Safety, trust & environment

Pet care can vary depending on each individual pet's needs. We do have a 3 year old pup, Sora, who is very friendly and loving with humans and other dogs. The pup coming to be cared for would just need to get along with Sora and they would play well together. They have a big backyard to play in together, we play fetch a few times a day, go for walks, brushing as needed, cuddles and belly scratches are welcome. Sora can have a herding dog behavior so she will help your pup learn new skills, she is very smart and well trained.

Her profound understanding of canine behavior, combined with her gentle, attentive nature, ensures every dog feels cherished and secure. Clients can trust Vil to provide a loving, safe environment where their pets will receive the same level of affection and care as they would at home.

Hilary is AMAZING! 😍😍 We are anxious cat Moms because we are home with our 3 cats most days. We were looking for someone who is great at communication, loves animals, and someone we vibe with. Hilary met and exceeded those on our first meet up, our cats were instantly comfortable. The first cat sitting visit went so well. Hilary sent pictures upon arriving, more of our kitties during the visit, and a message when she left. We could not be happier with Hilary. Our kitties are excited for their next hang out with her.

We love Hillary! We wouldn’t think about having anyone else watch Coco for us. She’s simply the BEST!

Hilary is AMAZING!! Super sweet and trustworthy—she sent me photos and texts for every walk and gave me total peace of mind. My dog doesn’t warm up to just anyone and she felt very comfortable with Hilary. I couldn’t recommend her more. I’ll definitely book again!
