I carefully plan my work commitments to ensure dogs in my care receive consistent walks, potty breaks and play time. I am committed to maintaining a routine that support each dog’s comfort, safety, and wellbeing. I take the dog out before and after my work shifts. I work 8-4 Monday-Friday. I’m a former professional dog walker from Vancouver. I have experience with a wide range of dogs, including reactive dogs, young, senior or super social. I use positive reinforcement methods to support calm and confident behaviour. In addition to walks and potty breaks, I prioritize playtime, enrichment, and affection so dogs feel secure and well cared for. I am also DogSafe® Certified.

Information Hilda M. would like to know about your pet

Let me know in advance if your pet has special needs or special care. If they need medicine or extra care or they have certain behavior I should be aware of.

We will play games to keep them stimulated. When we walk I let the dogs have a good sniff and enjoy their time. My goal is to keep your dog safe and happy. I will walk their pace and have play time or cuddle time.

Kind-Hearted Care for Dogs & Cats

Pet care experience

I’ve often been called a “Dolittle” because animals naturally gravitate toward me, and caring for them brings me genuine joy. I grew up with both cats and dogs and have spent my life caring for my own pets as well as those of friends and family. For the past year, I’ve been providing professional pet care services, supported by over 15 years of hands-on experience. I’m a highly intuitive, kind, patient, and gentle caregiver who truly enjoys engaging pets through play and companionship. I’m an experienced dog walker with experience caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, and energy levels—from young and energetic to senior and selective

Hilda went above and beyond taking care of our boys Legend and Magnum for the two weeks we were away. Would highly recommend her to everyone possible!

Highly recommend Hilda! She is knowledgeable, experienced, and very caring. Hilda was very flexible, professional, and communicative, and really took time to understand our picky pup before and during the stay! We had a unique situation and moved houses between booking and the stay, and Hilda was extremely understanding. Our house was left clean, and our pup was very happy! Would love to book again!

We were so lucky to have found Hilda! During our initial meeting, I could tell that she is the perfect balance of kindness and leadership, which our golden retriever definitively needs. As an experienced dog walker, she easily handled his behavioural quirks. She gave us daily updates and pictures and was prompt with all communication. Our house and dog were in good hands.

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.
