Availability
I work 10am-7pm (Mon, Wed, Fri) and therefore will only be available for early morning or late evening walks/drop-ins. Tuesdays and Thursdays I am available in the afternoons. I am available every other weekend. Please check my calendar for weekend availability. PLEASE NOTE: I do not accept house-sits longer than three nights (just a personal preference). I work long shifts and therefore would not be a good fit for dog house-sits unless it is during a weekend that I am off.

About Hope S.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I ensure that in addition to basic necessities, my animals are given physical and mental enrichment each day, whether it's a training session with my dog or a puzzle feeder for the cats. I am more than happy to do the same for your pets!
Information Hope S. would like to know about your pet
I would love to know how they typically react to new people, and what your recommendation is for building a positive relationship. I know all pets have their quirks and would appreciate insight on behaviors to look out for while you're away. I'm happy to bring my treat pouch and a variety of snacks if you recommend.
A typical day
Walks outside or a run to the park is lovely if the weather permits, but when it doesn't, I'm happy to keep your dog entertained inside with a variety of training games and enrichment. I have a Gunner crate in my car and am happy to take your dogs on adventures at the park!

Experience with pets of all kinds!
Pet care experience
For the last five years, I have worked at zoos, shelters, and sanctuaries with a variety of animals! In the past I have owned reptiles, and I currently own one dog and three cats. Additionally, I usually have at least one foster animal in my care at all times. I understand that each animal is an individual and will adjust my behavior accordingly. I am happy to be active if your dog is a runner, or a couch potato if they're more of a snuggler! I have experience providing medication and special diets. I am currently working with my dog to decrease his reactivity and my cats on harness training! I am more than happy to do any enrichment or training you request with your furry friend!

Reviews
I had a great experience with Hope. I will hire her again to look after my cat when needed.
Hope is the best! Always feel great leaving her with my joey!
Hope was very conscientious from our first meet and greet, taking notes while we talked. She confirmed prior to the start of her services, sent pictures every day, and sent a note on her last day where she would leave my key. She did a great job!
It’s hard to be away from an elderly cat with health issues but Hope makes sure he’s very well taken care of and always brings me peace of mind while I’m away!
