I generally only watch 1 dog at a time so your PAMPERED POOCH will have my UNDIVIDED ATTENTION. 🥰 (Max 2 dogs if social & play well with others) Hi, My name is Hope. I’m a lifelong dog lover who will warmly treat your furry baby as if they were my own.  I work from home (just part time) so I am able to give your companion my devoted time & attention.  My 15 year old Golden retriever mix (Zoey) crossed over the rainbow bridge which was truly heartbreaking & earth shattering. She was my shadow, furry soulmate & best friend. I've decided not to get another dog for a while, but love the opportunity to take care of & dote on other people’s furry loved ones for now.  I truly miss having the company of my furry best friend and miss everything that went along with taking care of her. When you need someone, I will happily take care of, walk, brush (if they like that) , administer needed  medications, play with, love on, cuddle with & even sleep with your baby if wanted.  Your dog is allowed on my furniture and can sleep wherever he or she desires. I used to joke that this was my dog  Zoey’s home, and she just allowed me to live here and pay the bills.        I am 53 years young and have had dogs my entire life. As a child, we had a dachshund and then two German shepherds. As an adult I have had an Australian Shepherd, and my most recent golden retriever mix.  Now I really enjoy taking care of adorable furry friends through Rover. I am well-versed in taking care of different breeds & dogs of all sizes.      I live in a nice townhome in a gated community in Marietta. I have my own private backyard area to take them out to go potty. Plus I will walk them a couple times around the neighborhood daily. I welcome & enjoy the exercise as well. We also have an excellent very nice gated private dog park in my townhome community that has been newly renovated & landscaped so that is an additional area for fun & unleashed play. I will only watch 1 dog (maximum 2) at a time so as to give them my devoted attention. But I am willing to watch multiple dogs from the same family. If you have two dogs or more or older dogs that you would rather not move away from their own home environment, you may want to consider the house sitting option where I come and stay with your pets at your home. I have lots of references. Any questions, please feel free to ask. I look forward to meeting you and your furry baby! Hope

Great day as always. I left my injured schnauzer (hit by a car) with Hope and she kept him safe and looked after.

Hope was amazing with our dogs (+cat)! They absolutely adored her, and she treated them exactly as if they were her very own fur-babies. When I came home, it was like my dogs didn’t even know I was gone…and my home was in better shape than I had left it! She went above and beyond anything we could have expected, and I absolutely recommend Hope if you want the BEST care for your animals and complete peace of mind.

Yet another amazing day of daycare with Hope! She is always professional, only takes one pet or pet family at a time, sends video and picture updates throughout the day and my dogs get excited the moment we turn into her neighborhood. Great Sitter!
