Pet care experience
If only our pets could text 🐶🐈
"Hillary loves dogs more than people," is a common sentiment my friends and family have. I am always the one who ends up on the floor to hang out with the dogs, asking to pet dogs while in public, and offering to dog sit for my neighbors while in the elevator. My love for animals started at a young age, since I was an only child, they were often seen as my "siblings". I've never lived in a home with just one pet. At one point, we had four dogs (and two cats) and the house was full of love and fur. I'm the person that friends and family (and those they introduce me to) call on to watch their pets. They know that I am reliable, consistent, and a great communicator. I've had small dogs (terriers, chiweenie), medium size dogs (retrievers, labs) and large dogs ( newfoundlands, goldendoodle). Currently, I do not have any pets in my household. I will also travel outside of San Diego for sitting, and require flight and ubers to be covered.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I live in an apartment and would allow pets to come stay with me, and have constant attention since I work from home. We abide by existing routines, or build our own that include an early potty break, breakfast, a walk, an afternoon potty walk and break, dinner, an evening potty walk and break, and wrapping with a pre-bed time potty. Caring for a pet at their home would look very similar, and would include more familiarity and comfort given it is their home.
Ratings and reviews
Spectacular. I think my dogs may be sad to see me come home. House was well cared for and my dogs were so happy. Will definitely use Hilary again. Very responsible.
Hillary was fantastic with our Rottie “Bo”. He has separation anxiety issues, and she was very sweet and loving with him. Even sat on the floor with him to help him get to know her. He had a great time with her..We will always request her when traveling to the SD area.
When Hillary tells you she will take care of your pup like her own, you can truly rest assure she will. Hillary has shown undivided love & devotion to our Frenchie that has made us feel so at ease whenever she’s under her care. She sends updates as well as photos/videos which we enjoy & appreciate. I couldn’t imagine trusting anyone else with our fur baby because we know Hillary will far exceed our expectations.
Hillary has a way of naturally comforting animals. My dog was rescued from a kill shelter and has a lot of trauma, but she instantly felt comfortable around Hillary. I would highly recommend Hillary as a responsible and reliable pet caregiver for your furry loved one.
Hillary is the most responsible person I have ever met! She worked for me for several years managing social media and events and was always on top of every detail. She also has a natural affinity with children and animals. Having spent time with her and my minature dashund I can vouch for the fact your dog will be love and respect her!
Hillary did such a wonderful job watching my senior terroir/chihuahua. It's hard to find someone who doesn't just want to take care of our older pup for the money, but actually love on her. Hillary was professional, understanding and so sweet with our dog. Will definitely be booking her again!

Schedule
I work from home, Monday through Friday, with a flexible timing schedule. I commit to a 60 minute break in the middle of the day for balance. My evenings are often open, as well.

- A few questions I always ask pet owners: - What is their typical behavior like? - What are their potty signs? - Are they allergic to anything? - How are they with other animals? - How are they in the car? - Do they eat their meals in one sitting or are they grazers? - Any medication? Vitamins? Supplements? - What type of leash do they use? Harness? Gentle lead? - How often do they poop each day? - How many updates would you like in a day? Are you okay receiving photos of your pet?
