About: Hi! I’m Hannah. I’ve had a dog or cat in my life since I was 5 years old. I have 2 healthy happy dogs of my own, Mollie and Mattie. Mattie is more shy and Mollie loves pets from anyone. I have experience with dogs of different ages and sizes/breeds. Let me take your stress away while you’re at work or vacation and care for your babies. I will always love them just like their my own while in my care.💛 Your dogs will be my second priority after caring for my own dogs each and every day. Their well-being and happiness will be a priority for me in my routine. I can crate, feed, walk your dogs, or whatever service you are needing to be stress free while at work or on vacation. Your babies will be loved and cared for like my own.
“Tia was amazing! Super responsive to text which was great and took amazing care of our dog! Our dog loved her and looking forward to using her in the future for walking or dog sitting”
“I landed in the ER and needed someone to walk my dog while I was in the hospital because my 92 yr old mother couldn't do it. I found Luke, who actually lived very close to my home. Luke is a very friendly, polite, courteous, and caring person who loves dogs. He took excellent care of my 15 yr old dog while I was in the hospital for a couple days and for two days after, which really helped me a LOT. Luke loves animals and I never worried about my dog while he was in Luke's care. Thanks so much Luke for all you did!”

Susie S.
“Susie dogsat/house sat my 3 dogs for a week and got way more than she bargained for! My youngest Golden ate a pair of socks the day before we left on vacation and ended up having emergency surgery the day that we left. Susie coordinated with my mom to have Teddy picked up from surgery and transported to the house, and from there she took care of everything! Susie and her daughter took care of Teddy after surgery as if he was her own! She slept on the couch with him at night since he couldn't go upstairs, took him out on a leash several times a day, gave him his medications at 2 a.m., fed him a special diet, kenneled him, etc., all while managing my other two big dogs. She did a fantastic job and had no qualms about taking care of Teddy. All three of my boys LOVED her and had a great time! She sent pics showing how happy they were, she took the two healthy ones for a walk, and swam with them in the pool. She even picked up pooper-scooped the yard! I would recommend her in a heartbeat and plan to use her services again later this month!”
