House of Zen Pet Resort

Follow me on Instagram and Facebook at House of Zen Pet Resort, to see all the happy furbabies! Hello fellow pet parents! I recently moved back to Viridian in North Arlington with my husband and little girl… and I am so excited to be here! I am currently working on my Ph.D. in Nutrition (...and taking a long break from being a mental health practitioner), so that gives me plenty of time to spend at home with my pets, as well as pet-sitting for other families nearby. Please feel free to email me with questions about my schedule and availability. I'd love to provide amazing care for your beloved pet(s)! I've been a pet parent for 30+ years, and I love all animals. I've proudly raised, fostered, rehabilitated and nurtured all kinds of animals including dogs (micro-gigantic), cats, snakes, hedgehogs, hamsters, squirrels, fish, rabbits, frogs, birds, and lizards. I've cared for abandoned newborn and geriatric animals, and rehabilitation is my expertise. I've interned, volunteered and worked at many different animal care organizations including zoos, shelters, vet clinics and rescues. My entire life has been dedicated to helping and loving animals of all kinds. Experience: My animal care background includes years of experience as a veterinarian technician at three DFW animal hospitals, animal behavior modification training at the University of North Texas’ ORCA program, Board Certified Behavior Analyst with initial training in animal behavior and over 30 years experience of being a devout animal lover, animal rescuer/rehabilitator, pet sitter and pet parent. I have experience in medication administration including oral and injection, grooming, bathing, nail clipping, teeth brushing, wound care, eye injury care, epilepsy care, handicapped animal care and other medical care for many different species of animals. I would love to provide daily walks, exercise, play and enrichment activities for your pet in their preferred space (your home) or community outings (i.e. dog parks!). I can't wait to meet your furbabies!!!

Hillary was simply the best we could ask for to watch our Sofie!! Words literally cannot describe how thankful and grateful we are to have met her. She is so kind and caring and treated our Sofie like her own! We enjoyed all of the photo and video updates of our girl having the absolute best time playing and swimming with the other pups! We had the best experience and would absolutely recommend Hillary to anyone. Thank you, thank you to Hillary and her lovely family!!❤️🥰

We would like to make sure your pet is well socialized, fully vaccinated and healthy when we care for them at our home. As a previous vet tech and pet parent to neurologically sensitive pets, I understand that vaccines aren't always feasible for your pet's health. If your pet is not vaccinated, I am still available to care for them in your home. If your fur baby requires medication administration, no problem, I’ve got plenty of experience in that area, including oral meds and injections. I'm familiar with caring for pets diagnosed with epilepsy, diabetes, skin disorders and eye injuries, among other medical issues. At this time we can only accept very small breeds for boarding and day care, due to limited space. If your doggie has any behavior issues, such as extreme separation anxiety, is destructive to property or has shown any past aggression to other animals we won’t be able to host them in our home. We keep our residence very quiet and peaceful for all of our comfort and enjoyment. Having one unhappy pup in the group makes it hard on the rest. Thank you for understanding.
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.
