Pet care experience
Recovering New Yorker
Hi, there! I'm Hope (she/her). I recently moved to Philadelphia after a decade of living in New York City (originally from Asheville, North Carolina). I've been taking care of dogs and cats there for around 8 years. I make sure they get the exercise they need, keep their water bowls full, and their tummies happy. I am immune to the puppy dog eyes and cat meows begging for extra treats or human food, but I fall hard for tummy rubs! I'm not able to have pets of my own, so cat and dog sitting helps me fill that void in my life.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I strictly visit my client's home. I try to treat it as my own. I'm happy to offer my own thoughts after my personal experience if asked, but I am here to make sure that you feel safe and comfortable leaving your pet with me, so I follow your guidance. I understand and respect that it is a struggle to leave your pet in the care of a new person. I will do everything I can to make both you and your pet feel comfortable in my care.
Ratings and reviews
Hope did an amazing job of taking care of Bigsby while I was gone!
Whenever we come home from a trip our pups are calm, relaxed, healthy, and happy to see us. To us, that is a testament to the level of care Hope provides during each sit. She has our full trust with our home and our doggos. We can’t recommend her enough.
Hope did a great job and provided us a real sense of calm while we traveled internationally!
Hope was a last-minute find who came to my rescue in an family emergency and the dogs loved her on sight and so did i. she is wonderful: loving, responsible, neat, communicative and an all-around great person.
Hope took wonderful care of our two dachshunds, Butters and Remy, during an overnight stay while we were out of town. She was communicative and thoughtful throughout the visit, sending photos and updates that gave us peace of mind while we were away. Our two guys can be a little anxious (read: barky), and Hope handled their quirks with total grace and patience, which we really appreciated. When we returned, the dogs were happy and relaxed, and our home was in great shape. It was clear they were well cared for and had a comfortable time with her. We would absolutely book with her again and recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive sitter.
Hope is the best sitter! Attentive, communicative, and flexible, Hope met all of pups needs while we were away and we have senior dogs who needed special attention. Very trustworthy and we’re excited to have Hope sit next time!

Schedule
I work remotely in live transcription. This means I'm generally home most of the day. My schedule varies greatly from day to day, but I generally have some flexibility. I generally go to bed on the early side so I can wake up early.
