Full Time Pet Care Professional

Pet care experience

Hello, I'm a passionate animal lover with over 5 years of professional experience in dog walking and pet sitting. I hold a business degree from Mount Royal University and have completed the Veterinary Office and Technical Assistant program at Robertson College. With more than 4 years in the veterinary industry, I've served as a Veterinary Assistant, Client Care Representative Team Lead, and Hospital Manager. I'm excited to dedicate my attention to caring for your pets! At home, I have a 5-year-old French Bulldog named Hank, and I've been surrounded by family dogs since birth. Hank has a sensitive stomach, so I understand the unique needs of dogs with allergies and those requiring special care. I ensure every dog in my care gets at least one long daily walk, tailored to their exercise requirements. Additionally, my small fenced-in yard provides a secure outdoor space. Your fur babies mean the world to you, and I promise to treat them as if they were my own. Hank loves having canine companions, so feel free to reach out with any questions. For drop-in visits, I'm happy to assist with additional tasks such as watering plants and collecting packages during your absence. When it comes to dog walking, I come equipped with my own dog walking belt and leash, and I provide poo bags for your convenience. I can exclusively walk one family's dogs at a time, accommodating pets that may not be comfortable around others, though if your dog would benefit from walking with other dogs, and is comfortable doing so, please let me know and I can pair them up with a buddy. I have extensive experience handling reactive dogs and can adapt to their needs. Dogs of all sizes and ages are welcome, and I can tailor walks to your preferred duration, whether it's 30, 45, 60 minutes, or longer. Regarding dog boarding, I'm unable to accommodate dogs with continuous barking or crying when left alone. All dogs must arrive and depart on a leash, and I offer various crate sizes if your dog is accustomed to one. It's best to provide enough dog food for the stay, plus a few extra days, just in case. Don't forget to pack their favorite treats, toys, and poo bags. Nail trimming is essential, especially for larger breeds, to ensure the safety of all pets in my care. All vaccinations must be up to date, and I can arrange pick-up if needed. Expect plenty of walks, playtime, and affection during their stay. I'll adapt to your dog's sleeping habits and routines to ensure they feel at home. I have a small fenced yard attached to my rented townhouse, offering ample indoor and outdoor space for play and relaxation. I'm currently working a full time job as well Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, but am available evenings and on my days off to care for your pets. Please don't hesitate to reach out, and we can arrange your booking. Looking forward to taking care of your furry friends. Best regards, Hope

Hope was amazing with our dog. I felt at ease leaving him with her. Her dog Hank and my dog Vegas got along great and had lots of cuddles together. We will use Hope next time for sure. Thank you Hope for taking such good care of our furbaby.

We always love having Hope coming to take care of our senior ex feral cat. For a cat that doesn't like many humans. He loves her.

Hope is great, our dog loves her and we trust that our dog is well taken care of when she’s with him. We like that she sends pictures from the walks and lots of details. We are very happy to have found her!
