Information Hope W. would like to know about your pet

I’d like to know their dog or cats language, how they communicate their needs, if they have any special games or favorite toys, what their schedule is, and how to make them most comfortable.

A typical day

I prefer to drop into the exact routine the animal is used to. Parents being gone is stressful enough, that maintaining their usual routine of walks, park visits, bed time/wake up time, is important for their comfort. So I will do whatever their parents typically do to make them comfortable, and can also go beyond if requested to give their pet an extra fun time!

Vets assist, compassion informed

Pet care experience

Growing up with dogs and cats, I saw them as family, friends, and teachers. Deserving of undivided attention and care, exactly as a human is. With unique traits and communication style. I am incredibly attentive, loving and caring for all dogs of all personalities with all talents and challenges. I am very patient and will never yell or point at your dog, and I will give them the attention and kindness they deserve, sustain their routine, and comfort them if they are sad. I communicate consistently with pet parents, and let them know exactly what we’re up to. I am a trained vets assistant and am qualified in caring for senior animals, disabled animals, and animals who may have medical needs.

Hope was so wonderful with my senior dog. It is clear that she loves caring for animals and they certainly warm to her. I was able to enjoy a much anticipated holiday knowing she was with Ollie. I highly recommend Hope for your loved pup.

Hope was amazing with our two pups. We have never felt safer and less stressed having to leave them. We were gone on a medical trip for my wife and Hope kept us up to date multiple times, sent photos and videos, and was great about getting one of our pups her meds. We will definitely be using Hope again.

Hope took wonderful care of our senior dog, and handled her health issues very well. She took care of our home and dog as if they were her own. She has great communication and gave lots of updates. We will definitely be booking with her again!

Hope just spent 2.5 weeks in our home with our 8-year-old dachshund (Inna) and our two guinea pigs, and it was the most worry-free trip we've ever had. Hope kept constant communication with us via texts and photos, and met Inna's every need while we were away. She even took Inna to the vet when she was having irregular bowel movements, and stayed by Inna's side 24/7 while she recovered. We came home to a perfectly clean home and a happy, relaxed Inna. Inna even got a bit depressed when Hope left, so we'll definitely be calling Hope to come take care of her again! If you want top care for your animals and your home, don't hesitate to call Hope!
