animals, so I'll take your pup out often. Plus I will make sure your dog (or cat) gets plenty of ear scratching and cuddle time at home. (If you don't like your dogs on the couch or bed, please let me know, as I'm liable to let 'em up there.) I'm able to supervise your pups whenever I'm at your place and I can provide immediate transportation to a vet in case of an emergency. I love walking/running dogs, so I'll be sure your dog gets plenty of exercise and playtime. My experience administering medication: I'm VERY comfortable administering pills orally, as I did this for our now passed (March 2017) cat, Eartha, twice a day, every day for years for her chronic kidney failure. I also administered sub-Qs to her once every three days. And if your dog requires other treatment (such as shots), I can do that if you're willing to instruct me and watch me do it once.
Reviews
Can't say enough good things about Hannah. We were first time users and were incredibly worried about a stranger taking care of our baby, but Hannah quickly put us at ease, and our dog loved her (he was actually super mopey after we got back because he missed her. We'll definitely be asking her to watch Jax again!
Hannah always does a great job. Highly recommend
Hannah is great! Responsible and conscientious.
Hannah did a great job with Izzo! Will absolutely use her again.

Information Hannah D. would like to know about your pet
Age and size. Breed is not important (i.e. I've known a lot of sweet pitbulls, so I won't discount any breed and I don't have any preferences, though I do love hound dogs!). Your goals/expectations for your pup's stay. Behavioral issues. Past health problems. Demeanor toward other dogs and cats (since we have a cat). Dietary restrictions. Preferred way to play.
A typical day
Here's where we'll take our walks Old Fourth Ward Park, the Atlanta Beltline, and if we're feeling ambitious, Piedmont Park! I live super close to the first two and only a mile or so from Piedmont Park. Your dog's sleeping arrangement On the couch or in my bed, depending on your dog's preference. If you don't want me to let your dog on furniture, I can do that, but I may need to borrow your dog bed so he/she is comfortable. Time I'll spend with your dog Since I'm currently unemployed, I will be by your dog's side 24/7. Time I'll spend with your dog Since I'm unemployed at the moment, I will be at your dog's side 24/7. I'll take your dog on at least three walks a day, including a long walk (an hour) if your dog is up to it. Extra house-sitting services Yes! I'm also happy to do extra house cleaning and yard work for an extra fee.
