Pet care experience
Please make sure to read my PRICING DETAILS before setting up a meet & greet or scheduling services with me as to not waste time and energy for either of us. Feel free to send messages with any questions.. I am a pet owner also (2 cats, and a dog.) I feel like my pets are my children in some ways. I make sure they are healthy and happy. Animals have such personalities its adorable to watch them. I dog sit for a neighbor of ours frequently when they are away and our whole family enjoys playing, feeding, and just spending time with both of them. They really are so sweet and we just love their personalities. I take care of them as if they are my own making sure they are comfortable and happy. Each one gets one on one attention each visit so they don't get sad and depressed when their owners are away. We used to board pets but recently got a dog of our own and while she is just over a year old she has a ways to go with socializing. She is high energy Red Heeler mixed with German shepherd. Our cats avoid her but don't seem to hate her. She is protective of us and our home so it's been challenging when we have guests come over or we try to take her out and about. We are working on it and I'm confident she will get better about it in the future. But for now I don't think it would be a very calm environment if we have guest (pets) over. So I can do drop in walks and visits at clients houses, it's possible to do house sitting mostly weekends as I'm a stay at home mom and need to be around for my son in the evenings and overnight. In addition to pet care I also clean houses and have for over 20 years for clients so that is also a service I provide separately.
Reviews
My pup needed some medication given while I was at work she was able to do it quickly and give me great peace of mind while I was away!
Hilary has been taking care of our 3 dogs when we're gone, for a few months now and we couldn't be happier. We have such peace of mind knowing she is taking care of them like really only we could. She is very dependable and always goes above and beyond, taking the time to play with them and giving them lots of TLC. They love her!! We'll never use a kennel again!

I have references upon request for dog sitting, house sitting, and house cleaning services. House cleaning is separate but wanted to make sure it was known that I'm willing to provide services for this also. $35-$40 an hour depending on what is needed and how far away they are.
Information Hilary S. would like to know about your pet
Its really dependent on the temperament of the animal. I expect the owner to be up front on what to expect with their dogs/cats, if there's any concerns or things to pay closer attention to.... etc. I will try to accommodate most reasonable requests.
A typical day
We live on 2 1/2 acres in the country. Our pets love it here and so do we. We enjoy bonfires in our backyard, yard work, and we also enjoy spending time at home together watching movies, etc.
Services
Hilary can watch in your home
Availability
I'm a stay at home mom of a 12 year old. So he is in school during the week. I mainly try to be here to put him on the bus in the morning and here for him after school. My husband works full-time and is a volunteer firefighter and has been for 20 years. So his schedule is always up in the air. My son can be home by himself. I just prefer it's not for long periods of time.
