15. Hannah A.

“5-Star Review for Hannah Hannah did an absolutely fantastic job babysitting my three dogs—Cooper, Cameron, and Anita! She was especially great with Anita, who has tons of energy and needs constant engagement. Hannah kept her entertained and active, which is no small feat! I came home to three happy, healthy dogs and a well-cared-for house, which gave me such peace of mind while I was away. I also really appreciated that Hannah stayed for the full agreed-upon time, even with our extended travel delays late into the evening. It’s clear she is responsible, reliable, and truly cares about the pets she watches. I’ll definitely be using Hannah’s services again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive pet sitter!”

She has a real heart for animals.”

“Isabella has babysat for us on several occasions. Our precious dog, Snowbell loves when she comes over. Isabella did a great job with our dog. She gave Snowbell lots of attention and was very competent dogsitting for us. Our dog was diagnosed with kidney failure recently. Isabella was very kind to Snowbell, cuddled with Snowbell alot, fed her with a spoon. Isabella was planning to come over again to help with Snowbell the Monday after Thanksgiving but Snowbell passed away.”
