We will miss Hannah when she goes out of town but can t wait for her return! She s our favorite walker! She always gives me updates on his behavior daily and it feels like he s really learning and improving with her!

I love knowing Hannah is walking Chip because she now knows him (as a preferred walker of mine) and even works with him on promoting positive behaviors! This makes me so happy as I know he is improving and thriving in her care! What a gem!

Anna-Grace O.

Hannah was so sweet with Chip. She gave him lots of cuddles and inquired with me when she was unsure of something which was very reassuring! She s thoughtful and kind- would use again for sure!
