About Hannah M.
Communication
Safety, trust & environment
An animal's comfort and well-being will always be first and foremost in my mind, so I take my time and let each pet set the pace of our interactions. I try to maintain as much of their usual routine as possible to minimize stress while you're away! I understand from experience just how much different pets' needs can vary, and I adjust my approach however necessary to keep them feeling safe and secure.
Information Hannah M. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your pet has specific triggers or is reactive to anything in particular (e.g. noise, dogs, cats). I want to make sure everybody is safe and happy! Please also let me know about typical routines, food portions, sanitary or medical needs, and any quirks or needs they have. I would also love to know if they have any favorite toys or activities!
A typical day
I love to give your cat a fun and fulfilling time! Depending on what they are interested in, we will engage with their favorite toys, snuggle, or have a good scratches sesh. I always strike up conversations with the kitties, also, since I feel like they appreciate and enjoy it more than one would think!

Cat care experience
I am so fortunate to have grown up caring for so many wonderful animals, and I currently live to pamper my own sweet kitty! I adore getting to know each cat's unique personality, and there truly is no feeling which compares to earning their trust. I currently focus on cat care with Rover. If you have booked with me before, your rates are locked in at the original amount! When I meet a new pet, I let them set the pace of our interaction. If they seem shy or timid, I happily wait until they feel comfortable enough to approach me. How I spend time with each kitty is completely based on their unique needs, which means that I pay close attention to body language and behavior so that every baby feels comfortable and is also appropriately stimulated (with playtime, brushing, scratches, etc.). I do everything I can to form a relationship with your little one and make sure that they are happy and fulfilled, even while you're away! I am experienced in all areas of cat care, such as particular mealtime routines, cleaning litterboxes of all kinds, administering medication (including oral meds, sub-q injections, and inhalers), brushing, and of course, playtime. I have loved and bonded with so many cats who have a wide range of personalities, and I would be thrilled to either simply sit in your baby's presence or orchestrate a rowdy playtime.
Reviews
Hannah was great with our cat! He needed multiple oral meds administered and she handled it so well. He got extra attention and play time, and she made sure to send a ton of great photos and provide a thorough update so I knew he was safe and happy while I was gone.
Hannah is an incredible sitter who always goes above and beyond for our kitty cat. She’s very communicative and always sends adorable photos of your little one! I highly recommend her to anyone!
Hannah was absolutely the best! She went above and beyond in her care for our two cats, showering them with love and attention. She was extremely communicative and provided a plethora of pictures and updates with each visit. We would rebook Hannah in an instant!
Hannah was great....until the last day. On July 15, me and Hannah had a text exchange in which she told me she poured old litter in a huge bag; but it was too heavy to lift. I suggested scooping litter in 39 gallon trash bags, in small increments. Perhaps 20% full in each bag. She liked the idea and she told me she would figure something out. Well, I returned home from California on Friday, July 31, and Hannah left behind a zillion-pound bag of old cat litter. She didn't throw it away. Inside the bag was cat litter and two old litter boxes. Now, I never asked Hannah to discard the old litter boxes; but she thought it was a good idea to do so. I appreciate Hannah going all out; but what I did not appreciate is coming home from a 4-hour flight from a desert town in California...completely exhausted...... and now I got to deal with a excessively heavy trash bag full of cat litter. I dragged the bag down the hallway to the trash chute, but I couldn't lift it. So I opened it up and tried to separate the two old litter boxes. In the process, a bag busted open and cat litter got on the floor near the chute. I swept it up as best as I could and I wound up throwing two less heavier bags down the chute. I really didn't need this. So, overall, Hannah was great with Coconut the Cat; just lousy with taking care of something that she initiated on her own.
