“Look no Further, Hannah is the responsible pet caregiver you have been looking for! We have had Hannah take care of our cats for over 15 years now and have never been disappointed.

She always takes her time to talk , play and snuggle and love on our cats to make sure they are feeling loved and taken care of. Hannah comes with years of experience with working wit pets. You can tell she truly has a heart and passion to work with a variety of animals. We also feel rest assured our pets are safe when Hannah comes and takes care of them when we are away on vacation. I high recommend her pet caregiving services.”


17. Amanda G.
About: Being around animals all my life, I knew from an early age I wanted to work around them. I was an Animal Control Officer for 3 years, and fell in love with every pet I came across. Seeing the ugly side of pet ownership made me treat every pet with so much love in hopes they would remember what it’s like to be loved. Working as a substitute at a school district, I have plenty of free time to get other duties done as well as other chores to be finished. I am always aware of doors that are being opened and things that shouldn’t be in reach. I am always on my feet to ensure everyone is safe.


18. Channing B.
“Channning will make sure your animal is loved as if it was her own. She is very reliable and capable of making sure that she meets the pets needs. She will also keep you updated on the pet so you can relax knowing your pet is loved and safe.”


19. Ashley S.
“Ashley is great with dogs. Always taking them on walks, trained properly, exercising with them. She’s watched a few of my dogs at times and i swear they wanted to stay with her instead of me afterwards!”


20. John & Kristin H.
“John H. has been a wonderful, reliable, trustworthy resource for our family. Our pets absolutely love him and are spoiled rotten! We have an elderly pup, a rambunctious pup and three spoiled Persians. All get the love and attention you’d hope for while you’re away. From walks, to giving medications to just plain attention and care, you won’t find a better pet sitter.”
