Pet care experience

We aren't quite ready to get our own dog yet but we'd love to take care of yours! We have a home with a fenced yard and room to play. We love going on long walks around our neighborhood and going hiking nearby. Hilary works from home Mon-Fri and loves having canine company. We typically only host one dog at a time (unless two dogs come from the same family) and we appreciate the opportunity to meet you and your dog(s) beforehand (so unfortunately we can't take same day requests when a meet and greet is not possible). We have two pet birds too, who have proved to be a great source of entertainment for the dogs we host. We also have a toddler who loves dogs! As of January 2019, we are also privately insured, so you can have peace of mind that your pup is safe with us!

We left Milani, our sweet Chihuahua with Hilary during our Christmas vacation. Hilary was amazing with her. We could tell Milani was loved and so well taken care of. Hilary sent pictures so we could see Milani and how she was doing. Hilary and her family welcomed our Milani into their home and it gave us such great peace of mind. I would highly recommend Hilary and I know we will sure be using her again! Thank you SO , SO, much Hilary & family !

Hilary has been a huge help and blessing to me and my old man corgi, Dewi since hiring her for weekly drop-in visits last September. Always prompt, and professional in all communication. I highly recommend!

Hilary is always very attentive to my older cat Maybe. My cat clearly loves being watched by her. Thank you so much for your kindness.

Information Hilary R. would like to know about your pet

Let us know if your dog has any weird quirks or habits that you are used to by now but that might worry us if it's our first time watching them.

A typical day

Your dog will get lots of exercise at our house! I'm an early riser and will take your dog on a 1/2 mile+ walk or run around our Reedy Creek neighborhood as soon as I get up and then again as needed throughout the day. I'm happy to keep your dog uncrated; the first floor of our house is pretty much open to roam.
