Safety, trust & environment

I care for pets in their own homes, where they feel most comfortable. I’m experienced with crating, feeding routines, medications, and giving pets the attention and structure they need. I’m respectful of your space and always prioritize your pet’s safety and well-being.

Information Hope T. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any special needs, medications, or unique quirks so I can provide the best care possible. I’m comfortable with all breeds and temperaments, and I tailor my approach to each pet’s personality.

A typical day

I love taking dogs on adventures, from neighborhood strolls to exploring the beach and nearby parks. We’ll enjoy the fresh air, play games, and get plenty of exercise and attention along the way.

Pet care experience

I’ve had both cats and dogs my entire life, and caring for them has always been second nature. I adopted my two cats at 18, and they’ve been with me through every chapter, college, a couple summers in Hawaii, and beyond. I grew up with a Boston Terrier and had a Great Pyrenees during college, both of whom I loved deeply and cared for daily. From energetic puppies to older dogs who need extra patience and gentleness, I’ve worked with pets of all ages and temperaments. I started pet sitting at 11, and my first real job at 13 was walking my neighbor’s Border Collies. Throughout high school, pet sitting and dog walking were how I earned money. I’ve continued to care for cats and dogs into adulthood, offering everything from walks and feedings to medication and companionship. I treat every pet like family and always show up with care, reliability, and genuine love.

Hope did so well with our cat! I’m so glad that we came across her. Hope communicated well, sent lots of pictures and updates, brought in some mail for us, and made sure our cat was well taken care of. You can tell that she “gets” cats. It was clear that our cat felt comfortable and at ease with her, which really helped us feel at ease while we were away! We would definitely hire Hope to stay with our cat again and highly recommend her as a pet sitter.

I can't recommend Hope enough as a pet caregiver! She’s looked after both my dog and cat during multiple trips, and every time, they’ve been in the best hands. Hope is incredibly reliable, she always shows up on time and follows instructions exactly. But what really stands out is how much she genuinely cares about the pets. She spends quality time with them, making sure they feel loved and comfortable. It’s clear that she has a true passion for animals, and that gives me peace of mind whenever I’m away. Hope is the kind of caregiver you can trust wholeheartedly.
