Highlights
Pet care experience
Private 1-Family Dog Boarding
With nearly 20 years of experience in animal rescue and a lifetime of owning dogs, caring for animals is our family’s true passion. I have successfully managed pets of all ages, sizes, and medical needs, giving us the insight to handle any situation. To provide the safest and most relaxing stay, I exclusively board one family's pets at a time. This ensures your dog gets personalized, individual care tailored exactly to their routine. Your pup will join our loving family—including my two dog-savvy kids (ages 8 and 9) and our sweet 1-year-old mixed breed, Winnie. Whether your dog thrives on quiet snuggles or loves joining us for car rides, pup cups, and hikes in the woods, we treat them just like a member of our own pack!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
I highly recommend Hilary as a pet caregiver. She is responsible, caring, and dependable. I would feel completely comfortable trusting her with my pets, knowing they would receive plenty of attention, affection, and excellent care.
There is no one who would take better care of your pet than Hilary. I have known her for many years and she is the ultimate animal lover. She and her family have had many dogs and cats over the years. She has fostered several dogs and that has become a family affair with her two daughters helping. Any pet would be lucky to be in the care of Hilary.
Hilary is an amazing and kind person and a true pet lover! We adopted our rescue dog from her after seeing her provide an amazing loving foster home to many puppies. In addition to opening her home she also provided stability, training and structure. I would highly recommended her to anyone looking for pet care!
Hilary is FANTASTIC with animals!! Growing up she use ot volunteer at Seekonk Animal Shelter and helped to organize donations for Save A Pet auction. She, her husband and children are very active in the foster pet community. She has experience with big dogs, small dogs, puppies, dogs that need diapers, have missing limbs - you name it! Hilary and her family have cared for my dog that has special timing specific medication needs 2x a day. I have absolute confidence in leaving my fur baby with her - and more so - my fur baby is always sexcited to visit!

Schedule
I own my own business and work flexible part-time hours, so I can be home to provide plenty of love, play, and supervision. On the weekends, I am entirely free and dedicated to our guest pups, only stepping out briefly for our kids' sports events. Because I exclusively host one dog or one family of dogs at a time, I do not force your pets into a rigid routine. Instead, I completely tailor our daily schedule around your dog's typical feeding, playtime, and bathroom habits, ensuring they feel safe, pampered, and right at home.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Safety and trust is my top priority. With nearly 20 years of experience in animal rescue, I am well-versed in canine body language, flight-risk prevention, and handling diverse medical or behavioral needs. My home sits on two acres of very secluded, peaceful property backing up to beautiful conservation land. While the yard is not fenced, this means your dog is never just left outside unsupervised; instead, I provide dedicated, hands-on attention with structured leash walks for all outdoor time. Because I exclusively host one family's pets at a time, your dog will never face the stress, unpredictable behaviors, or resource-guarding risks that come with a multi-dog pack setup. They will only share space with our gentle, dog-savvy children and our friendly, 1-year-old resident pup, Winnie.
Pets
A typical day
Every day with your pet will be filled with plenty of love, attention, and fun! Depending on their personality and energy level, we’ll enjoy walks, playtime, backyard adventures, belly rubs, and lots of cuddles. I’ll make sure they get plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, and one-on-one attention while keeping them comfortable and following their normal routine. Most importantly, I want every pet in my care to feel safe, happy, and right at home!

- The more I know about your pet ahead of time, the better I can make their stay comfortable and enjoyable! I’d love to know about their personality, daily routine, feeding schedule, medications, allergies, favorite activities, and anything that makes them feel safe and happy. Please also let me know about any special needs, behaviors, or quirks so I can give your pet the best possible care while you’re away.
