Active Dog Care With Room to Roam

Pet care experience

Specializing in active dog care for dogs that like running, hiking, and skiing in the winter. I have experience with dogs with high activity needs such as Blue Heelers and Australian Shepherds that require focused attention, structure and engagement as well as fun and games. I love taking dogs on trails for an active outing like hikes, trail runs or skis. I also take them on leashed or slower activites where they can explore areas at length with their nose. Why I love dog sitting I grew up with dogs - up to 4 of them at a time, and have cared for my own dog as well. About my yard The yard in the back of the house is 2500 square feet, unfenced and has a drop down to the quiet, dead end road. Good for short games and fetch. My experience administering medication Pills are fine, I have not given a dog shots before

Hilary has watched our pooch Jessie on many occasions and Jessie always comes back happy, healthy, and often tired (in a good way). Hilary is caring, laid back, and active. So especially if you have a pup that would enjoy some long runs or hikes she is your lady.

Information Hilary C. would like to know about your pet

I'd like to know how the act around other dogs they don't know, their prey drive when/if off leash, and how they do around cats, as our neighbors have a few that wander through our yard at times.

A typical day

Here's where we'll take our walks About a 5 minute walk away is a town forest over a square mile with 16 miles of trails for hiking, walking, running and biking. Locally we also have the Green Mountains and Coolidge State forest for hikes and cross country skiing. Your dog's sleeping arrangement We have a large mudroom - the photo with 2 dogs on beds and a multicolored square carpet. Time I'll spend with your dog A good solid hour or more of active time, or could be a day hike, with other attention throughout the day.
