Availability

After much consideration for clients' wellbeing as well as my own, I will no longer be providing drop-in services on work days. Boarding may be arranged with notice. New hours begin May 11th. For the time, I can only guarantee availability on the weekends. Thank you for the years of fun, puppy kisses, head boops, and support as I navigated my way into the medical sphere.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in yard and a constant supply of treats and toys. Dogs are allowed on furniture and most areas of the house, excluding the master suite, which is the cats' safe area. When doing drop-ins for cats, I will allow time for the cats to warm up to me, ensuring that they feel safe and are well-cared for. I'm happy to care for other small pets as well.

Information Hope B. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any triggers, does not like cats, etc. I have dogs, cats, kids, and small pets (caged) in my home. While I love pitties, I also need to know if they are pit/pit mixes due to local ordinances. All boarders are required to be vaccinated and licensed per local ordinances. A pet that is not house-trained may incur extra fees.

A typical day

Our day starts with a nutritious breakfast (maybe including eggs, if you allow). Then the pups have some outside time to play, potty, etc. There is always a bowl of water and toys in the yard. Later, we will have structured exercise time, going for a walk or playing fetch. If they like car rides, they may ride along to pick kids up from school or run errands. Dinner and more play time will come before bed. Let me know where they prefer to sleep at home so I can make them comfortable :)

Pet care experience

*Owner of Branch Pet Care - Look us up on Facebook! I grew up with cats and dogs, but I've always loved all kinds of animals. I worked in a shelter for over 2 years, during which time I was in charge of the enrichment program for dogs and cats, and I obtained certification in Shelter Animal Behavior. I loved working with shy and special-needs dogs the most. (I currently have a rescued snake and ferrets, as well as cats and dogs.) I have some medical knowledge, and I am expanding that by attending school for a vet tech certification.

We've booked with Hope three times now. She's always kind, responsive and our cats seem to enjoy her check-ins too. She allows us to enjoy our time away without stress and worry. She's the perfect example is what a Rover sitter should be.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
