Pet care experience

Happy partner for happy paws

Since I was little I have had a strong passion and love for animals of every kind. Dogs are definitely the superior though(shhh). Friends and family have always trusted me to take care of their furry friend. I have experience walking bathing and light grooming, basic training, and sitting. Growing up I had a beautiful cockapoo named Honey. I miss her so much and think about getting another dog all the time, but I am waiting until I graduate and settle down so I can give them a home they deserve. I would be so grateful to give this love to your 4 legged cutie!

Boarding • Mar 29, 2024

Do not book this sitter! Hope ghosted us the morning we were leaving for an international trip, forcing us to leave our senior dog with our vet’s boarding service. (Thank goodness they had room, as it was spring break and many places were booked up.) I reached out to Hope a month ago and booked her based on good reviews. We set up a FaceTime call to meet beforehand, and I confirmed with her at 8:00 pm the night before leaving that we would drop off our dog the next morning at 9:00 am. She texted to confirm the time and her address. The next morning my husband and son took our dog over to Hope’s place, and she was nowhere to be found. She didn’t answer repeated phone calls and texts. After 30 minutes of no response, and with an international flight to catch, we scrambled to make other arrangements. We have not heard from Hope since and have received no explanation for her ghosting us. The only silver lining of the situation is that if Hope is this irresponsible, I don’t want her looking after my dog. I want to add that Rover swiftly refunded our payment and the person I communicated with in their Trust and Safety department to report Hope was helpful and empathetic.

Hope did a wonderful job watching our two border terriers. She has watched them twice for us over two separate weekends and did a great job. She took them to a dog park for some outdoor play on both days. She’s been a great help to us when we have needed her and will definitely use Hope to watch our dogs in the future. Five Stars!
