Happy to go on longer walks
Pet care experience
My goal is to make your dog as happy as it can possibly be while you are away, and I love sharing my time with them. While dog walking, I will stop as often as your dog wishes, and I am happy to run with your dog too, if that is something he or she enjoys. While dog sitting, I understanding that it can be very hard on dogs to have their owners away. I'm happy to play tug of war, fetch, tag, or whatever else your dog may enjoy. As far as experience, I have grown up with as well as dog sat both large and small dogs, and if you have multiple dogs, I feel comfortable walking up to 3 dogs at a time. Hope to meet your pup companion soon!
Reviews
Hilary has walked my dog a few days a week for the past month. She is punctual, responsive and gave me updates on how each walk went. I recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable walker!
Hilary is great! Aaryn is noticeably happier when I get home on the days she’s had a mid-day walk with Hilary.
Scout came home healthy, mellow and happy from a stay at Hilary's. We got pictures every day of their adventures. She was conscientious about taking care of our pup.
Our dog had a great time spending the weekend with Hilary! She made sure Apple got exercise and really made her feel at home.
About Hilary F.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
While dog sitting, depending on the dog's needs, I typically wake up early and take the dog for a walk right away. I try to be with the dog as much as possible so that it is more distracted and not missing its owners as much, playing fetch or tug of war or just keeping the pup company. If the owner would like, I will also take the dog to dog parks. Typically I walk dogs twice per day, but am happy to walk more or less as desired.
Information Hilary F. would like to know about your pet
Can the dog go up stairs (elderly, etc)? Can the dog be alone at all or will I be able to step out of the house for a certain period of time? How often should I take the dog outside to go to the bathroom? How does the dog do around other dogs on walks, and around other people? Does the dog have any special needs or quirks?
A typical day
I will take the dog on walks, play tug of war, fetch, and show the dog lots of love. We can go to dog parks as well.
