Meet the founder
Hi, I’m Hannah, the heart behind Bark & Bloom. The cutie on the right is my girl, Willow :)
My journey began working in a boarding facility while putting myself through school. During that time, I discovered how much I loved understanding dogs. From their behavior, their routines, to what helps them feel safe. While working full time, I earned my associate’s degree in graphic design & advertising from Rowan-Cabarrus Community College, blending creativity with hands-on animal care experience.
Over the years, I stepped into leadership roles, managing dogs of all temperaments and strengthening my knowledge in behavior and safety. I take slow approaches, have first aid knowledge, and am deeply committed to providing care that prioritizes comfort and trust.
My shift toward more holistic, intentional care began with my own rescue, Willow. After struggling with ongoing allergies and limited relief from conventional treatments, we sought out a holistic veterinarian and began learning more about whole-food support, enrichment, and individualized care. Through research, community, and sharing our journey on Willow’s Instagram over the past two years, my perspective deepened.
Bark & Bloom is rooted from that experience.
I believe in knowing each dog personally and creating care plans that truly work, for them and for you. I can’t wait to meet your family and support your dog in a way that feels aligned and intentional.
Who we are
Bark & Bloom started from a simple place. It started with loving dogs deeply and believing they deserve more than just the basics.
We believe in slow sniff walks, muddy paws, steady routines, and those little confidence-building moments that help dogs feel secure. We believe enrichment isn’t extra, it matters. Dogs truly bloom when they feel safe and understood.
This isn’t high-volume care or a revolving door of bookings. It’s intentional, relationship-based support built on trust, for your dog and for you.
Because when you leave your pet with someone, it shouldn’t just be convenient. It should feel right.
We offer frequent updates with photos, details on how your animal is feeling, and any ongoing issues they may be having. We believe in transparency in order to have the best care for your dog.
