Lifelong animal lover

Pet care experience

I’ve been taking care of animals since I was 13years old (now 32) and even helped in a pet store that was family owned. I have three dogs, a cat, and two ferrets of my own. I LOVE animals of all kinds. On date nights my husband and I like to go play with the animals at local pet stores and humane shelters just so they can get some love in while waiting on a forever home! (I would adopt everyone of them if I could!) I do offer multi animal discounts as well, so be sure to ask about that! I’m a dog trainer and run my own photography business downtown. So, I design my own schedule. This means I have a bit more flexibility than most. Making it easy for me to love on more pets. I have experience caring for elderly dogs who are struggling to get around. If your doggo needs a friend, I’m happy to provide a good play session & a snuggle! I’m even happy to create your pup, help with basic training you may be working on, or just Giving them some love and snuggles! (My dogs do NOT have to come with me to tend to your fur babies!)

I have watched Hope care dearly for her Scottish terrier & also for her 3 childrens many house pets. The kindness she treats animals with is exemplary. I can recall one time a squirrel on her front lawn became injured from jumping too high. Hope not only took the squirrel under her care, but managed to help this animal fully recover & continued to purchase it a lovely tree home! Hope shows this same kindness and generosity to others pets as well which is why I have no doubt in my mind that she would make the best sitter, dog walker, and animal lover for all and any of your pets needs. I highly recommend having Hope care for your animals, they will return to your arms more loved and cared for than when you left them in her loving arms.
