Safety, trust & environment

I have one friendly dog living at home that would keep your pet company. If needed, I also have the means to keep your pet and their crate/food bowl in a separate space. I will ensure your pet’s area stays clean and dry and that they always have access to water (and food as needed).

Information Hope C. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any special needs or behaviors that need to be accounted for. This can include things like medication administration, feeding times, walking schedules, or boundaries with other animals and/or humans. I would also like to know if your pet can walk in a group or if they preferred to be walked alone.

A typical day

I will keep your pet entertained and satisfied, both physically and mentally. I’m always down for playing with your pet using toys, including food puzzles or lick mats. I also love going on walks or, if your pet is comfortable, heading to a dog park or other pet-friendly public space. For the more laid back pets, I’m always up for cuddles and a nap!

Full-time student and pet lover!

Pet care experience

I have had dogs as pets since I was 7 years old. From an early age, I quickly found my love for animals and gained a great sense of responsibility as I cared for them. Throughout high school, college, and beyond, I have had experience in watching the pets of many friends, family members, and coworkers. I enjoy spoiling them and treating them as my own! Currently, I have a 3.5-year-old Pekingese named Petunia! I adopted her when she was 15 weeks old, so I have some experience in potty/behavioral training for puppies. My care for other people's pets has included daily walks/potty breaks, along with some overnight stays.

My sweet boy loves Hope! We’ve been booking with Hope for over a year now every week and I always feel that he is in safe hands and has a great time. Thank you Hope!
