Pet Sitting Good Hope

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember! I grew up surrounded by cats and dogs, and over the years, I've gained hands-on experience caring for animals of all ages, breeds, sizes, and personalities. My experience goes beyond everyday pet care. I've attended obedience training classes with several of my own dogs and worked closely with a professional dog trainer to better understand canine behavior, body language, and the individual needs of each animal. This has helped me develop a patient, attentive approach to caring for dogs with different personalities, including those who may need extra time, reassurance, or structure to feel comfortable. I've cared for puppies, senior dogs, and pets with special medical needs. My experience includes administering oral medications, assisting with post-surgery recovery, caring for rescue puppies, and helping dogs work through separation anxiety. I also have experience providing overnight care for cats, including feeding, playtime, litter box maintenance, and helping a rescued kitten adjust to a new home. At home, I'm a proud pet parent to Nala, my 11-year-old Greyhound/Shepherd mix, and Koda, my 5-month-old Chiweenie! We also share our home with my roommates' two senior dogs, giving me daily experience caring for dogs of different ages, breeds, sizes, and personalities. Living in a multi-dog household has taught me the importance of recognizing each dog's individual needs, understanding their body language, and maintaining a safe, comfortable environment where every dog feels loved and secure. I'm a firm believer that every pet deserves more than just the basics. Whether it's reinforcing their favorite tricks, enjoying a walk, engaging in playtime, or providing extra affection, I make an effort to connect with each animal and understand what makes them happy. I also know how important routine and consistency are to a pet's well-being. When caring for someone else's furry family member, one of my first priorities is learning their established schedule, habits, and preferences so I can provide a familiar, comfortable experience while their owner is away. I will treat your pets with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own! I'm an early bird, usually starting my day around 5 a.m., and I currently work part-time three days a week with a fairly flexible schedule. This allows me to make time for pet care throughout the week and accommodate a variety of schedules. Caring for my own dogs is already an important part of my daily routine, so incorporating walks and drop-in visits for your furry family members is something I genuinely look forward to! I understand that pets thrive on consistency, and I'll do my best to accommodate their established feeding, walking, and bathroom schedules. Whether your pet needs an early morning potty break, a midday walk, or some extra attention and companionship while you're away, I'm happy to discuss a schedule that works for you and your pet's needs. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities! I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and individual needs, and I take the time to get to know them so I can provide care that feels familiar and reassuring. Before caring for your pet, I'll make sure I understand their feeding and bathroom schedules, medical needs, behavioral tendencies, and any household rules or special instructions. I believe maintaining consistency is especially important when their favorite humans are away, and I'll do my best to keep their daily routine as normal as possible. For pets who may be shy or anxious, I take a calm, patient, and confident approach. I never want an animal to feel pressured into interacting with me. Instead, I give them the space to observe, explore, and approach me when they're comfortable, allowing trust to develop naturally. I'm also comfortable following detailed care instructions, including administering medications when needed. During walks and drop-in visits, I'll remain attentive to your pet's behavior, comfort, and surroundings to help ensure they have a safe and positive experience. And one of my favorite parts of pet sitting? Sending photo updates! I love capturing those little moments that let you see what your furry family member is up to while you're away. You can expect regular updates and photos so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is in caring hands.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was 5 years old. I have a lot of experience with both little and big dogs. My Golden Retriever recently passed away which was hard on me, but I want to continue showing love and spending time with dogs. They’re amazing animals and I want to continue spending time with them so that my daughter also grows up being a dog lover. I’m currently working from home twice a week which will allow me to be with your pet all day. I will be able to take them on multiple potty breaks throughout the day. I will also be able to take them on walks in the morning and/or in the evenings. Most importantly they won’t feel lonely since I will be there all day with them. I enjoy having dogs indoors so for hot and raining days I will have them indoors where they will be comfortable and have space to play. I also have a backyard where they can run and play if they need fresh air. I live in a great neighborhood therefore I’ll be able to take them on morning and/or evening walks.

About: I've always had a family dog since I was born. I'm responsible and have house-sat many times over the years for friends and friends of friends. I'm currently in college, so I have evenings and early mornings available. As well as Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I can stay overnight or just come by a few times a day. I focus heavily on the health and happiness of my own pets, this includes regular vet visits, choosing healthy food options, and providing enrichment (either by providing things for them to do without me, or playing with them throughout the day).

“Kim is absolutely AMAZING. She is thorough, thoughtful, caring and knowledgeable. We needed a same day request for our cat and dog and she was able to accommodate. My past experience with Rover was fine. I came back, but I wasn’t expecting much more than hopefully finding someone to water and feed our pets. Kim found time for a meet and greet before we left and made sure everything and everyone was prepped. She built in additional requests to the engagement like an additional stop in on one day. She filled out cards on each visit while we were away and sent pictures with them so we knew how our boys were doing while we were away. This was the first time we got back from being away that our pets didn’t give us the cold shoulder 🤣 They were so well cared for, happy and comfortable it was as if we weren’t even gone. She was just an incredible delight to work with and I plan to book with her anytime I need to be away.”

About: I have over 30 years of experience with dogs and cats that were just born babies to fully grown and elderly. Growing up, my family would take in pets whos owners had past away. This included many different breeds, but also most of them were elderly that needed some extra love and care. I also had my own range of pets from fish to frogs to mice to geckos growing up and of course cats and dogs. I have 6 years as a desert tortoise biologist and love all kinds of pets. I recently started a part time job, so I am flexible and mostly at the house. I am able to board pets starting from 5pm to 8pm and can start daycare for most days at 7am. We have a yard with a fenced off runner and a separate grassy area for your pups to play in and do their business. We do have a cat, but we have a gate that can separate the upstairs from the downstairs. We have plenty of room for kennels or crates if your fur baby needs them.

About: With pet care experience, I stand out by offering training for puppies and providing PTSD Therapy for both pets and owners. My dedication and unique skills ensure a secure, nurturing, and healing environment for your beloved complains. Pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily routine, thanks to my flexible work-from-home schedule. I’m available from 7 m. to 7 p.m. every day except every other Sunday. During dog walks, I prioritize your pet’s well-being, carrying a water bottle with an attached bowl, eco-friendly poops, end of walk treat, safe and dog-friendly trails, and parks.

“Ana was Amazing! I was worried about leaving my cats for a week, especially because one of them is shy around new people, but my cats really seemed to like Ana. I felt very comfortable with the whole process. She even offered to water my plants! I will definitely reach out to her again if we need a sitter.”

“I think she’s very nice and would be great for my dog.”

“Highly recommend Shaun! It’s clear they genuinely care about animals and took great care of our dogs while we were away for the evening. Everything went smoothly, and we felt completely at ease knowing they were in good hands!”

About: I know what it’s like to be an anxious mom to a furbaby and wonder if your pet sitter will show up the way you need them to. I have had four dogs since the age of 12 and love them more than anything else! I also had 3 cats when I was younger :) I will do everything in my power to show your babies love and give them top rated care! I currently have open availability and pet sitting is my sole job. I am able to care for senior pets and provide pills as well. :) reach out with any questions! I just moved here from Chicago and right now I’m just babysitting so I haven’t a lot of flexibility and time to care for your baby! I do not offer services at my home at this time but look forward to working with your pets and providing them with the highest level of care and adhering to all routines

About: Hi, my name is Gianna, i’m 18 years old. I have much experience with dogs, my family owns many dogs, one of each size. I can promise your animals will be safe with me, i also get along very well with cats, i have one of my own. I’ve understood that cats take very long to get used to and comfortable around new people and i am patient enough for that. Every morning before work, i let my aunts 4 dogs outside. i fill their food and water bowls as i take them out around 9 am. i bring in my aunts Argentinian dogo’s food bowl at 5pm (very big dog btw LOL) and throw in extra boiled chicken that they have made for him already. I try to help as much as i can with them. I care for pets by ensuring their physical, emotional, and social needs are met, whether in my own home or a client’s. This includes feeding them the right diet, providing fresh water, and offering daily exercise through walks or play. I also monitor their health for any signs of discomfort. I always make sure I create a safe, comfortable environment for my clients pet it is a top priority. I also communicate closely with pet owners to ensure all specific care instructions are followed and address any concerns promptly.

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with plenty of experience caring for pets with all kinds of personalities, energy levels, and quirks. Whether your fur baby is a professional couch potato, a four-legged tornado, or somewhere in between, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. I understand that every pet has their own routine, preferences, and little things that make them comfortable. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, medications, exercise, playtime, and, of course, plenty of attention and belly rubs. I’m also comfortable caring for pets who need a little extra patience or supervision. My goal is simple: while you’re away, I want your pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved, while they wait for their favorite human to return. I’m currently a full-time student, but most of my classes are online, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of free time. This allows me to be available for walks, drop-ins, sitting, and giving your pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and make sure they get the care and companionship they need while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality and make sure they feel comfortable with me and their surroundings. I’m attentive to doors, gates, leashes, and anything else that could create a safety concern. I also keep you updated while you’re away and am happy to send photos or check in so you know your pet is doing well. When caring for pets in your home, I treat your space with the same care and respect I would expect for my own.

Im currently working part time, so I have a lot of time to spend with your pet! I’m available on weekdays M-Thu all day and Fri-Sun until 9pm. 💕 Your pet’s comfort and safety come first! I provide gentle, attentive care, respect their routines, and create a loving, stress-free environment filled with reassurance. For check-ins, I make sure your dog has fresh water, food if needed, a potty break, attention, playtime, and a clean, comfortable space before I leave. For walks, I keep your dog safely leashed, follow their preferred pace, allow sniffing, provide encouragement, and make sure they return home happy and comfortable.

“THank you so much for playing with my baby!”

About: Growing up my neighbors and family friends knew I adored animals and I was responsible and reliable so I always took care of their animals on summer breaks for them! I am currently a stay at home mom and I care for my 16 year old poodle mix and my 6 month old chihuahua. I have a gated court yard and backyard. I have a gated courtyard with turf grass dog friendly and two other dogs to keep your dogs company. We also have a dog park in my community that my dogs frequent and I have a crate in case this is needed for your dog for training purposes.

About: I've grown up with dogs, raised my 3 adult children around dogs. Just welcomed a dachshund into our home. He's sleep / crate trained and fully potty trained. His current schedule is sleeping through the night 7pm to 6am and is in his crate for 3 90min to 2 hour naps a day. When he's awake he's home with us. I'm hoping to offer overnight and Wknd per care for 1 other small / medium dog where my dachshund can accompany me. This gives me time away from my busy household to earn extra money for my family. I will cater to unique walking, sleeping, feeding and care schedules. I'm very active and looking forward to having a walking buddy for myself and my pup.
