Pet care experience

I’ll care for your dog like my own

I have recent experience with senior dogs and puppies. I am exceptional at keeping to routines/schedules. Also, I am not afraid of poop! Especially if your pup isn’t quite potty trained, no worries! I currently have 2 cairn terriers named Tilly and Lou Lou. We recently lost our almost 15 year old, Boo, and we miss her terribly every day. I had a childhood family dog for almost 14 years. She was an Australian Shepherd named Angel. I absolutely love dogs and how pure and unconditional their love is. I also have experience caring for children and people with disabilities, and I have a BA in psychology. I am willing to care for all breeds and sizes of dogs.

Safety, trust & environment

I am happy to pick up your dog at your home to go on walks, or to drop in if they need potty, water, food, or play breaks. Although dogs typically naturally are comfortable in my presence, I would love to meet them to become comfortable ahead of time so they trust me.

Hilary was wonderful with Freckles. Usually it takes one or two visits for my dog to feel comfortable with someone, but she took to Hilary right away. Because she moved, she can't come to walk Freckles anymore, and I know Freckles will miss her, as will I!

Hilary has been great. My dog Freckles is usually very wary of new people, and it can usually take one or two meetings for her to get comfortable with someone new. This time she took to Hilary almost right away. Freckles gets very excited when Hilary comes to walk her, and I'm grateful that it is working so well.

Hilary is the best dog walker we have ever hired. Our dog Bear absolutely loves her. She is kind and always on time. If your looking for a dog walker she is one of the best. We are so thankful we found her.

Hilary has been very reliable, communicative, and easy to get along with. Our dog seems to love her as well!

Hilary would be a great dog sitter. She loves dogs! She owns an Australian Shepard who she cares for, takes to the vet, walks, and grooms. She has taken care of friends' dogs also. Hilary loves all kinds of dogs, big and small. She is kind and loving; dogs tend to really like her. Hilary is fit and likes to walk dogs. I really recommend Hilary as a dog sitter.

Let me know about any of your dogs anxieties or potential triggers (e.g., doorbells, cats, other dogs, etc.). I would love to keep your baby as calm and happy as possible and respond accordingly.
