Highlights
Pet care experience
Loves dogs and cats + snuggles!
I'm thrilled to introduce myself as your dedicated dog and cat sitter, ready to shower your furry companions with love, care, and attention. 💛 With a rich history of nurturing pets in locales like Portland, Oregon; the Bay Area; Washington D.C.; and Santa Monica, California, I bring a wealth of experience to the table. My journey in pet care began in Portland, where I first discovered my passion for fostering meaningful connections with animals. Whether it was leisurely strolls through lush parks or cozy cuddle sessions at home, I quickly learned the importance of tailoring my approach to suit each pet's unique personality and needs. Venturing southward to the vibrant Bay Area. From energetic pups craving adventurous hikes to sophisticated felines who preferred lounging in sun-drenched windowsills, I embraced the diversity of pet preferences with enthusiasm and dedication. In the heart of the nation's capital, Washington D.C., I expanded my repertoire, catering to the discerning tastes of both cosmopolitan canines and elegant felines. Amidst the historic landmarks and bustling streets, I cultivated a deep understanding of urban pet care, navigating busy schedules and bustling city life. Finally, my journey led me to Santa Monica, where I continue to provide care with intentionality for beloved pets. Against the backdrop of sandy beaches and ocean breezes, I have cherished every moment spent bonding with furry companions, enriching their lives with joy and affection. Now, armed with a diverse array of experiences and a genuine passion for animal welfare, I stand ready to embark on a new adventure as your trusted dog and cat sitter. Whether it's a weekend getaway or an extended vacation, you can book with confidence that your cherished pets will be in capable hands, receiving the love, attention, and care they deserve.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Hannah was an amazing Pet Sitter and house Sitter. This was the best experience I’ve had on Rover. Hannah sent me several pictures throughout the day letting me know how my pups were doing. We truly appreciate how well informed she kept us as one of our dogs is very anxious and she seemed to do very well with her. Also, our house was spotless when we returned and an extra bonus was she made us cookies. Amazing! Highly recommend.
Best dog sitter ever! Thank you again!
Will definitely be using Hannah again- Remy had the best time!
Hannah has gone above and beyond every time she has watched my pup. My goldendoodle adores adventures and Hannah has taken her for all of her favorites - the beach, car rides, play dates with similar temperament dogs, etc. Hannah has been the only Rover that leaves my pup literally smiling after I pick her up. Hannah is extremely communicative, accommodating, and sends frequent updates and photos. Both my pup and I are so grateful to have found Hannah; I can’t recommend her more highly!
Hannah was great! From the start, it was clear she was experienced at taking care of animals and would treat my dog like her own. She sent daily pictures and videos, and my dog always seemed super happy and active. I’d happily book with her again.
Hannah stayed at our home to puppy sit Bagel while we were away and was wonderful. She maintained our training schedule and respected our home. She’s the best!
Calendar and availability
Schedule
I typically wake up around 6:30am and make breakfast for both myself and any furry guests in my home. I then go for a brisk walk around 7:00am outside to start the day with fresh air and take a pup on a walk if I have a guest boarding with me. I will then spend most of the day at home with a couple breaks for walks and getting some fresh air or play time in for myself and any pets under my care. On the weekends, I enjoy going to parks and sometimes the beach for a change of scenery and also to provide a space for the current dog that I am sitting to run and play in wide open spaces. I typically get ready for bed and snuggles with furry friends sometime between 10:00pm-11:00pm and go outside for one more walk before turning in for the night.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I organize my space and do safety checks to make sure there are not any materials that may be hazardous to animals, including groceries, house plants, cleaning supplies, and electrical chords. I keep a tidy environment both in my home and do so as well while I am a guest in others' homes. Depending on the pet's needs, I will also research safe walking trails and environments for pets to go on walks with me. Prior to caring for pets, I aways conduct a meet and greet or informational call to better understand the care needs of cat or dog whom I will be caring for during the booking. I also ask the pet parent how I can make their furry friend feel more at home with me and then I organize my space accordingly (putting bird sounds on the television, placing a dog bed under a dining table, putting away stressful triggers like vacuum cleaners, etc.).
