Hi! My name is Hannah, and I’ve had dogs in my home for as long as I can remember. Growing up with them and later having several of my own has given me a lot of hands-on experience caring for dogs at every stage of life—from raising puppies to caring for senior companions. I’m comfortable with everyday care like giving oral medications, reinforcing basic manners, and making sure dogs get plenty of rest alongside their play. Whether a dog prefers a good game of fetch or curling up on the couch for naps and scritches, I’m happy to meet them where they’re most comfortable. I work from home full time, which allows me to give visiting dogs consistent supervision and plenty of attention throughout the day. To make sure every dog receives the best care possible, I only accept bookings from one family at a time, so your dog won’t be staying alongside multiple unfamiliar dogs. In my home I have two dogs who will be present and interacting with visiting pups: Cain, my neutered male Border Collie, and Mabel, my intact female Labrador Retriever. Because of this, guest dogs must be friendly and comfortable around other dogs. After an initial warm-up and introduction period, visiting dogs are welcome to relax in the full house and enjoy our securely fenced yard. For safety and comfort, all dogs are fed separately. I do my best to send photos and updates throughout each stay so you can see how your dog is doing. Clients are always welcome to reach out if they’d like an update as well—I’m happy to check in when I can. To help make sure every dog has a safe and comfortable stay, I do have a few basic requirements. Dogs should be friendly with other dogs and people, reasonably house trained, and comfortable resting in a crate as needed. They should also be up to date on flea prevention and generally healthy when they arrive. For safety, I’m not able to host dogs who are known escape artists, fence climbers, or dogs with severe separation anxiety that leads to destructive behavior. To help your dog settle in smoothly, please bring enough food for the duration of the stay, a crate for your dog, and written notes with feeding instructions, schedules, and emergency contact information. A meet-and-greet beforehand is always encouraged so we can make sure everyone—dogs and humans alike—feels comfortable before the stay begins.
