Local Professional Who Loves Pets

Hey! I’m a West Seattle resident and an employee of one of Seattle’s most impactful nonprofits. I’m one of those people who, if I had a big house, would become a Doolittle. My TikTok’s tell all. I have worked at Seattle Meowtropolitan, worked with Dog’s Day Out, and have supported training and socialization of numerous Seattle fur babies. I bring passion and tenderness to my work, knowing that I am taking care of a valuable member of your family. In so doing, I train dogs (and cats) with patience and love. This has earned me the moniker “Dog Whisperer” among my friends. Please feel free to reach out to me with questions or concerns. Happy to meet in person first or chat back and forth. Happy Howloweeen, all! 🐺

Hilary was so great to work with. She has great energy and I felt confident having her watch my senior dogs. She took such loving care of them and I felt at ease while I was away. 10/10 recommend

Dog Walking • Apr 21, 2026

Hilary was great as always. We needed a last minute midday walk and she was very flexible. When our pup decided that she only wanted to walk for half of the time, Hilary brought her back and hung around with her for the remaining 30 minutes. As always we are extremely comfortable with leaving our pup in Hilary's care

Hilary was great! We were extremely comfortable leaving our pup with Hilary while we were away for a week. We received great communications and we could really tell that she was caring for our pup's needs and paying attention to any distress. I have nothing but great things to say. Totally recommend Hilary!

Safety, trust & environment

I am attentive to concerns and instructions. I will trend towards overly communicative unless I sense (and confirm) that it is too much. I am incredibly patient thanks to being a teacher for so many years. I love seeing pets learn and they seem to love it to. After all, everything is a game if you make it fun!

Pets

A typical day

I walk in the neighborhood of wherever I am at. I will usually try to find a park, or a less busy area. I am a sucker for pretty pictures to send to you. If I can get one then I will! You know how dogs are about looking into a camera, so I try to get tricky and make unexpected sounds to get their attention. It's part of the fun to see those ears perk up!

I would love to know about any special needs he/she may have. If the dog is older then are stairs a problem? Can he/she be jogged? Are there any fears of which I should be aware?
