House Sitting in Valdez

“We had initial concerns about leaving our boy with a stranger. Hannah had him relaxed and friendly in a no time at initial meeting and when we left. She kept us informed about his activities and he was comfortable in the house alone where in the past he has remained immobile at the door we exited from. She gave him medications and followed his activity restrictions while he finished healing from eye injury. Our sense is that he really liked being with her as his caretaker.”

About: I moved to Valdez AK summer of 2017 from Florida, I grew up on a farm so always had a love for animals. That summer I heard of an elderly woman needing someone to care for her pets while she went to a Drs appointment in the lower 48, so I volunteered my time for 5 days. When she returned I got a message from her overjoyed of how healthy and happy her pets were and how spotless her home was, she was relieved and was able to settle in without worry, The following week the calls began, word of mouth spreading like wild fire I became a guy in demand with 100% of my clients returning. I have experience with all sorts of pets (Cats and dogs) ranging from bit older to a few months, I have clients with medical conditions needing daily medication some with dietary needs. I have clients who have separation anxiety and some who don’t like other men or even children or other pets. I have clients who have ran away from every other pet sitter the owners have left them with and yet they stay glued to me like white on rice. Im able to form a bond with animals easily I can read and understand the mannerisms of animals easily and able to help them adjust and become comfortable and at ease. I don’t just open the door and say ok go potty or go outside for a bit, I take them on adventures and yes even the older ones get to go on a small adventure making them feel like a puppy again! I’ve been called the pet whisperer of Valdez by many. Your pet won’t need for anything under my care may it be dog walking or even pet day care or sitting for weeks at a time while ( and yes I board cats) or even some simple training or even a good ole grooming! My expertise is well versed when it comes to pets care/needs. Soo treat your pet to that vacation like experience don’t settle for less! I’m currently working on getting a few certifications and working on going to school for grooming. Anything pet related, this has become my profession this is what I live for and I love and I’m blessed to say this is my full time job, I can sit up to 5 pups at a time without issues they will all get the best care and individual lovings they need,I’ve been doing this a long time and am more then capable of making sure every pet is living there best lives! My home is not only pet friendly it is a home, many of my clients owners see my house and ask are you sure? your home is nice. Well do you want your pet living like a king/queen or locked up in a cage while you go on vacation or what not! I live in town, very close to some amazing trails and pet friendly spots to go explore, the dog park is just a few blocks down the way! They will be able to take in the fresh Alaska air and feel free and not locked up.
