Treating Every Pet Like Family
I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life—a gathering just isn’t complete without a four-legged friend! For nearly ten years, I was lucky enough to share my life with two English Mastiffs who were truly part of my family. I sadly lost them both two years ago and still miss them dearly. These days, I’m a proud cat mom to Maggie, my five-year-old rescue tabby/calico, whom I adopted from a shelter when she was three. She’s truly the light of my life! I believe pets are family, no matter whose home they belong to. They deserve to feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away, and I’d be honoured to give your pets that same patience, attention, and affection. Whether they need a walk, some playtime, extra cuddles, or simply a calm companion, I’ll treat them like my own.

Safety, trust & environment
Your pets’ safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I understand how important it is to know that your pets are in caring, trustworthy hands when you’re away. I’m happy to follow their normal routine as closely as possible, whether that means feeding, walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping them company. I’ll take the time to get to know each pet’s personality, needs, and comfort level so they feel safe and at ease. I’ll treat your home with the same care and respect I give my own, and your pets like they’re part of my family. You can feel confident knowing they’ll receive plenty of love, attention, and dependable care while you’re away.
Ratings and reviews
Hope was always on time to come and walk my dog Libby, she really got accustomed to Hope coming and enjoyed seeing her! Hope is a very fun and positive person and dogs can feel it 🤗
I couldn’t recommend Hope more for pet walking and care taking! She has always had such a natural love for animals and is incredibly caring, patient, and attentive. She treats every pet like her own and makes sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. She’s responsible, trustworthy, and truly goes above and beyond. Any pet parent would be lucky to have her care for their furry family member!
I have known Hope for 15 years and she has cared for my cat Lucy on numerous occasions during this time. Hopes goes above and beyond the basic physical needs of animals providing genuine affection, attention and care. Hope is very respectful of property. I would recommend Hope to anyone looking for a dependable, kind and capable person to look after their home and pets.

Schedule
I work a regular weekday schedule from 8 AM–4 PM, with my workplace located about 30 minutes outside of Parry Sound. I’m available for morning walks before work, evening walks after work, and walks throughout the weekend. For drop-in visits, evenings and weekends work best for me, but I’m always happy to work with you and your pet’s routine whenever possible. My goal is to make things easy.

- Tell me anything that will help me get to know your pet—from their personality and routine to their favourite things, quirks, and any special care they need. I’m comfortable with puppies, seniors, and dogs with special needs, and I’m happy to adapt to each pet’s individual needs. For everyone’s safety and comfort, I’m not the right fit for dogs with significant aggression or reactivity.
