We've had Hilary stay with our 105-pound Rhodesian Ridgeback at our house several times now, and this was the second time she watched him while we were traveling overseas. Leaving for an international trip is stressful enough, so having someone we completely trust made a huge difference. She always follows our care instructions, takes great care of our dog, and keeps us updated with messages and photos throughout the stay. She's quick to respond, flexible if plans change, and always treats our home with respect. We never have to worry about either our dog or our house when she's there. The biggest sign of how great she is is how much our dog loves her. During one night while we were away, a storm came through, and he was scared. Instead of pacing around the house, he wanted to sleep in the bedroom with her, which says a lot about how comfortable and safe he feels with her. We feel completely at ease leaving both our dog and our home in her care. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and genuinely caring sitter.

Hilary took care of Scout, our older dog, during our short beach vacation. She was fantastic and reliable as always! Scout is happy and we know he is well taken care of while we are away.

Hilary took such amazing care of both of our dogs over Memorial Day weekend. She went above and beyond in every way possible. Despite the rainy weather all weekend, she made sure they were walked frequently and well cared for, and it was obvious how much love and attention she gave them. She kept our house incredibly clean and tidy, sent frequent detailed updates and photos so we always knew how the dogs were doing, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. On top of that, we had an unexpected freezer leak while she was staying at the house. Hilary immediately notified us, handled the situation herself, and cleaned up the mess without hesitation. She truly treated our home and dogs like they were her own. We came home to happy dogs and a house in even better shape than we left it. I cannot recommend Hilary enough and will absolutely use her again anytime she’s available!
