Animal Lover! Lots of Energy! Kind!

Pet care experience

I’ve lived with cats and dogs all my life. I’ve given dogs ear drops, bathed them, walked them, and always made sure they were comfortable. I’ve also given cats eye drops before. I’m calm and comfortable around animals, but if they love to run around and play, I can match that energy too! I’m a college student at the University of Pittsburgh, but all classes have been online due to the pandemic so I am available every day! My apartment is in the heart of Shadyside, in close proximity to Mellon park for nice long walks! I do have one cat but he primarily stays in my room and will keep to himself around other animals. I have two roommates who are both animal lovers! One has worked in a dog kennel and is very experienced with training and taking care of dogs.

A true cat lover!! I was so glad to find Hope when so many Rover providers are dog-focused. My kitty seemed so happy and non-stressed after Hope watched her while my husband and I went on our honeymoon. My daily updates from Hope were so sweet and gave me great peace of mind! The cat is happy, so I'm happy. Would 100% recommend.

Hope gave outstanding care to my dog, Luke. She took notes for me as to how the day went with Luke. Hope took care of all his needs from feeding, walking, keeping him safe and showing Luke affection. He immediately responded to her. You and your pet would be very pleased to have Hope take care of the needs of your pet. I highly recommend her. I will definitely contact Hope next time I'm in town. It was truly a pleasure to have Hope take care of my pride and joy. Hope thank you again.

Hope was super reliable and caring with Tucker. She shared full updates of her drop ins and spent time with Tucker in different ways (playing, cuddling...). She also called out that my water filter needed to be changed, which was super helpful. I’ve booked her several times now.

We booked Hope for drop-in visits for our cat when we left town on short notice. She took great care of the cat, followed our care instructions with attention to detail, and even made sure he had some play time with his toys each visit. We especially appreciated her daily updates and the great pictures of the cat that she sent! We definitely won't hesitate to ask Hope next time we are in need of a petsitter!

I have a small yard with no fence, but I am a ten minute walk to Mellon park and would love to take your dog on walks there. My roommates are ready and willing to give your pets some extra loving!

Information Hope P. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know of any dietary restrictions, health problems that I can cater to, how comfortable the dog is around new people, and any activities that they enjoy! I have no breed preference, all dogs are good dogs!

A typical day

We will go to Mellon park on walks and around the quiet streets of Shadyside. If they are comfortable being in a car, we can go to the off leash dog area at Frick park to play fetch and hangout with other dogs. I have a tub big enough for medium dogs if they need a bath.

I am not currently working, but may return to a part time job at the University of Pittsburgh in the 2020 spring semester. I am a full time student, but classes are all online so my availability is very flexible.
