Snuggles & Love

I’ve been rescuing, fostering, and loving dogs for nearly 25 years—and it truly shows. From tiny 4-lb lap dogs to gentle 180-lb giants, I currently sit dogs up to 40 pounds. I’ve cared for pups of every size, age, and energy level (from couch potato to professional zoomie champion). My home currently includes a special-needs senior rescue and five happy rescues—so I’m very comfortable with different personalities, routines, and care needs. I’m big on consistency, structure, and lots of love. Your dog’s routine stays as close to “home normal” as possible, and while they’re with me, they’re treated like part of the family—not just a guest. To make sure we’re the perfect match and your pup gets the best care, I’ll ask a few things before booking: • What’s their daily schedule? • Are they dog-friendly? (Important since I have pups of my own.) • Any allergies, medications, or special care needs? • Where do they usually sleep—bed, crate, or cuddled up with you? If you’re looking for a safe, dog-first home where your pup is truly loved, you’re in the right place 🐾

We’ve never used this kind of service before for our fur baby but it was such a great relief and experience. I didn’t feel any pressure to rush to pick her up. Hope was very welcoming and understanding. Highly recommend!!

Hope was great with our baby! I was afraid Freckles would be difficult, because she can be a little grumpy with unfamiliar dogs. Hope was patient and introduced each dog one at a time. Freckles even made a friend with Dolly. I will definitely use her again and I highly recommend her. Her home was very clean and plenty of toys to play with.

Hope was great. I had a puppy and she took him even though I realize puppies are not the easiest. She sent videos and pictures and responded anytime I had a question. He seemed to have a great time in the ball pit and with her dogs. I would definitely recommend her to others!

Hope took great care of our pack. The photos kept us in touch and the dogs all seemed at home.

Pets

A typical day

Lots of play time, plenty of snuggles and if they enjoy being in the car then we could take little drive as well. They are part of my daily life when they are with me.

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
Spayed and neutered dogs only
No females in heat
Hope can host up to 4 pets per night
I would like to know what they enjoy doing and if they are on any medications or have any health issues or limitations. I would also want to know their schedule and their temperament around other animals or people. I prefer to keep their schedules as close to the same as possible so they are more comfortable.
