Pet care experience
ALL NEW CLIENTS GET $10 OFF PER DAY FOR THE MONTH OF JANUARY!!! RATE IS NORMALLY $75/DAY! Greetings, I'm Hillary! I own Sit Pretty, a small business in Buffalo, NY that provides dog walking, sitting, basic grooming, and other services. My goal is to provide excellent pet care to folks in Erie County. If you have any questions beyond what's addressed here, send me a message! I grew up on a hobby farm with a range of animals, so I'm accustomed to creatures big and small! Our family dogs varied in size and personality, from an Aussie to a Great Pyrenees to a Jack Russell Terrier. My experience ranges from training for and participating in 4-H and American Kennel Club shows, therapy dog visits, 4-H volunteerism, and continued education courses at Alfred State. I have several years of behaviorally assessing and training dogs of all breeds, personalities, and needs for shelters and private individuals. In practice, I've developed and enacted behavior management solutions specifically for shy dogs or resource guarders. I'm also familiar with the care needs of cats, birds (poultry and exotics), rabbits, goats, and horses. My schedule is always up to date here, but I'll happily address any additional inquiries. I will do my best to accommodate any quirks or special needs your dog may have; we can discuss them to develop a plan that works for everyone. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend/s!
Reviews
Hillary was wonderful with our two pups while we were out of the country. During her meet and greet she took many notes and was a good sport about us being nervous about leaving out fur kids. She stayed in our home and left it clean and tidy. She communicated with us easily and sent photos of the boys who looked to be enjoying her company! She even easily handled an unexpected “guest” when a small owl came in through our chimney and I am pretty sure others wouldn’t have handled it so well (she even got photos of the little stowaway). It is priceless to be able to trust someone with our guys and we hope she will be available again in the future!!
Hillary was amazing with our 4 senior dogs. She came to meet everyone before we left, and took detailed notes about each dog their needs and routine. I was sent daily updates through photos a d videos, each dog was happy and healthy when we came home. I would recommend Hillary to anyone looking for a trusted person to stay in their home to watch their pets. We will be using her when we go out of town again.
Hillary did a great job at taken care of our puppies she stayed the night with them as well. We received pics while we were on vacation daily. She is a very trustworthy person and we will be using her again on our next vacation.thank you
Hillary was very thorough when she met with us. Our dog really liked her and we loved the piece of mind knowing she was in great hands and being well cared for in our absence. We would highly recommend Hillary to anyone looking for great pet care!!! Thanks Hillary ☆☆☆☆☆

Information Hillary H. would like to know about your pet
Safety of people and pets is my number one goal, which is why I require a mandatory, free meet & greet before all services. Length of these appointments varies between 30 min. to an hour. - We'll meet at an agreed upon time, date, and location (usually your house or a neutral space). - I'll get to know you and your pets to ensure I'm the right fit for the job! - I'll ask you questions about your pets' history, from behavior to health. We'll cover any care items you desire and questions you may have. If I will be staying in or visiting your home, I will also ask questions surrounding that.
A typical day
