Pet Sitting in Abingdon

About: With over a decade of hands-on pet care experience, I have cared for both cats and dogs, raising them separately and together. I specialize in senior pet care, including administering medication, and have trained puppies in manners and potty training. Additionally, I am certified in nail trimming through Paragon’s Nails and Ears Technician Program, ensuring safe and stress-free nail trim. What makes me a great dog sitter is my deep understanding of canine behavior, patience, and commitment to providing a safe and loving environment. I tailor my approach to meet each pet’s unique needs. I prioritize trust, consistency, and communication with pet owners, ensuring peace of mind while their furry friends are in my care. My goal is to create a positive, stress-free experience for both dogs and their owners. Pet care is a top priority in my daily and weekly routine. I am available throughout the week and on weekends, with the exception of Wednesdays, when I have prior commitments. I strive to be as flexible as possible to accommodate pet owners' needs. To ensure the best care and scheduling, I kindly ask for a few days' notice before finalizing any bookings. This allows me to plan accordingly and provide the highest level of attention and care for your pet. Whether in my home or yours, I prioritize safety, comfort, and trust to ensure your pet feels secure and happy. Though I live in an apartment, I have a dedicated, cozy space where your pet can feel at home. I provide scheduled potty breaks and walks (weather permitting) while keeping their routine consistent. Extra treats and toys will be available, but I also take great care to respect and protect any belongings you provide. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I will follow their daily routine to minimize stress and ensure their comfort. I treat every home with respect, leaving it just as I found it. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. My goal is to create a safe, loving environment where your pet feels cared for, whether at home or away

“Nan did a great job caring for our girls while we were away. She sent pictures, checked in, and give us the 411 on our dogs while we were out of town. Thanks again!”

“This woman is fantastic! We highly recommend her, as do our dogs. Besides being reliable (that is not always a Rover attribute) she was so friendly and accommodating. Though we don’t currently need her help any longer, we aren’t letting her get far away ! She is a GEM!”

Rosalind H.

“Bailey was absolutely amazing with our dog while gone! I would have her come back anytime!”

Melissa S.

“Stephanie was great! She immediately engaged with Jovie and handled her extreme “puppiness” with a calm and inviting demeanor. Jovie warmed up to her right away and is already looking forward to their next play date!”

“Glenn took excellent care of my Dallas, who is a bit difficult, but he kept me updated and seemed to be happy to deal with her cranky personality. I will definitely book again.”

“Nichole took such good care of Jack, my 70 pounds of energy Australian Shepherd! I feel very safe about having her come into my house. I will confidently recommend her to anyone.”

About: I used to live on a ranch including dogs and cats. I’ve had many years of caring for them and when anything happens to them, I’m the first one that gets called to get asked what they can do to help them. I am full time Monday-Friday but I would love to take care of your pets after! Anytime after 4:30 will be the best time I can come after work but on the days I’m off, anytime works Whatever the rules are, I will follow them. If dogs are needed to be crated at a certain time, I can do that and if they need free time constantly then I am all for that as well.

“This was my first time leaving my fur babies alone since getting them or ever using a service like this and Jessica made the experience! Seriously if I could rate her 11/10 I would! She was in constant contact with me when dropping in and also sent me pictures! I really felt like my babies were safe and in good hands while I was away! She is amazing and we will definitely be using her again for future trips! Thank you again soo much Jess!!”

“I was very pleased with Ashlee and would definitely request her again to care for my pets (dog and cats). She asked detailed questions to prepare herself for their care and handled the special medication needs of both my dog and cat by taking a pic of their prepared food. She was dependable and on time. Her relaxed confident manner made my nervous dog at ease with a stranger. I would recommend her to others.”

About: I have had extensive pet care experience over the years. I have cared for both dogs and cats, as well as smaller animals like rabbits and hamsters. I have experience with both indoor and outdoor pets, and I am comfortable with administering medication if needed. In my previous job, I was responsible for feeding, walking, and playing with the pets under my care. I also kept an eye on their health and reported any concerns to their owners. I am passionate about providing the best possible care for animals and I enjoy spending time with them. Well, pet care is an essential part of our daily and weekly routines, especially for pet owners like me. When it comes to taking care of our pets, we need to ensure that they are healthy, happy, and safe. This means providing them with proper nutrition, exercise, grooming, and veterinary care. As a pet owner, my daily pet care routine involves feeding my pet, giving them fresh water, and taking them for a walk or providing them with playtime. Additionally, I take some time to clean up after my pet, such as cleaning their litter box or picking up after them outside. Weekly pet care routines can involve much more, like giving my pet a bath, cleaning their bedding or cage, and checking for any potential health issues or concerns. I also make it a point to play with my pet and teach them new tricks during the week to keep them mentally stimulated and happy. Overall, pet care is a responsibility that pet owners like myself need to take seriously. By incorporating daily and weekly routines, we can ensure that our pets continue to thrive and live healthy, happy lives. Well, I think my approach to caring for my pets at home is pretty comprehensive. Firstly, I make sure to provide them with a clean environment, which means their area and kennel is cleaned as well as, beddings are changed regularly. I also make sure they have access to plenty of fresh water and nutritious food. In terms of exercise and playtime, I schedule a set amount of time each day for interactive play and exercise, in addition to walks outdoors. This keeps them happy, healthy and stimulated both physically and mentally. I also prioritize their medical needs by ensuring they receive regular checkups and vaccinations as needed. This proactive approach helps to prevent health problems down the line. Overall, I believe that providing a safe and nurturing environment, plenty of exercise and playtime, and proactive medical care are all key to caring for pets in a responsible and effective way.

About: It is a dream of mine to become a veterinarian. I am actually currently attending school to become a veterinary technician first, and I have been working at a vet’s office for about 2 years, although I have been shadowing for 3 years. I have always grown up with pets, whether it be farm animals or indoor cats and dogs. I love all animals, and it’s my dream to be able to help and care for them! I’m currently working full-time at Knox Pet Clinic as a vet assistant. I work 7am-5pm Monday, Tuesday, Friday, and Saturday. I can also stop by during my lunch break if you live within a close distance! I will make sure that everything in your home is left the same as when you left it! I know pets can make things messy, and I will try my best to keep it tidy!

About: I’ve previously trained bird dogs under the professional dog training business H& H Gun Dogs. I have a Viszla, Great Dane, Bulldog, and painted turtle. I love all pets and have had them all my life. Very good at working with them. I work PRN as a caretaker so I do not work every day I either have mornings or evenings off if I am not away traveling. I am starting with dog walking as I do not feel comfortable being in a strangers home, if I get to know and trust you I can also let them out or move to dog watching occasionally.

About: Experience with caring for dogs and cats of all ages. I have a passion for special needs, sick and elderly pets. While not in class I would love to watch your pet(s) and care for them. I recently moved from Chicago to Macomb to pursue school. I have a love for outdoors! Hiking and enjoying trails is one of my favorite hobbies I would love to include your furry friend on! I am a nurse part time and pre-medicine student. My husband, Carlos, works from home and is an even bigger pet lover than myself! My work schedule is “as needed” meaning I make my own schedule, making me flexible for pet parents! My job is also less than a mile from home making me available almost at all times! I have a very spacious one bedroom apartment. I have been told by HVAC and Xfinity people that it is the nicest, largest, one in Macomb. There are also plenty of parks and trails nearby for when your furry friend is ready to explore. I am a home body most days, but of course when the weather is nice that changes! I love to be outdoors. I work part time, while my husband works from home full time. I make my work schedule and can build it around clients needs. I also work a few minutes away allowing me to be home on breaks if need be! I believe in following the rules the pet parents set! This helps decrease anxiety for the pet! I respect all the rules and expectations set by the pet parent as they are in charge at the end of the day!
