Big dog friendly!
Pet care experience
I've been dog sitting casually for friends for several years and have taken care of various breeds as well as senior & small dogs. I own a large and stubborn greyhound with whom I have done extensive force-free obedience training and a podenco rescued from the streets of Spain that looks hilariously little standing next to him. She’s new to the family and we’re slowly working on building confidence and trust as she settles into pet lifeI am comfortable working with both large and giant dog breeds.
Reviews
Hillary was great. Our four crazy dogs are a handful, but she handled them beautifully!
Chloe loves Hilary and I use her services every day and I have never had a problem. She quickly responds to my messages and always goes above and beyond taking care of my dog. She is so caring of my pup Chloe and I don’t ever have to worry if she is okay. Hilary sends me lots of pictures and videos of Chloe during her drop in. I couldn’t ask for a better dog walker.
3rd time using and always pleased. Thanks Hillary!!!
Super caring with our boy! Sent me tons of photos and updates and spent plenty of time with him!☺️ best experience so far

Safety, trust & environment
I adore dogs and treat mine like they’re my children. I do my best to respect a dog’s boundaries and fulfill their needs in a way that is both safe and enriching. I believe it's important to keep everyone safe with precautions like separate feeding spaces when necessary.

Information Hillary M. would like to know about your pet
I am open to working with any breed, but please let me know if they have specific needs around resource guarding, reactivity to other dogs, people, etc. so I can set them up for success while they’re in my care!
A typical day
I have a great neighborhood for dog walking, but I also like to mix it up with trail walks at the nature park just around the corner. My own dog loves to go on sniffari there! On nice days, we hang out in the back yard and I watch my dog nap in the sun. On not so nice days, I try to provide extra enrichment through play with toys, puzzles, and cuddles. I would love to do the activities your dog enjoys

Availability
I work from home most days of the week (and am only available for pet care on those days). I love the quality time I get with my fur babies. While your pet is in my care they will be treated like one of my own with regular potty breaks, walks, and luvins!
