Engineering Major Who Loves Animals
Pet care experience
I've been dog-sitting for my neighbors since I was 12, have had a dog since I was 7, and rescued three cats a few years back. I grew up on a rescue farm, so while I have plenty of experience with dogs and cats, I take care of sheep, goats, chickens, horses, donkeys, mules, alpacas, birds, and even fish regularly. Whatever animal needs you have, you can trust me to take care of them. I would love to take your dog(s) on walks, hikes, or to a dog park, or just chill with your dog(s)/cat(s) if that’s more their style!
Reviews
Hope has been FANTASTIC. She has been walking my dog for two weeks now. She always makes sure he has water and is settled before leaving. Highly recommend!
Hope was very caring to our dog while we were gone. She took him out several times during the stay.She also sent us pictures of him which may our day out so easy to enjoy. Besides having someone taken care of our furry friend we have found a good friend. Anyone who hires Hope would be very happy.
About Hope K.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I prioritize their safety and comfort. I ensure they follow their usual feeding and walking schedule to maintain consistency in their routine. The living area is kept clean and secure, and I make sure to provide plenty of playtime and attention. I also stay attentive to any special dietary or medical needs the pets may have. Communication with pet owners is crucial, so I provide regular updates to keep them informed about their pet’s well-being.
Information Hope K. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog(s)/cat(s) have any triggers, allergies, medications, or anything else that you would like me to know. I always bring water and a bowl for dogs during walks, but feel free to tell me if your pet(s) like/need any treats or toys and I would be happy to accommodate! It would be great to be provided with your pet(s) vaccination and medical paperwork, along with any vet or emergency numbers, especially if I will be with your pet(s) for an extended period. I always bring an animal first aid kit with me, however, my only knowledge is from experience and I am not a professional.
A typical day
I have experience taking care of high-energy dogs and I can endure extended walks, hikes, and jogs. I'm also used to having to play with 3 or more toys at a time if your dog doesn't quite understand the idea of fetch. I grew up with three cats so I'm not afraid of getting scratched/bitten if your cat is playful! I would also love to just give your dog(s)/cat(s) attention and company if that's what they would rather do! I don't mind getting my car a little dirty, so if there is anywhere your pet(s) like/need to go, or if they just enjoy an occasional car ride, that is also something I can provide.
