A typical day

I’m an active girl! I get at least 15K steps per day, and I’d love to have a furry companion to join me. I also love playing with dogs, and will definitely keep them entertained! Dogs also love hanging out with me while I work, and they can cuddle up right next to me on the couch.

15+ Years of Dog Experience!

Pet care experience

Hi! I’m Hope. Originally from Wisconsin and now living on LA’s west side, I’ve always been a huge dog lover. I grew up with a black Lab and have yet to meet a dog I didn’t adore. My friends joke that dogs naturally gravitate toward me, and they almost always do. I don’t believe in simply “watching” dogs; I love spending time with them. Whether we’re going for long walks, playing fetch, exploring new smells, or heading to the beach, I make sure dogs get plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, and attention throughout the day. If your pup enjoys the sand and ocean breeze, there’s a good chance we’ll spend time at the beach tossing a ball, going for walks, and soaking up the sunshine together. I work remotely, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to provide plenty of attention, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. Dogs in my care receive a minimum of two 30-minute walks daily, along with additional outdoor time, enrichment activities, and lots of affection. My apartment is spacious, pet-friendly, and located in a quiet residential neighborhood. Whether your dog loves adventures or prefers cuddling on the couch, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and right at home. I’m a great communicator and will always keep you updated while you’re away. Please let me know about any routines, preferences, or special needs your dog has! I want to make their stay as enjoyable as possible.

Hope made sure our pup was getting her steps in!

Hope sent us lots of pictures and it was so clear from them just how much our anxious, antisocial dog absolutely adored her. Honestly, I think Beau loves Hope while he merely tolerates us.

Hope is hands-down the best dog sitter we have ever found! She took absolutely incredible care of Bleu. Not only did she make sure he got his daily walks but she also went above and beyond by taking him on some amazing adventures—including trips to the beach and even out to lunch! ​Hope kept us completely at ease by sending tons of updates and photos throughout his stay. It was so clear that Bleu was having the time of his life and being treated like family. He was incredibly happy and relaxed when he got home, and we know he is going to miss her terribly. ​If you want complete peace of mind and a sitter who will truly spoil your pup, hire Hope! We will definitely be booking with her again.
