Pet care experience
***PLEASE READ*** I am getting back into pet sitting after having my first baby in May. I cannot spend nights away from her yet therefore I can only accept house sitting requests if you are comfortable with her tagging along with me. She is a really good baby and is used to being around our two dogs already. I often baby wear her in a carrier and we can go on walks with or without the stroller. As long as your dog is kid-friendly it shouldn’t be a problem at all! I understand completely if my situation won’t work for you but please keep me in mind for the future and don’t hesitate to reach out if you have questions. Thank you! Hey there, I'm Hannah! I'm 26 years old, married to my soulmate since April 2020, and I currently work at a dog daycare. In the past I have worked at other doggy daycares and a vet clinic as a veterinary assistant. I grew up with a wonderful whippet named Gabriel and a long haired calico kitty named Gibette, as well as various other pets along the way. I've always been the "animal crazy" girl who knew every pet in the neighborhood and greeted dogs more enthusiastically than their people! I have experience with obedience training and basic grooming (nail trims/brush outs/bathing). At work I interact with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments. I love making personal connections with every dog I meet, and I consider myself skilled in reading animals' body language and behavior. I care for every pet as if they were my own. When I take care of your dog, I will send you pictures, update you on our visits, and let you know generally how he or she is doing! I'm comfortable with anxious and shy dogs, and dogs with high energy levels. I'd like to avoid dogs with aggression issues however. My husband Michael loves animals of all kinds and sometimes he helps me care for your pets. We are a team! We have a tortie kitty named Daenerys, the Khaleesi of our home. I am also the proud dog mom of a silly and lovable German Shorthaired Pointer, Roman Alexander, and Heidi, a hound mix I rescued in November 2018. They’re both high energy, super sweet dogs. If you have any questions at all please feel free to message me! I also have tons of experience with small pets such as rats and mice, as well as reptiles and birds. I can handle it all!
Reviews
Hannah was great with our dog, 2 kitties, and even helped out with the backyard chickens. Would recommend!
Hannah was great. She took great care of the pup and treated the house well. Great communication with regards to any questions or concerns.
Hannah was super communicative and even stopped by before to meet our pup so we wouldn’t be too surprised by her when she came to pet sit!
Great job ensuring Merlin was well cared-for-would recommend Hannah!!

Safety, trust & environment
When I house sit or drop in to visit your pet, I will gladly follow their usual schedule for the most part and aim to keep your home clean and in order just as you left it. Wherever your pet likes to sleep or play is fine with me and whatever space you set up for me to use is great!

Information Hannah M. would like to know about your pet
I would love to know a little bit about your furry friend before we meet. Favorite treats, favorite toys or activities, and potty and feeding habits will all help me know how to best care for them. Also I'd like to know if there are any injuries or medical conditions to watch out for to keep your doggy healthy and safe. Any quirky habits, food or toy aggression, and major dislikes will be helpful as well.
A typical day
When I take care of your dog, we will have so much fun! I can take him out for a walk around the neighborhood or to local parks. I have a yard with plenty of space to run. Playing around the yard or house with a ball or squeaky toy is always great. I'm also a huge fan of cuddle sessions, so if your pooch is the lazy type, I'm totally down for that! Belly rubs and forehead kisses are my specialty. I will do anything I can to make your doggy feel loved and happy!

I’m a new mom and currently only working two days a week, so I have extra time for pet care such as drop in visits or walks, especially in the evenings after my husband gets home.
