Hillary's love for animals began at an early age. The pet store at the local mall served as a surrogate babysitter for Hillary’s mother. Hillary would stand, for what seemed like hours, in front of the glass wall that housed all the puppies and kittens for sale, hoping to make eye contact with just one. Her mom knew she could set Hillary up in front of that glass wall, go return her dress at Macy’s, pick up the latest Linda Ronstandt album at Sam Goody, and thirty minutes later, Hillary would be right where she left her.

Prior to making Cary, North Carolina her home in 2003, Hillary lived in San Francisco, where she volunteered at the San Francisco S.P.C.A. as a cat & dog socializer, as well as an adoption counselor. It was the San Francisco S.P.C.A. that brought Hillary together with the two kitty loves of her life, Charlie & Chelsea, when they were just ten weeks old. Charlie is about to turn 16 years old and just keeps getting sweeter and sweeter. Sadly, Hillary and Charlie recently lost their beloved Chelsea to kitty lymphoma.
While Charlie is clearly the one in charge, Hillary, and her partner, Jim, also share their home with Ollie, a very hyper Jack Russell Terrier; Sammy, a slightly less hyper West Highland Terrier; and Lacy, a 6 month old kitten and Charlie’s new BFF.

Hillary graduated with a degree in Communications from the State University of New York at Cortland. After spending more than 20 years in “corporate America,” and never feeling professionally fulfilled, something had to give. Hillary got her blessing in disguise in the form of a lay-off and
knew this was the right time to pursue her dream of working with animals for a living. She joined Love’m & Leave’m Pet Sitting in Durham as a pet sitter and midday dog walker and loved it! She very quickly knew professional pet sitting and dog walking was the career for her. A few years later she opened Best In Show Pet Sitting, which services Morrisville and Cary 365 days a year.
