Hi, I’m Hillary! I’m a lifelong animal lover and have grown up caring for a wide variety of pets. I’ve owned and cared for dogs including a Chow Chow, American Eskimo, Husky, Golden Retriever, Maltese, Lhasa Apso and Cockapoo, as well as cats and two parrots. I’ve also cared for three dogs in a boarding-house environment and looked after a cat named Marble for a year.

For dog walking, I’m happy to do walks of around 30–60 minutes depending on your dog’s age, energy level and usual routine. I’m happy to explore local parks, green spaces and quieter walking routes rather than taking every dog on the same route. For drop-in visits, I can provide feeding, fresh water, toilet breaks, playtime, cuddles and general care.

For boarding and house sitting, I like to keep pets as close to their normal routine as possible. I’ll follow their usual feeding and walking schedule, give them plenty of attention and make sure they have a calm, comfortable environment. I can also keep the home tidy and secure by locking doors and windows, following any house instructions and making sure the property is looked after while you’re away.

I understand that every pet is different, so I’m happy to follow specific instructions around food, walks, medication, sleeping arrangements and anything else your pet needs. My priority is making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable and cared for while you’re away.
