Pet care experience

As the owner-operator of a local pet care company, Hope’s Hounds, dog walking and pet care is my full time job. I have extensive experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds, and needs. I also offer care for cats, bunnies, horses, goats, pigs, chickens, birds, other exotics, and small animals of all kinds. As your pet care provider or dog walker I will listen and address all of your specific expectations, concerns, questions, and instructions for my time with your pet(s). During our complimentary meet & greet I will learn your pet's routine and we can go on a mini test-walk if you like. I send frequent updates, photos, videos, and Rover Cards to keep you updated throughout your pup's walk, drop-in, or visit.

Hope was fantastic going above and beyond the call of duty. She took her time to get to know my pets and our needs. She checked in often with clear communication and spent way more time than we agreed on in order to try to gain my pets confidence (which isn't easy). I was also pleasantly surprised at the number of little extras she provided that allowed me to come home to a more relaxed house (extra litter box cleaning, took out the trash, brought in the mail, etc). My three cats were not the usual needy when I come home which tells me they got plenty of attention while I was gone. Yes she a little more expensive than other offers but this was a great level of service and the extra $$$ clearly went into doing more. She also was comfortable with my special needs cat, who's issues often scare others off.

Hope was absolutely fantastic. Not only is she wonderful to work with, she is knowledgeable and has a great hand with the dogs. Leaving our doggies is never easy but Hope made the time away seamless. She provided fabulous and detailed reports daily, along with lots of pictures. We are thrilled to have found someone to care for our dogs long term and look forward to the next visit. Peace of mind is crucial when traveling and we thank you, Hope, for giving us that!

A typical day

We can go on long, leashed walks at the local city park, to the dog park for socialization, hit the mountain trails for a hike, or stay home to snuggle and watch movies. If your pup is into swimming I know the perfect little river beach in West AVL.
