Safety, trust & environment

I have a two dogs and a cat. They are mostly inside animals. However, I enjoy taking my dogs on longer walks around the neighborhood. I would care for your pets to your standard of care.

Information Hilary W. would like to know about your pet

Prior to sitting your dog, I would like to to know your preferences! Do you allow your dog on the furniture? Is he or she on a special diet? Also, I would like to know his or her favorite activities and games and his or her general habits so that I can make your dog as comfortable as possible.

A typical day

I live near several parks in which I can take dogs for walks. My dogs love other dogs and would love to have a buddy to hang out with.

I’m a freelance writer working from home and hoping to find new ways to explore the DC area while also meeting new furry pals. I have an open schedule and can travel. Open to long walks, drop in visits, and short stint house sitting!

Hilary was great with our pug! She was reliable and provided updates and was even able to get our girl back in her crate after her walk, when she can be a bit stubborn. She was communicative and made booking and everything easy! Will definitely book Hilary again!

Hilary was AWESOME. I would highly recommend her, reason being ... her thoughtfulness. Just before my sit started she informed me of something that could change my mind, instead of canceling I keep the booking and I'm glad I did. She came on time even though she could've came anytime that day, she played with Felix, fed him, kept me up to date on his antics (he's a bengal so he's full of them), she left the light on for him and the tv on cat tv so he wouldn't get bored. I would definitely book her again. Thanks Hilary.

Hillary was very prompt and easy to work with. I had a hectic schedule leading up to Hillary watching my family's great dane, which led to several changes in when we'd be able to drop him off. Hillary worked with us as much as possible to help us find a time that was beneficial to both of us. She sent regular pictures of Atlas while she watched him and maintained contact with my wife over our trip. We preferred the extra contact so there wouldn't be any surprises with our Dane. I highly recommend Hillary and would definitely request her services again if I needed to.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
