Experienced, Trustworthy Traveler Offering Loving Pet & Home Care

About this sitter

Hi! My name is Hilary, I am a mother of two children who are finally leaving the nest, and I am ready to travel. I live in Los Angeles, am a graphic designer and run my own little dog sitting business on the side, which you can see here: https://happytailsretreatla.com/. I am quite active, an ex-triathlete, but still love to swim, run, hike, ski, surf, yoga, you name it...I am a huge pet lover and I love to travel, so this site is the perfect match for me.

Why they want to house sit

I have considered moving abroad for years, but would like to try out living in different areas first, so this would offer me an opportunity to spend some time abroad, while having a purpose (caring for your animals and home). It feels like a win-win situation.

Their experience

I started out fostering kittens when my daughter was young, and have fostered more than 50. I then began fostering dogs, and eventually it turned into a little business to help me pay my bills (Los Angeles is quite expensive:). I have experience caring for cats and dogs of all sizes and personalities. I have experience administering shots (jabs) and oral medication. Regarding house sitting, I have been a home owner and have full respect for others homes, I will keep your home clean, safe and treat it with the utmost respect.

What can they bring to the assignment

I bring a genuine love animals. I love and treat them all as if they are my own babies:). I am responsible, clean, friendly, communicative, have a ton of experience and referrals. You can get a sense of me and my little business in LA on instagram, I use the story to post images of the dogs I am caring for, so that my families/clients can see updates every day at their own leisure. that link is here: https://www.instagram.com/happytailsretreatla/
I can also provide referral phone numbers on request! :)
