Highlights
Pet care experience
Mama Bear here to Care
Hi! I've raised 7 dogs from 8 weeks to their passing, since I was 7 years old. And I am now blessed to have a new puppy. I have trained them, loved them, and cared for them when they got old. My 13 year old mini schnauzer had both dementia and a pace-maker so I am familiar with sick dogs as well as young virile pups.

Ratings and reviews
A picture is worth a thousand words. Bowie doesn’t smile with strangers. That’s how we know he was in good hands. He even sat for a full on picture something he doesn’t like. Hilary and Bowie are friends.

Hilary was a great sitter for our dog, Tucker, who stayed with her for a couple of days while we were out of town. She sent us daily updates with photos, which really put our minds at ease. Her 11 month old pup has a lot of energy, which was a bit overwhelming for our 7 year old Tucker at first, but he ultimately had a good time. We appreciated the care and attention Hilary provided. Would definitely recommend her!

Hilary was terrific! Treated my dog like her own, had a wonderful day, sent pictures, and was easy to communicate with. A+
Hilary was easy going and kind which made the process of leaving my beloved pup so much easier.
I had two back to back visits to Santa Barbara and I happily entrusted Jafar in Hilary's care both times. She is communicative and caring and has a great space and I highly recommend Hilary!

Hilary was fantastic! She is very communicative. She has a great space and very attentive to what would make Jafar comfortable. I have already booked another doggie daycare with her for another trip to Santa Barbara. Highly recommend!

Schedule
I am lucky enough not have to work at this time so I can devote all of my time to your pups. I am almost an empty nester so your pet will have my full attention and the enjoyment of my dog, Indigo, to play with.

Safety, trust & environment
I have recently moved back to SB from LA and I have a lovely patio for the dogs to relax in. I love to take my pups to a quiet section of the beach for some good run around fun if they are allowed or a walk in my neighborhood. Otherwise we enjoy cuddle time at home and play time with Indigo.

A typical day
My house is super dog friendly as the dogs are allowed on all the furniture and get time to relax in the sun on my large patio. For exercise I like to take the dogs to the beach or a walk around the San Marcos Preserve which is essentially in my backyard.
