Highlights
Pet care experience
Vet Student, Pet Lover Too
I’m currently a fourth year veterinary student at the University of Florida, pursuing my passion for animal care at the highest level. My journey into veterinary medicine began early. I've been offering pet sitting and dog walking services since middle school. To gain hands on experience, I’ve worked as a kennel attendant, where I was responsible for feeding, walking, and maintaining a clean, safe environment for pets. I’ve also worked as a veterinary technician, giving me experience in administering medications and monitoring animal health. What sets me apart from other sitters is my medical training and understanding of animal behavior and health. I’m confident and comfortable caring for pets with special medical needs, including administering daily medications and providing senior care. Whether your pet needs a walk, some company, or extra attention due to age or medical conditions, you can trust they’re in experienced, compassionate hands.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in a client’s home, safety, trust, and comfort are my top priorities. I maintain a calm, clean, and consistent environment that helps pets feel secure in their familiar surroundings. Since I don’t have pets of my own, I’m fully available to focus on your pet’s needs and can easily accommodate overnight stays or extended care. I respect each home as if it were my own keeping it tidy, following all instructions carefully, and maintaining open communication with owners. With my background in veterinary medicine, I’m also attentive to subtle changes in behavior or health, ensuring your pet stays happy, safe, and well cared for.
Ratings and reviews
Hope took great care of our special needs kitties, meds/food schedule, and home. Well-organized, good communication, trust-worthy, comprehensive care, good vibes with the pets.
I highly recommend Hope to other pet parents. She took the best care of my senior dog, made sure he ate (picky eater) , had lots of outdoor time and love. I got lots of photos and communication was excellent. Made me feel very secure while leaving overnight. In addition Hope lefty home in perfect condition. I am grateful to have found her and will use her again.
We’re so grateful to have found Hope! She had no problem dealing with our epileptic, special needs Great Weimar and our senior bully mix, who both need meds every 12 hours. Historically, it’s always been difficult for us to travel without either taking our dogs with us, or having to rely on a combination of multiple neighbors, dog sitters, and friends to fill in the gaps to keep our dogs fed, medicated, and their storm anxiety under control in our absence. Hope graciously spent her break hanging out our pups so we could enjoy our friend’s wedding and trip out west without ever having to worry about whether our dogs’ needs were being met. We highly recommend her to other pet owners and have no doubt that she’s going to be a fabulous veterinarian. We just wish we’d found her sooner and that she’d stick around Gainesville longer, because we already know we our floofs will miss her when she moves on to the next chapter.
Hope is a wonderful house sitter! Our dogs love her and she was great about updating us everyday with pictures!
We had a wonderful experience with Hope! She communicated clearly and consistently, took excellent care of our pets, and left our house spotless. It gave us great peace of mind knowing everything was in such good hands. Highly recommend!
We highly recommend Hope as a pet sitter! As a veterinary student, she brings a wealth of knowledge and genuine care to every interaction with our pets. Our dog and cats absolutely adore her, she’s become a favorite in our household. Hope is always punctual, responsible, and goes above and beyond every time she cares for them. Our dog especially looks forward to their playtime and walks together. Beyond her professionalism, Hope is an absolute delight to work with, warm, attentive, and trustworthy. We always feel at ease knowing our pets are in such capable and loving hands.

Schedule
As a fourth year veterinary student at the University of Florida my schedule can vary. While my hours vary, I always review my upcoming schedule in advance so I can commit to pet care responsibilities I can fully and reliably manage. I only accept bookings that I know I can dedicate time and attention to, ensuring each pet gets the quality care they deserve.
