Pet care experience
I have been a dog lover since I got my first dog, Kiwi the puggle, about 20 years ago. While I can't have a dog at my current place, I love to hang out with my friends dogs and dog walk/sit when I can. I have experience dog sitting a variety of dogs - from a senior german shepherd/mastiff mix to a bernadoodle puppy, to high energy australian shepherds and golden retrievers. I would be more than happy to take your dog for a long walk or hike (if that's what they'd like), and am fine with just hanging on the couch and giving pets. I also have experience cat sitting! I had a rambunctious tuxedo cat in college named Chia who I loved dearly. I was the regular sitter for my friends cat who required oral medication. I've cat sat for a number of other cats, from a range of playful to timid to independent. Happy to tell you more about myself and my experience, and I hope to have the chance to look after your adorable fur baby!
Reviews
Hannah is great with Okami and always reliable, her and Okami get along great
Hannah was wonderful with my pup!!
I have known Hannah for over 17 years and she is great with animals! She has grown up with dogs so she knows how to care and manage them. Even with other friend's pets (such as cats and lizards) she is caring and attentive. Hannah is trustworthy and I would ask her to care for my own dog if we lived in the same state.
I wholeheartedly recommend Hannah. She has stayed at our house and taken great care of our cats multiple times while we were away on multi-day trips. She always gave them lots of love and pets and sent us sweet photos showing that they were doing well. She loves animals and is great with both cats and dogs. She's trustworthy, responsible, caring, and overall great!!

I try to respect your pets needs and boundaries as well as respecting the home that I am sitting in. If a dog seems high to medium energy, I try to provide stimulation through walks and play. I also make it a priority to respect the boundaries of your pet. I will give them space and let them come to me if they are shy, will be gentle and patient if I sense anxiety, all the while trying to let them know that they are safe & that I am a friend.
Information Hannah G. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know anything that you believe is important for me to know. If they have any special needs, if they are anxious or shy, how they are with other dogs, if there's anything in their history that would be important to know.
A typical day
I try to take the dogs I watch for at least an hour long walk (less if that is too much for the dog) that may end with a pupacchino! If a dog indicates that they want to play, I will play games (tug of war, fetch, etc.) Depending on how long I am hired to watch the dog, I'll hang out and have calm time with the dog by watching TV with them and cuddling (or letting them lounge around on their own.)
Services
Hannah can watch in your home
Availability
I work from home every day of the week except Wednesday, so I have flexibility to provide the care your pet specifically needs. While I am caring for a pet, I want to make them as comfortable as possible and prioritize attending to their needs.
