Pet care experience
Hello Rover, (not so crazy) cat lady here! I've owned cats, dogs, and even a few reptiles throughout my life, and know the ins-and-outs of pet care. Friends and family frequently request my services (feeding, walking, boarding, bathing), and can rely on me to give attentive, loving care. I also have experience with giving medications (cats and dogs), basic grooming (nail trims, brushing), and of course belly rubs! I own one cat, and work in the mornings until early afternoon (2pm usually) with weekends off so I spend a lot of time at home. I'm also an online student, so evenings are also spent at home. Pet care is second nature at this point, and can fit very easily into my schedule. I have one cat in my apartment, who freely roams but also spends a lot of time in my room. I can crate your animal if requested, but I prefer if they just make themselves comfortable! There are plenty of couches, cushions, and rugs to nap on and even a few small pet beds (that my cat generally doesn't use!) I live only a few blocks away from two large parks, and enjoy walks just as much as the dogs! At your home, I can care for them as you request.

I appreciated that Hilary agreed to sit for me last minute as my travel plans changed due to flight cancelation. I hire house sitters because I have a dog with anxiety and have a notebook with details. She said she works 7am to 1 but was available to house sit the rest of the time.. She showed up and only stayed 1 hour on the first evening, didn't walk my dog, left again a few hours and came back to spend the night. The following day we had a power outage. I was in contact with her and let her know that PGE was going to turn on the power that evening. After work, she checked on my dog for 30 min, no walk ( I have cameras outside) and left. I contacted her again to find out when she was going to return, my dog had been alone all day except for her drop in check and it was way past dinner time. She said that she would check on him again but not stay the night as agreed. She was rude and did not care about my dog . I have never experienced this with any service provider from Rover and would not recommend this sitter to anyone.
Hillary didvery well with our dog Tonks and was very helpful in letting us extend two more days because of complications on our trip. Tonks was very happy with her on our return. She sent us photos twice and messages. We would definitely request Hillary for pet sitting again in the future.
I was worried about my dog on the first day because she left her at home for a few hours by herself at night. And her communication wasn’t great for me. After I clarified my wish to receive a few photos of my dog per day and to know how she is doing, our communication got better.
Hillary is great with my two high maintenance dogs!
