Highlights
Pet care experience
Your dog's new best friend!
I have taken care of dogs my whole life -- both my own dogs and as the go-to sitter for friends, family, colleagues, and neighbors. Across my extensive time caring for dogs, I have gained experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I am particularly good with nervous or timid dogs, and I am very comfortable with dogs who have special medical needs. Two years ago, I had to say goodbye to my own greatly beloved dog after a couple of years of very intense cancer care. While I am not ready for a new dog of my own yet, I am eager to shower other people's dogs with affection and care.

I do not currently have any other animals in the home, and your dog will receive my full attention! I have a wide variety of dog beds for them to try out and toys for them to play with.
Ratings and reviews
Hillary was the perfect sitter for us! She was very attentive to our daily schedule with our dog, and was very understanding in how we like to care for her. She followed all of our routines, and gave our dog so much love and care while we were away. She sent so many great updates and lots of photos which we appreciated. It gave us such piece of mind knowing all the things that went on while we were away. Once we arrived home, we could tell how much our dog loved Hillary. From the tail wags, zoomies, and constant pets 😊 We would recommend Hillary to anyone who wants their dog cared for by someone who treats them like their own!
Hillary was great as usual. She is my go to sitter for Mulligan when I can't be home. She sends lots of updates and Mulligan is always happy when she comes over.
Hillary is a fantastic Rover mom. She is more than prepared, diligent, informed, and she was more curious about Winnie as an individual dog than I have ever encountered before on Rover. It made us feel really good, and was just a lovely experience at the Meet and Greet. She made us feel SO at ease leaving our home and our Winnie with her. We have already rebooked with her and she just left yesterday because she did every single thing we asked when it came to Winnie, and she was so respectful of our home. We HIGHLY recommend Hillary! Cannot say enough good things!
Hillary is awesome! Super communicative and my dogs love her. Definitely will keep coming back to her in the future!
Hillary is absolutely amazing! She is so friendly and I feel completely safe leaving Kiwi with her. On our first meeting, Hillary came prepared with all of the right questions to make sure she knew how to best care for Kiwi, which meant a lot! Kiwi loves her and would get so excited to arrive at Hillary’s. Hillary has been invaluable for my peace of mind knowing that Kiwi was well taken care of. Kiwi has anxiety and Hillary was so accommodating and understanding about ensuring Kiwi is comfortable. She sends adorable photos and has plenty of dog toys/puzzles that Kiwi had so much fun with. I would recommend her to anyone! Kiwi and I are so appreciative!!
Hillary was great! Mulligan loved having Hillary watch him when I was gone. She is very communicative and sends lots of pictures

Schedule
I have a very flexible schedule and am available for dog care most days. On days listed as available, I am able to spend almost all of the time at home with the dog(s).
- Cats0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbs41 to 100 lbsHillary can host up to 1 pet per night
- I love to learn about what really motivates different dogs. Do they respond really well to praise and affection? Are they led by their stomach? Do they really want to use their walks for Maximum Sniffing? Each dog is an individual, and the more I know about their specific personalities, the better!
