Information Hope R. would like to know about your pet

I like all dogs and do not prefer one over another. I need to know about their preferences and personality and how well they get along with other animals. I have not had any trouble with aggression in any of the dogs I have cared for so far.

A typical day

I have access to at least three trails close to my home. I also have a large yard that allows for play. My dog Maebe is wonderful with other dogs and greatly enjoys the company, as do I. I play with the dogs inside and outside if they desire that type of interaction.

Excellent With Pets

Pet care experience

I have had animals for 35 years and took an obedience class with the Doberman puppy I had. I make my own dog treats with non GMO meat and find them to be an excellent training tool for all of the dogs I have cared for in the last nine years.

Hope did a great job taking care of Storme! She kept us to date on how she was doing and provided her with lots of rubs and pets! We will definitely use Hope again when we are in the area!

Hope was lovely and welcoming. Kaido had a great day playing with the other doggies and we felt confident that Kaido was in good hands.
