Meet Your Dog’s New Best Friend!

I’ve often been told I’m a bit of a “dog whisperer” because pups seem to gravitate toward me, and I think it’s because they can sense my genuine love for animals. I’ve been a dog lover since childhood, growing up with 4 family dogs, and that passion has only grown over the years. I recently cared for my own senior pomeranian, who lived to 18, so I understand the patience, gentleness, and extra attention that senior pups need. On the other end of the spectrum, I know the energy and consistency it takes to care for playful puppies. Right now, I share my home with two spoiled rescue dogs, Chico (chihuahua) and Squeaks (tripod Pomeranian) who remind me daily how much joy and comfort pets bring into our lives and family. I have taught my dogs how to sit, stay, down, shake, come, and spin. So maybe I can even teach your dog some new tricks :) I also know how stressful it can be to leave your furry family member at home. My goal is to be their bright spot while you’re away, whether that’s a walk, a potty break, or simply some kisses, belly rubs, and companionship. I’ll treat your dog like one of my own!

Safety, trust & environment

Right now I only offer drop-ins, potty breaks, and quick walks for your furry babies. I do not offer any home services at my personal residence. If any service is requested outside of the normal services offered, I would be happy to help and discuss prior to my drop-in visit.

Dog Walking • May 02, 2026

We love Hillary! Especially Charlie! He is an energetic mid-size dog who can be an "excitable boy" as in happy. Still, he's pretty strong. Hillary walked in and within 10 minutes had him sitting calmly and dropping a piece of junk mail he grabbed. Amazing! Hillary is calm and flexible with her time if I need to deviate from our set schedule. She just loves Charlie and he loves her right back. He knows when she's here before I do, boops my hand with his nose as in hurry up (!) and tears over to the front door. Last time she left, he sat at the gate watching her go, crying. I swear, she's just the best. Hire her. She really is a dog whisperer!

Hillary is the best pet mom I have ever seen! She is calm & patient & all pets just take to her. They feel the love she has for dogs/cats or any animal. I have never seen a pet that didn’t bond with her right away. She is caring, playful with pets, exercises them, feeds them only the best food & treats. Her pets or anyone’s is her baby! I highly recommend Hillary. I wouldn’t let anyone else care for my 18 yr old dog!

Hillary is the best person you can get to care for your animals. She loves animals. She has 2 dogs of her own and she would do anything for them. I would never hesitate to leave my dogs in her care because I know she would treat my dogs like her own. You can’t get anyone who loves animals more than Hillary does and who would take better care of them.

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or if they are a little shy and takes them some time to warm up to new people. If you are requesting a dog walk, please let me know where their leash and harness is and make it easily accessible.
