Pet care experience
I’m Hilary and I LOVE dogs! My husband proposed to me with a new puppy and they were both in our wedding I completely understand how scary it is to let a stranger take care of your fur baby so I ensure they have endless love and attention while also maintaining safety and a sense of trust. We have been providing doggy day care and boarding to dozens of dogs the last few years but now our daughter makes that too difficult so I am only doing dog walking and drop in visits now. Due to our daughters illness, I have to stay home with her so I am home 24/7 with her between therapies. Growing up, there were always pups around. We had dogs of varying breeds, sizes, personalities, ages, and disabilities and I have been pet sitting and dog walking on a professional basis since 2014. I have experience administering medications, handling separation anxiety, managing high energy dogs, and consider myself a professional puppy cuddler. When I lived in Atlanta, I walked five dogs each week, in addition to doing regular drop-in visits for multiple clients. My husband Erick and I worked together to keep dogs in St. Pete. Currently, Erick and I have a sweet 10 year old yellow lab named Zappa and a staffy that’s 4years old. When your pup is under my care, my number one goal is to provide you and your pooch with a sense of comfort and safety. To me, the best way to do that is through excellent communication. It starts before the stay, by getting as much information as I can about you, your pooch, and your care expectations. That way, I can start designing your dog’s dream stay as early as possible! When your pup is with me, you can expect regular updates with accompanying pictures, so you can see just how much fun your pup and I are having together! I’m happy to keep owners up-to-date on anything from feeding times to exercise to behaviors. Dogs must be ok with small children, we have a one year old that will accompany me on walks and drop in visits.
Reviews
Hilary and Erick took great care of Pearl for a weekend while we attended a wedding. Hilary sent us pictures to keep us updated. We would definitely let Pearl stay with them again!
We left our 10month old with Erick and Hilary and everything was great. They were very good with her and communicated well with pics. We will definitely be using them again.
Blue was cared for so well, and we received pictures and updates every day! It was such a great part of our vacation that we didn't have to worry about our puppy.
Hilary and Erick were THE best! I got to meet them prior to June’s stay and I felt at ease seeing them interact with her and their dogs. Hilary and Erick were flexible with my pick up and drop off times, they sent lots of pictures and had great communication throughout the stay. They have a wonderful backyard and nice home. June truly enjoyed her mini vacation while I was away on mine. I’d love to book with them again in the future and would hands down recommend them to anyone!

Safety, trust & environment
I am very mindful to keep dogs hydrated in the summer months especially on walks, I am careful to watch for dogs trying to get out of their collar and even making sure their paws don’t get too hot. All the walks end with a nice belly rub ans clean paws with a fresh water topper in their bowl.

Information Erick B. & Hilary R. would like to know about your pet
Before a stay, I’d be happy to set up a meet and greet so I can get to know you a little better. They also must be ok with small children. I also love to learn about your pup’s favorite toys and treats as well as any medical issues or behavioral tendencies I should be aware of.
A typical day
That’s up to you! If your dog is use to going to the dog park or going to run places we can certainly talk about that option.
