Pet care experience

Rest assured, your pets will be safe and have a great time with me- with 20 years experience dog/cat sitting, I absolutely ADORE animals, I'm an experienced (former) veterinary technician, animal lover, and fun, honest, and caring person. In my years of house/pet sitting I have NEVER cancelled a job, had a dog get loose, or ever had a client not recommend me to their friends -I'm extremely dependable and professional. Caring for someone else's animals is a very important job and understanding animals concerns takes experience, intuition, and patience. I love animals and try to make a connection with them whenever I have the chance. I want pets to LOVE to come 'vacation' at my place - so I also try to make their experience unique and fun. Sometimes we go on hikes in the mountains, sometimes just take walks around the highlands. When house/pet sitting, I always make sure to leave homes in better shape than I found them (sweeping up dog hair, picking up 'poo, cleaning dog bowls, collecting mail, vacuuming, and shoveling driveway if possible/necessary, etc.). By day, I'm an occupational therapist but I have a extremely flexible schedule, so I’m usually home just as much as I’m away. I will be open and honest about my availability and ability to care for your pets! My partner works from home, so it is rare that your pup will be left home alone for too long. I have a fur-child of my own and he usually goes everywhere with me. He is an 13 year old collie mix who gets along well with others. Please feel free to reach out with any questions!

Hilary is a fantastic dog sitter! She sent consistent updates and creates a very trustworthy environment that I felt comfortable leaving my dog in while I was away. Definitely recommend!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced yard. I take utmost precautions to make sure the animals in my care are well looked after and safe. If needed I can provide a medium-sized kennel. When not home, I separate dogs into different parts of the house so as to mitigate any potential issues.

Information Hilary K. would like to know about your pet

I want to know if you're dog gets along well with other dogs, if there are any allergies, his/her weight, if they have separation anxiety, the name/number/location of your veterinarian, how much exercise your dog typically receives, and how you normally discipline them in the case they act up. I'm an equal opportunity dog-sitter, no breed preference, although if your dog requires special attention (behavioral) I may charge more for services.

A typical day

I like to walk, run, or hike (rain, snow, or shine). We often take walks around the neighborhood to check out bunnies, too. I stay away from dog parks due to the uncertainty surrounding other dogs.
