"I'll take dogs on fun adventures."
Pet care experience
I adore all dogs, and I am available for most of the week. I grew up in a house with several dogs, and as a result, I have some grooming experience. I have worked with service dogs in the past, and I understand the responsibilities required with them. Also, I love going on adventures with dogs, so we could go to a new park, walk around town, or visit any new place you could think of. I am a patient person, especially with dogs, and I understand that for some dogs meeting a new person can be anxiety inducing. As a result, I am familiar with the patience and care needed for dogs with anxiety and attachment issues. Lastly, I am happy to work with dogs of any age ranging from young, energetic puppies to relaxed elderly dogs.
Reviews
Hope is wonderful to work with. Always does her best to help work with our schedule and take good care of the pups!
Hope is a sweet, gentle, and kind person that adores her own pet and has also been an excellent caregiver for our two dogs from the time they were puppies into their twilight years. Her peaceful spirit makes the dogs feel loved and they are always excited to see her. I would absolutely recommend Hope to care for anyone's pet. She has always demonstrated kindness and loving care and is very responsible with keeping the dogs on their normal schedule for feeding and walking. ❤️ Jennifer R.
Hope is wonderful with dogs! Everytime she meets a new dog, she works to make the dog feel so comfortable and happy with her. Her patience and care are unparalleled!

Information Hope L. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your pet is scared of anything—my own dog is incredibly nervous around buses, so anything you can think of to avoid triggering an anxiety response from your pets would be helpful. Also, please let me know any allergies/medical issues.
A typical day
We could go on walks to the dog parks, walk through a little forest-like area by me, play with tennis balls, I have fun peanut butter based enrichment toys, etc.

Availability
I currently work a hybrid schedule for my in office days, but that is super flexible, so I would shift my schedule to meet the needs of your request.
