Pet care experience

I can’t wait to help you!

I have had dogs in my home my whole life. When I was young, I started to learn responsibility by taking care of our pets. I’ve spent years walking, feeding, and grooming dogs. When any of my friends, family, or neighbors go out of town, I am their first call for a pet sitter. I have experience with all sizes of dogs and a variety of breeds, including German Shepherds, St. Bernards, and Pitbulls. I have had rescue dogs that need extra care and love due to their past, and am patient and gentle with those that are nervous. I also have experience with puppies, as I have raised some of my pets. I can even help with commands like sit, stay, and place. There is not a dog in the world I wouldn’t love!

Hope was so attentive to our cat Walter when we were out of town. We loved getting photo updates and could tell she genuinely enjoyed spending time with our boy! She responded very quickly to all messages. We greatly appreciate her loving care for our kitty and highly recommend her services!

Hope was incredible with our little one! We traveled over the holiday and were a little worried as this was the first time we would be away during the Christmas holiday. Hope was consistent in communication and sent the best pictures. We highly recommend booking with Hope!!

Safety, trust & environment

If your pet were to come stay with me in my home, they would be in a very clean and comfortable apartment. There is a balcony that they would not be able jump over or squeeze through, but they can enjoy the sun and fresh air! We have a fenced in dog park area, and per your request, I can either let your pet explore while it is empty, or take them to socialize with the others. If I am coming into your home to care for your pet, I will follow the guidelines you provide me exactly. I will always ensure the door is locked behind me, and that your home stays tidy as you’ve left it. I will make sure your pet comfortable as well, since it is also their home I will be coming into!

Pets

A typical day

There are many areas around my apartment that your pet and I can explore. We can take long walks around the outskirts of the city or play in the dog park. I love playing outside with dogs as it keeps me active as well, so we can run around as much as their heart desires. If your pet likes to play tug-of-war, they’ve met their next best challenger in me! Though my apartment is a studio, it has a great layout that serves as a race track for the zoomies. I do allow pets on my furniture, but if you would like me to refrain from that, so they don’t learn bad habits at home, I will make sure I enforce your rules. I will provide endless cuddles and pets, and, of course, treats in moderation!

If your pet is a senior that needs extra care, rest assured, they are in good hands with me. If I have not adopted a pet as a puppy, or kitten, I have always rescued a senior. I have experience with older dogs and cats and will always make sure they are comfortable. If you have a young one, I will make sure they get all their energy out, so they can sleep hard and wake up ready to do it again. The teething phase also does not bother me one bit, so I can help them through it!
