trainer, groomer, & sitter

Pet care experience

I have shown, groomed, & trained dogs since the year of 2008. I have worked underneath several professional handlers & groomers. I am particularly familiar with dog breeds including Australian Shepherds, Golden Retrievers, Bernese Mountain Dogs, Labrador Retrievers, and many other breeds. I am available to groom, train, and of course walk or dog sit. I really enjoy teaching dogs and creating a bond with them. It makes me happy that owners like you spend time looking for qualified people to work with your pets...as they do become your family. I have raised several puppies and trained many dogs in my life. This sort of work is perfect for me as I am an online college student. I look forward to meeting your special pets!

We have two really large dogs (one on several meds) and two indoor cats. This is the first time we have left someone in our house for five days to take care of them. Hope was AMAZING. She was professional, responsible, knowledgeable, friendly and extremely competent. Having Hope in our house and caring for our pets was a great experience. We were able to relax and enjoy our time away because of the confidence we had in her. I received daily pictures and/or videos from her and it was very obvious my pets were happy and well cared for. I will DEFINITELY call Hope anytime I need someone to watch my pets! We are EXTREMELY happy with Hope and our experience with her!

This wonderful, responsible, charismatic young woman exhibits more skills than you require, I assure you. She has an innate ability to connect with animals large and small. Has worked with top handlers in the nation, and shown her dogs at numerous competitions since she was 9 years old, including Nationals in PA, MO, and Westminster in New York City! She has a broad-based knowledge in showmanship and grooming for more breeds than one knows exists; toy, miniature, standard, large, etc., etc. I could not even begin to list her accolades collected over the years showing her own dogs and for many others whom have sought out her talent for their own brood as she is quite the young handler. She is now finishing her sophomore year in college and has future ambitions/endeavors for joining the elite Marine Corps. Give this girl a shot, you won’t be disappointed!!!

Information Hope M. would like to know about your pet

I need to know the overall temperament of the dog, ex. timid, aggressive, relaxed, or hyper. I have handled small breeds, medium sized breeds, & large breeds, so I have no breed preferences.

A typical day

I really enjoy taking walks with views. I believe new scents, scenery, & experiences are what make up a dogs personality. These experiences can be positive or negative, which is why an experienced handler is always the better option when entrusting a beloved pet with a person.
