Pet care experience

Every dog is treated as my own!

I recently moved back to the Fox Valley to be closer to family after running my own successful dog daycare and boarding business from my home for 15.5 years. I've also been a dog parent since 2004. Prior to opening my dog sitting business I worked as an assistant dog trainer for Dog's Best Friend Training using positive reinforcement training methods. I require a meet and greet for all new clients before confirming services so you and your dog(s) can meet me in person so we can discuss their care and so your dog(s) can become familiar with me.

Hope is a go-to sitter for us! Our dog LOVES his visits and always comes back happy and tired.

Hope watched our pup for a week and we had a great experience! She always sends photos, videos, and updates and keeps our mind at ease while we’re away.

We HIGHLY recommend Hope! Eddie has stayed with her multiple times and always has a wonderful time. He comes back happy and exhausted. We appreciate her excellent care and regular updates.

Addie had so much fun playing at Hope’s house with her rambunctious crew. I think she will sleep for days. Hope was very communicative and shared updates and pictures. Will definitely book here again!

Hope was very communicative about how things were going which was so helpful for our first visit. I loved the pictures and updates on our pup’s day. Hope’s experience helped me to feel good about entrusting our dog with her.

Calendar and availability

Schedule

My schedule is flexible and I will work with you to meet your pet's needs. I enjoy taking dogs for walks, to local dog parks, playing and giving lots of cuddles to ensure they get all the exercise, love and attention they deserve.

Where your pet will stay

Safety, trust & environment

I will follow your instructions to make sure your dog's specific needs are met. I am a detail orientated person so I'll ask lots of questions during our initial meet and greet and I'll send updates and pictures of my time spent with your dog.

Pets

A typical day

I like spending my time doing whatever your dog enjoys doing so I tailor my visits to match your dog's interests. This includes: walks, play time outside and/or inside, playing with toys or just getting pets and cuddles if that's their jam. A tired dog is a happy dog!
