About: Growing up in Alaska we always had dogs in our home. It taught us responsibility, care and respect for animals at an early age. I have 30+ years of experience caring for cats and dogs, as both our own pets and others. In our household we have an eleven year old son and a 4 1/2 year old small, mixed breed, super friendly, dog. We will provide a safe, nurturing, playful environment for your furry friend and will treat them as if they are part of our family! We have a fully fenced back yard for them to romp and play. I am home every day until the first week of August so you can count on round the clock care for your pets. I recently reactivated my Rover account and am looking forward to hosting our first clients in our new home! I am currently not working for the summer so am available in my home full time. Once school begins, mid August, I will be available in the afternoons and weekends with limited availability Monday-Thursday. I have a fully fenced yard and a furry friend who loves to play. If quiet space is needed, we have doggy door access from outside to the garage.
About: I have an old frenchie and breed frenchies. I have dealt with every situation imaginable with a dog. If you want someone who knows dogs I am ur girl. All day everyday. I work from home. I run my own businesses and can do whatever is needed whenever I’m needed. I am always with my dogs. I have had all my dogs trained and they eat at certain times and go to bed at certain times. We have routines daily. This helps keep them from total chaos.
About: My attention to detail, reliability, and genuine care for each dog's unique needs. I don't just supervise, I actively engage with them through activities, routines, and create a safe environment. My goal is to make every dog happy and every family feel at ease. I work at school and I'm currently off of work during all summer, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your fur babies! I have a yard where they can play, I also have a fenced potty area, toys, beds, and blankets. My three teenagers and my three fur babies are gonna be excited to take care of yours.
About: I have a special place in my heart for senior dogs and senior care for dogs. I am happiest when I am taking care of animals in whatever way they need love and care. I currently work part time so have plenty of time Wednesday through Sunday to care for your pets. I prefer to check on them in their own homes frequently each day giving them plenty of time to run around and play or have some love and companionship. When I check on your pets in their homes I will be sure they have everything they need to be comfortable and safe while I’m away. I will also spend an hour with them to make sure they have plenty of time to do their business outside and get their wiggles out if they need it.
About: I have worked in the pet sitting world for 10 years. I have cared for all types of dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, mice & rats, ferrets, and hamsters. I am skilled in giving pet medication for your furry friends special needs. I have worked with dogs & cats of all ages and sizes. I can provide care for puppies that will need the extra TLC of frequent potty breaks, play time and even work on some training & obedience skills. I can provide long walks, dog runs, adventure days, quick potty breaks and dedicated play sessions for your pet. For smaller pets (rabbits, guinea pigs etc) I am familiar with the special care that comes with their needs as I have small pets of my own. I am always willing to work with the client and their pets needs. I look forward to meeting your fur babies! i am currently only doing pet sitting, so i am free to attend to needs through out the day + week. please reach out for availability! Dog walking: I do my best to stick to your pets routines. If your dog is on a more structured schedule/obedience, I will keep them on that schedule. I will keep pets crated if told to do so. Walks will always start with greeting/leashing, then we head out for fun! Upon arrival back to your home, pups will get a treat, fresh water, and some love before I leave. Pet photos will be sent to the client after our walk. For house boarding & Doggy Day Care: all pets including my own dog, will always be crated upon leaving the home for their own safety. I will only allow dogs to stay in my home upon meeting the dog first, and making sure they're dog friendly and okay with cats. I prefer to keep only one other dog in my home at a time but will make exceptions for the right dogs/fit. dogs are expected to be well behaved in my home and not have destructive or aggressive habits.

“We love McKenna! We booked her for a week to walk our dog and check in on our cat and other dog while we were on vacation. She was reliable and communicated with us every day. McKenna went above and beyond and we will definitely book her again and refer her to all our friends.”
About: I've been deep in the animal world for more than 7 years. From owning my own pet sitting business, working at veterinary clinics, owning my own pets, and fostering for many years!

Dogs, cats, reptiles, fish, rodents, and even poultry and certain livestock. I own my own goat farm, and spend a lot of my free time doing cat rescue. My schedule is generally very flexible.

I send photos at every visit unless requested otherwise. Clients pets never interact with pets outside of their home, and I will advocate for your pet in your place if the need ever arises.

“Melissa you’ve been amazing in dealing with my rambunctious boy Griff! 100/10.”
Hannah M.
“Hannah was my dog walker and overnight sitter for a couple of years. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Hannah and her love and care of my beloved four legged crew (1 dog and 2 cats). If you're like me, it's a daunting thing to leave your fur babies in the care of someone else. Choosing Hannah as your caregiver is an easy choice. Even after moving away from town, she's stayed in touch and has come back to visit my sweet pup when back in town. If that doesn't demonstrate how much she cares, nothing else will! She's been my favorite dog sitter and it was a such a bummer when she moved. When someone loves your pets as much as you do, it so reassuring so don't think twice about having Hannah watch your animals. We love her!”
