Hilda doesn't "watch" you dogs while you're away, she gives them their best life as you do every day because you regard canines as family members. Hilda was recommended by a local dog-mom friend who I trust implicitly, and who would rather eschew a vacation than leave her precious pup with anyone less than an "aunt". Aunt Hilda's business moniker isn't a gimmick, it's a reflection of who she is and how she treats your four-legged family members. It's always heartbreaking to leave our darlings, Athena and Fresa, when we travel, but that pang is alleviated knowing Aunt Hilda is lovingly caring for them as if they're her own. Not only does she keep them safe and cared for, Aunt Hilda engages with your canine children/siblings, taking them on rigorous hours-long adventures, expertly navigating the neighborhood's best dog-friendly spaces. She gives up her own sleeping and personal space so they feel as if her home is their home. She tops their kibble with pumpkin puree. She nourishes them with grilled chicken breast at lunch. And there's never a ball that's not in play. Aunt Hilda may take better care of your pets than you do, so carefully examine the dozens of photos she shares with you via WhatsApp and learn from her consummate caregiving expertise. Moreover, her masterful action and relaxation snapshots capture the joys of your dog's daily activities, easing the inevitable pain of separation. Aunt Hilda is any dog-lovers dream, allowing you peace and comfort when you're away for any reason. I cannot imagine anyone who rivals her level of canine care! read more
