About Hope

About me

Hello! My name is Hope, I’m 30 years old, I’m a Youth Worker, and I adore animals, particularly cats and dogs. I have been a pet-sitter for friends and family approx. 5 years, and an official pet-sitter for 1 year via another petsitting website. Some reviews from my other site:

'Hope is a fantastic cat sitter, kind,patient, and great with our cat. She takes the time to understand his personality and lets him come to her in his own time, keeping him stress free & kept us updated daily with photos and videos. She even stayed longer than booked to make sure he was okay. Clear communication, super reliable, highly recommended!'

'Hope was the perfect cat sitter any cat owner can ask for! I have a young playful cat who loved Hope immediately upon meeting her and an older senior cat who is very much shy whenever strangers are at present. This is the first time I’ve seen my older cat so comfortable around a new cat sitter.'

My experience as a pet-owner and pet-sitter

I had 2 dogs, Josh and Harvey. They were both Jack Russells. They were amazing dogs and I loved caring for them, walking them, playing with them.. I have lots of happy memories with my boys. I miss having dogs. If you have a dog, I will aim to give them the best care possible.

After Josh and Harvey, I then rescued my first cat, TJ. I rescued him when he was 16 and he lived to the age of 23. He passed away a few years ago, but I believe he lived a long and happy life because we gave him the love and care he needed. When he was 16, we were told he had only had 6months to live, but he continued to live an extra 6-7 years. I miss him everyday. 

TJ was on medication for his heart and kidneys, and he was on specialised food. Medication was 3 times a day, and involved a pill and liquid form. If your cat or dog needs specialised food and/or medication, I am more than happy to provide them the care they require. 

I now have another cat, Ivy. She is 4 years old, and we rescued her from Bahrain. She is a calico, and an absolute drama queen. She is funny, sassy, vocal, ‘spicy’ yet sweet. If you have a calico, I’m sure you know what I mean! 

I also care for my neighbours cats and dogs. The dog is a Shiba Inu and the cat is a Bengal. The Bengal also has specific requirements (for example, extra playtime to keep him stimulated). 

I have always been an animal lover. Prior to having cats, and dogs, I had fish and rabbits. I also care for my neighbours guinea pigs when they are away. 

If you pick me as your sitter, I will treat your pet with the best care. I will provide not only the basics, but I will also play with them so they are not bored, and provide affection when they want it. For each visit, I will stay with your pet until they are ready to be left, and I will always provide you with an update with lots of photos and videos.

I also work from home most of the week, so for no additional fee (and with your permission), I would be happy to stay with your kitties and work from your apartment. That way, your cat is provided with more attention and care.
