Pet care experience

Excellent With Pets

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 took really great care of our pup. She kept us updated with pictures and made Ollie’s first boarding experience very pleasant. I would highly recommend her!

Because of Ms. Hope, we were able to have an amazing day trip to Boston. She was very kind and the dogs did well. I highly recommend booking with her. 10/10.

I was in town for a wedding and had to board my almost 5 month old puppy which was nerve wracking for me as he is quite young and a small dog. Hope took excellent care of my little guy and communicated often. She made me feel at ease and I would definitely recommend her.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a large yard and have access to the Catamount Trail, the Hapggod Pond Trail and another trail at the end of a road not far from my home. My home is large enough to care for four to five dogs. I have had anywhere from one to five dogs at a time throughout my dog-sitting career.

Pets

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.

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.
