Highlights
Pet care experience
Experience with pets of all kinds!
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!

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!
Ratings and reviews
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!
Thanks so much for your care! I really appreciate it.
Hope is so great! Very good with communication and helping out with all the details. Highly recommend
Hope is a lifesaver!! Came to help me out last minute and took excellent care of my kitty. 1000/10 recommend!
Hope is the best. I have an old cat with lots of special needs making it hard to leave him alone but Hope was super communicative, caring and made me feel comfortable that he was in good hands.
Hope is awesome with Walter and he warmed up to her right away. She is diligent in her reporting and very reliable.

Schedule
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.
