“Samantha was wonderful with our cats! She sent lots of pictures and videos during their check-ins. She played with them, and gave them plenty of love. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone!”

About: Hi, I'm Hannah—Your Dog’s New Best Friend! I have a deep love for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. Whether it’s a playful puppy or a calm senior, I connect with each dog individually. My experience with my own rescue dog, who I trained over 12 years, has given me a unique understanding of caring for dogs at every stage of life. I’m reliable, communicative, and treat every pet like my own. I offer dog walks, playtime, potty breaks, and more—all tailored to your pet’s needs. I make sure they feel safe, loved, and happy, whether we’re walking, playing, or just hanging out. I’m available on weekends and Wednesdays & Fridays when I work from home. I can also do early morning or late evening drop-ins or walks on weekdays. Whether I’m caring for your dog at home or mine, their safety and comfort are my top priority. I take time to understand their routine, favorite activities, and any special needs so I can provide the best care. I also have a fenced backyard for safe playtime when needed.
“Baley was great with Lola. We had a few details to iron out on the first couple days, but she was reliable and Lola loved spending time with her. I am thankful that Baley was able to give the support and service she did along with the love and attention she needed while I was away. The daily updates and pictures were a great way for me to know that Lola was getting the care she needed.”
“Morgan and Zach were awesome, and spent time/sent picture of my pup. Especially with the thunderstorms that she hates, it was good to have a visit from friendly people that played with her. I’ll book again for sure!”

I do keep little Buttons crate over night but that is by Buttons preference (she just loves her crate) and she roams free during the day.

Hannah H.
“We feel so lucky to know and have Hannah to care for our two golden doodles! She has been absolutely amazing with both of them — our sweet 10-year-old who loves nothing more than a good cuddle and treats, and our energetic 5-year-old who’s always ready for action. Somehow, she meets both of their needs with ease, patience, and so much love. Hannah is incredibly responsible and dependable, which gives us so much peace of mind when we're away. She keeps us updated, always shows up on time, and genuinely treats our pups like family. One of the things we love most is how great she is at snuggling and comforting them — especially our older doodle, who just melts under her care. She’s everything you’d want in a dog sitter: patient, loving, trustworthy, and full of joy. We honestly couldn’t recommend her more — she’s been such a wonderful part of our dogs’ lives and ours too.”

“Kris has watched both my pets a number of times over the past ten years. Wiz, my dog, was more than happy to go to Kris's house when I was going out of town. He received a lot of attention and was made to feel at home so I it has always been a comfort to know Kris was taking care of my boy. Kris has also cared for my cat Kiwi here at my home and while Kiwi is somewhat ornery and stand-offish I was surprised to find Kiwi was actually welcoming to Kris. I recommend Kris to care for anyone's pet. She is attentive, loving and detailed.”
