Experienced & trustworthy pet caregiver with a lifelong passion for animals. 🐾 I grew up both fostering and caring for multiple pets of my own. I understand how important it is to have someone you can rely on. I’ll make sure your fur baby feels loved, safe, and happy while you’re away.

House Sitting • Jun 24, 2026

Hope is the best! She house sat in our home for a 3-night stay and it was a fantastic experience working with her. She arrived early, handled our stubborn and blind senior dog with patience, and our home was in perfect condition when we got back into town. On top of all that, there was an unexpected A/C outage during her stay, which she never once complained about and she helped fix!. We are looking forward to working with her again soon.

Hope was great and took excellent care of Rocky. She was responsive, easy to communicate with, and made sure he had a great time. Rocky is basically a little trash panda, but she kept a close eye on him and made sure he didn’t get into anything he shouldn’t. I felt comfortable knowing he was in good hands. I’d definitely book with her again.

We had an amazing experience with Hope! She took such wonderful care of our two kittens while watching them in her home for the weekend. From the start, she was communicative, kind, and clearly very experienced with cats. Our kittens came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for, which says everything. She sent updates that gave us total peace of mind, and it was clear they received plenty of attention and love. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring cat sitter.

Be careful. She is not very responsive/communicative and does not respect booking times on top of being extremely rude at times.

Hope was a fantastic sitter for our little girl. Boo is very shy and timid and we were worried about her being scared, but Hope was great about giving her space until she was ready. Hope was communicative and open and we felt very comfortable leaving our girl with her. Boo clearly loved Hope, she’s cuddled up with her in all her photos! We’ll definitely book with her again

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a very pet friendly complex with designated areas for the animals to go to the bathroom. I also do everything in my power to protect them and help build their and your trust. so there is a bond and they feel safe.

A typical day

I live in a very walkable area with multiple dog parks within walking distance. I will adhere to t5heir regular pastime rituals, walks long and short, fetch, belly rubs, snuggles. I also like to play soothing music for those that have higher anxiety to help calm them. I talk to them and build trust. If at my house they will be ab le to sit with me, sleep in the bed if allowed by owner. If cat sitting I drop in refresh water, food, spend ample time snuggling playing and will clean liter.
