Absolutely amazing. Great updates of going on walks, play times and updates during house sitting. Ben connected with our dogs from the start during the meet and greet which was great. Over all, this was a great experience and would definitely book Ben for future house sitting with our fur babies.

About: I’ve spent years caring for pets for friends and family, including pet sitting in my home, staying in their homes, walking dogs, cleaning kennels, and bathing. I also have three years of hands-on experience working at a doggie daycare and boarding facility, where I cared for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. This experience has given me strong skills in handling, supervising group play, maintaining safe environments, and understanding dog behavior. No matter the situation, I’m happy to work with your specific needs to make sure your pet is comfortable and well cared for. I truly love caring for animals and enjoy spending time with them outside of my regular work hours. Whether it’s the smallest pup, the biggest dog, or even cats—I love them all! I have plenty of love, attention, and care to give, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’ve had dogs my entire life, so I understand just how important it is to trust someone with your furry family members. As a pet owner myself, I know you want the very best for them—and that’s exactly the level of care I strive to provide. Your pet will be treated like part of the family, receiving all the affection, cuddles, and attention they could ever want.

About: Since I can remember, my family has always had at least 1 dog in the house. Typically more! I am very familiar with everything that it takes to care for a dog of any age or size. I'm currently working very part time. And the rest of my time is spent with my 3 kids and my fur babies. I have plenty of time and would love to give my time to your fur baby. No matter what, your dog will be carefully watched over and cared for. I have plenty of eyes to help keep your dog safe and sound!

About: I have over 30 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages. My love for animals started when I was young, walking dogs for neighbors and friends, and it quickly grew into a lifelong passion. As I got older, I volunteered at my local humane society and have continued providing trusted pet care for pets ever since. I have extensive experience working with dogs of all temperaments, including reactive dogs, dogs with separation anxiety, and dogs who may show aggressive behaviors. I’m patient, attentive, and always focused on creating a calm, safe, and positive environment for every dog in my care. In addition, I have experience with housebreaking as well as basic obedience training, and I’m happy to help reinforce routines and good habits during your pet’s stay. I have experience with house breaking and basic obedience training. I work part time from home which gives me a lot of flexibility to do what I’m most passionate about which is taking care of animals!

About: I have been an animal lover my entire life! I treat my cats like they are my children and I would do anything for them! I would take care of your fur babies as if they were my own! I also love dogs, I've had many dogs in my family growing up. I don't have the living space needed for a dog while living in an apartment. I would definitely have one if I were able! That's a big reason why you should let me pet sit for you! My availability is pretty open right now. I want to do a little something on the side besides other projects that I'm working on. They say that if you do what you love, you'll never work a day in your life! Pets definitely make me the happiest!! I like to keep the living space clean and sanitized, I clean litter boxes every day. I pick up poop while on dog walks. Also, while dog walking, if there's another dog near and the you're dog seems uncomfortable or threatened, I would move to the other side of the street or walk the other way to remove ourselves from the situation. Most animals, if not all, trust and love me back!

About: I have over five years of professional, hands-on experience in pet care. I have worked as a Pet Care Specialist, a Bather, and a Volunteer Dog Walker. I also have pets of my own! I am experienced in caring for pets of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. From energetic, bitey puppies to seniors needing extra attention, I provide personalized, compassionate, care that puts both pets and their owners at ease. Puppies: I have my very own puppy who I have raised since 8 weeks old, and I have also assisted in trainng several other puppies in basic obedience, crate training, and housebreaking using positive reinforcement techniques. I understand the importance of routine and consistency in shaping good behavior from an early age. Seniors: I have experience caring for older pets who undergo health and mobility issues. I am educated on medication needs and comfortable adminstering medications both orally and by injections. Im attentive to their comfort and gentle in handling, always keeping comfort, happiness, and health my main priority. Above all, I treat all pets like family - ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well-cared for! Pet care is a natural and fulfilling part of my daily routine! Whether it's early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening playtime, I structure my schedule around fulfilling pets needs. I currently have a fixed schedule which allows me to keep my calendar open and updated. Because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, pet care dosent feel like a task. It's something I look forward to and build into my life with care and commitment. When caring for pets in their own environment, I focus on maintaining their routine and minimizing stress. I keep to scheduled feedngs, walks, and any medications or special care instructions. I also keep the home tidy, provide updates to their owners (including photos!) and ensure their pet gets companionship and attention throughout my time. I adjust my care based on each pet's personality, whether they need lots of physical activity, snuggles, or extra patience.

Toby and Tinker did well with Theresa staying with them for 2 night, including 2 1/2 days. Theresa communicated well. She did a couple extra jobs I asked her to do, and even took her linens off the bed and washed them before we got home. This was the very first time either dog had spent the night without one of us. I would book Theresa again if she is available in the future when we might want her.

Hannah did a fabulous job with our elderly dogs. A work trip required a last minute need for our 2 dogs and I did not want to board them given their age. Both dogs have arthritis and our oldest is starting to lose his eyesight. A friend recommended the Rover app and after some searching and reading reviews we found Hannah. It all worked out very well in our home which was exactly what our dogs needed. I highly recommend Hannah for your pet sitting needs. Very responsible and attentive, will book again!
