About Hannah L.
Communication
Safety, trust & environment
My experience in the veterinary field has left me with the ability to read cat's body language well - I make it clear to respect their space and to not rush interactions, and love building trust in small steps, especially for shy cats. I am always watching for escape artists when entering & leaving your home, and try to ask ahead of time if you have a plastic or wire chewer in your home, so I can be mindful about that, too. I speak softly when in home so your pet knows I'm there and try to conduct the chores quietly to not cause too many loud noises, which some cats can be extra sensitive to!
Information Hannah L. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your pet has any special needs or accommodations, such as supplements, medication, or any extra physical needs. Meeting prior to my first scheduled visit to go over routines is very helpful in ensuring I care for them in the way that best suits you & your pet's preferences!
A typical day
My typical visits begin with a hello (if they like socialization!) & assessing how they ate the day prior, replenishing any food and water, cleaning litterboxes, washing up used dishes and sweeping any tracked litter. Afterwards, the rest of the time is focused on your pet! I like to do whatever activities your cat prefers - if they want to chase toys, wands, or lasers, we definitely will get some exercise in. If they want to lounge with me on the couch and be pet, I love a relaxing visit, too. Some pets experience extreme stress with strangers and owners prefer me to perform chores and leave promptly, without spending any time with their hiding pets. I am open to whatever would be best for your pet, and you know them best!

Previous vet tech, now pet sitter!
Cat care experience
After 8 years in the veterinary field, I’ve walked away with invaluable skills that directly apply to you and your pet during travel! Reading body language to develop a trusting relationship and monitoring general health through eating, litter box habits, and behavior are things I consistently keep in mind during visits. I do have experience with medications and supplements, but am limited on what I can offer at this time, so please reach out if you have questions on medication administration!
Reviews
This was our second extended booking with Hannah, and once again she was great. She was so patient and understanding with my more challenging, aggressive cat while also giving my sweet, easygoing cat plenty of love and attention. It’s not easy finding someone who can confidently handle both, and it gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. She also took great care of our home and left everything clean and tidy. I highly recommend her, especially if you have a pet that needs a little extra patience or understanding.
Great as usual =) Hannah is always our go-to every time we leave.
Hannah did a great job taking care of our elderly kitty and house while we were on vacation! She was able to give her all her medications. Because Hannah is a vet tech, it gave us peace of mind our kitty would be well cared for, get her medications and that she would be able to recognize if she needed and medical attention. Hannah sent us thorough updates and pictures of our kitty twice a day. She also did a great job of taking care of the house. I highly recommend Hannah to watch your pet and will definitely have her watch our kitty again.
Hannah was absolutely incredible with our two cats!! We were out of town for over a week and Hannah was amazing - timely, organized, trustworthy, and patient with our cats (one can be a little spicy and she was amazing!). We’re so grateful for her and look forward to booking her again!
