MEET AND GREETS *I do not accept bookings from new clients without a meet and greet scheduled and a request that is least a week prior to service dates. This is to assure my safety as well as the safety of you and your pet/s. Meet and greets must be scheduled Monday-Friday. KEY PICKUP & DROP-OFF Beginning January 1st 2024, I will be implementing key pick up and drop-off fees The fees are as follows: *$20 (one way, key pickup or drop off at your home) *$40 (both ways, key pick-up and drop off at your home.

If an undisclosed camera is found in an inappropriate area within the home (i.e. bathroom, guest bedroom, etc.), the booking will be terminated immediately with no refund. This rule is geared more towards housesitting bookings, but it also applies to drop-in visits and walks. BIO I am a Seattle-native who has a lifetime of home experience and over 10 years of professional experience caring for dogs, cats, and farm animals. I also work as an independent graphic designer on the side. I grew up on a farm and am very passionate about the well-being of all animals.

Hilary is the best! Very good experience as usual. I feel very relaxed with her checking in on my cat while on vacation.

It’s always such a relief when Hilary is able to care for my cat when I’m out of town, because I know she’ll do a great job and I’ll come home to a happy fuzz.

Hilary did a superb job taking care of Alex and Anna while we were out of town. We can always rely on her to make sure they have everything they need during our absence. They were both happy and healthy when we came home.
