Who let the dogs out? Me! (Safely)
Pet care experience
Hello! I'm Hannah, an actor/comedian/dog-walker/sitter who likes pies, new socks, and of course, dogs. On top of caring for my own since I was a kid (my first dog was Herbie, a Newfie/Retriever mix), I've got years of experience caring for and helping train other folk's pets. My primary occupation this past year was dog-sitting and falling in love with each and every pet I work with is the greatest joy. I've worked with the biggest breeds, the littlest fluffs, and every size in between. I understand how important it is to know that your pet is taken care of when you're not able to be there, and I put their comfort and safety first. Attentiveness and sensitivity to an animal's needs is a strength of mine. I'm experienced in handling and comforting dogs with anxiety as well as older pups with physical medical issues. Much like dogs, I like exploring outside (though I typically rely less on my nose to do so). I like to take the quieter, more scenic routes, so there will be lots of trees and grass to sniff on walks. As the former pitcher of the DeLong Middle School Softball Team, I am a big fan of fetch and I love having a four-legged buddy to run with. If your dog isn't so much into athletics (which I definitely understand), I am also a big fan of just hanging out and giving head scratches and belly rubs. Either way, I am always attentive to what your pup may be in the mood for, and will do my best to make it happen (unless they are in the mood for eating a leather shoe or something like that). My schedule is very flexible and I am open to helping you out as long as you need, whether it's for a 30 minute visit or walk, or an extended sitting period.
Reviews
Hannah is awesome. She can romp and roam with your big goober pups, hang with your elderly canines and your little ones still figuring it out AND she can cat nap and quietly cuddle with your shy kitties and reserved doggos too. I've seen her do it all. Hannah is smart and loving and super responsive AND she'll take pics and send 'em quick! I''m so so glad she's a been a part of our pack.
Hannah is SO a great with my dog Clem. Every time I’ve left him in her care he has been relaxed and taken care of. But my favorite thing are the cute pics she takes of him to add to my ever growing collection. Clem loves Hannah!!

I would like to know the temperament, any special needs, and their favorite things to do! I love all dogs, but particular medium to big size breeds.

I was the pitcher on my Middle School Softball team, so I'm pretty good at fetch and I also love having dogs as running partners or playing tag with them. If your pup is on the more chill side, I am also happy to snuggle up and just hang out at home.
