Dog Sitting Abington

About: I have been pet setting for friends and family for the past fifteen years. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each and every fur baby I come in contact with. I do not have pets of our own, so we really take this time to provide all the love and attention to your pet while we have them Spending time with me . I have grown up with dogs and cats, my entire life, and once we moved to Charlotte, have helped our neighbors tremendously while they vacation our daily walks around our community. Days are that much more fun when we have someone to bring along with us , especially since we have a dog park walking distance from our home. I can’t wait to meet your loving pet, and give it the same love and attention it deserves. I work from home, so have unlimited time to give your pet attention and take for as many walks as needed. Typically I take two walks a day, but frequently take more when pet sitting there is an enclosed porch area that are smaller dogs that we watch like to hang out on to get sun and fresh air since our yard is not fully enclosed. On weekends that we are pet sitting, we make it a point to stay local and to include your pet in any of the activities that we do around the house. We have a large yard and an enclosed porch area that we can spend time with your dog on. Within walking distance from our house, there’s a small dog park as well. I spend a lot of time outside, walking multiple times a day and would be happy to have your pet accompany. My daughter Isabella is very mature and is excellent with helping. Keep your pet entertained if that is what they prefer. For the dogs that I have sat, and are not as active, I make sure that they have the space that they need and attentive enough to understand when there needs change.

About: As a pet owner myself, I am dedicated to providing exceptional pet care with a focus on love, attention, and playtime. Let me be your pet’s favorite companion while you're away! I currently work full-time during the week, but I’m available on weekends for pet care services! I’m happy to help with walks, drop-in visits or overnight stays. I always make sure your pets get plenty of attention and care while you’re away! I take great pride in ensuring my dog and cat receive the love, attention, and exercise they need to thrive. From daily walks and bathroom breaks to playtime and cuddles, I prioritize their well-being above all else. With my experience and genuine love for animals, I'm committed to providing the same level of care and attention to your pets as I do my own, ensuring they're happy, healthy, and well-cared for in your absence.

About: (PLEASE review my photos and read through my profile to ensure I’m a good fit for your dog, we want to keep everyone safe!) I offer boarding and daycare with pick-up and drop-off services Monday through Friday. With over 15 years of experience working with dogs, I’ve developed a deep understanding of their needs. I started by helping family and friends, then volunteered at a local shelter, and today, I work full-time as a dog walker and sitter — and I wouldn’t have it any other way! I’m committed to going above and beyond to meet each dog’s individual needs, no matter how big or small. I want every dog in my care to live their best life! I know how important it is to maintain a dog’s routine and to never cut corners, especially when working on behavioral issues. I look forward to meeting your dog and supporting them on their journey! Safety and Fun Are My Priorities Over the years, I’ve learned a few key things that help keep the environment safe and fun for everyone: • I require a meet-and-greet before any boarding stay, which includes a day of daycare. This allows me to see if your dog is a good fit, gives them a chance to meet the other dogs, and helps them feel comfortable and familiar before their stay. • At mealtime, I feed all dogs individually to avoid food aggression and to ensure each dog stays on their specific diet. • For dogs requiring medication, I administer it privately and carefully, to ensure it’s properly taken and to prevent any accidental exposure to other dogs. • I do not allow toys, bones, or personal beds from home during a stay. This helps prevent any territorial behavior or conflicts. Rest assured, I have plenty of comfortable bedding, engaging toys, and safe chews to keep your pup happy and entertained while they’re here! I can’t wait to welcome your dog into my pack and help them thrive! Daily Schedule: • 6:30 a.m.: Wake-up/morning bathroom break • 8:00a.m -9:00a.m.: Breakfast •. 9:00 a.m.-Morning daycare pick-ups (Monday–Friday) • 10:30a.m. – 12:00 p.m.: Playtime in the yard, with breaks as needed • 12:00 p.m.: Lunch • 1:00 p.m. – 2:00 p.m.: Quiet time/rest • 2:00 p.m. – 4:30 p.m.: Afternoon playtime in the yard, with breaks as needed • 4:30 p.m. – 6:00 p.m.: Afternoon daycare drop-offs (Monday–Friday) • 6:00 p.m.: Evening bathroom break • 6:15 p.m.: Dinner • 7:15 p.m. – 8:00 p.m.: Evening play session • 8:00 p.m.: Relaxation and quiet time • 9:30–10:00 p.m.: Final bathroom break and bedtime I have three separate fenced-in yards to keep things fun and engaging for the dogs, giving them plenty of space to run, play, and explore. There are multiple crates available for individual feeding or for dogs who might be a little too curious and like to explore things they shouldn’t. I also have my yard treated for ticks and mosquitoes every month to ensure a safe and comfortable environment for everyone. And that’s just the beginning! I provide a wide variety of toys and enrichment activities to keep the dogs mentally and physically stimulated. We do sensory games, have food puzzles to challenge their minds, and even offer quiet, cozy spots for rest and relaxation. Whether your dog loves to play, learn, or just lounge in the sun, there’s something here for everyone to enjoy!

I am available on weekends (Fridays after 3:30 only), all summer, & most school vacations. I can even come to your home if you prefer. I'd love to hear from you!

About: I’ve lived with two reactive, senior dogs (a pittie and chihuahua) for the past two years and get the privilege of volunteering with the dogs at the shelter near me weekly! Experience with medication administration (topical and oral), basics needs (walking, feeding, playing) and overnight sitting. Current Schedule for drop ins (as someone who works full time) is: Monday: 5am-7am, 6pm-midnight Tuesday: 5am-7am, 8pm-midnight Wednesday: 5am-7am, 6pm-midnight Thursday: 5am-7am; 9pm-midnight F: 5am-7am; 9pm-midnight Saturday/Sunday: anytime I have experience leashing/walking/caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes and behavior. I know when they need space, or when they want to play. I also am very careful about diet - have experience dealing with dogs w/sensitive stomachs or allergies so you can trust your dog’s feeding needs with me. Also have experience working with dogs who have special needs, including deaf and blind.

About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs all my life. Dog sitting for my aunt for when she went on vacation and cat sitting for friends and co workers! I love animals and would love to help others as well! I am currently employed at Mansfield deli. I usually work 5-7 days a week but my schedule varies. I get my schedule on a weekly basis so I’m not really sure of my schedule ahead of time but I normally work the same hours every week! Unfortunately I am not able to have other animals in my home due to having my own cats and dogs but I would love to care for other animals in the homes they are comfortable in. I am very well adjusted and have plenty of experience with pet sitting to help keep animals safe and taken care of! In my home we have 2 dogs and 2 cats.

About: I can handle dogs of all different breeds and love to treat them with the love and respect they deserve! I love what I do! I am currently working a full time job during the week Monday through Friday, so weekends work best for me to be able to take care of dogs. I can easily crate a dog if needed and will use what is needed at my clients house to be able to keep the dog safe and sound.

About: Finding someone you trust with your pet is a big decision, so I focus on providing safe, reliable, and compassionate care every time. I’ve spent over 10 years working with animals in a variety of professional settings, including as a dog groomer, and at an animal hospital. Those experiences have taught me how to safely handle dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels, while also recognizing when something doesn’t seem quite right. Whether your dog loves long walks, prefers to stop and sniff every tree, or just needs a little extra patience, I’ll make sure they’re comfortable, safe, and treated like one of my own. I understand that every pet is different, and I take the time to get to know what makes yours happiest. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and believe communication is just as important as great pet care. You can expect plenty of updates and photos from me! I know our pets are family, and my goal is to make every walk a positive, stress-free experience for both you and your dog. I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged best friend! I’m currently a full-time student, which gives me a flexible schedule throughout the week. Since my classes are planned in advance, I can easily work around them to provide reliable walks and visits. I enjoy being active, so spending time with dogs fits naturally into my routine. Whether your pet needs a midday walk, an evening outing, or care while you’re at work, I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that meets your needs. Your dog’s safety will always be my top priority. With over 10 years of experience, I’m comfortable handling dogs of all sizes and personalities. I’ll use safe leash-handling practices, stay aware of our surroundings, and always treat your dog with patience and care. I’ll also keep you updated after each walk, so you can feel confident your pup is in good hands.

“Christina helped us with a drop-in visit on very short notice, leaving us three very happy dogs. She showed a quick understanding of their unique personalities, and gave us a nice summary of all their activities, including photos.”

About: Hi there! I'm a lifelong animal lover, proud dog mom to three rescue pups, and the founder of a nonprofit dog rescue! Through running my rescue, I've had the opportunity to work with dogs of all different breeds, sizes, ages, personalities, and backgrounds. I've gained valuable experience with everything from energetic puppies to shy, fearful dogs who need a little extra patience and understanding. I also have extensive personal experience caring for dogs with medical conditions, allergies, autoimmune issues, and behavioral challenges. My own three rescue dogs have taught me that every dog is different, and I truly believe in taking the time to understand their individual needs, routines, and personalities. I'm comfortable working with dogs who may need extra attention, patience, or a slower introduction to new people and environments. Whether your pup loves long walks, prefers a relaxed stroll, or just needs some extra love and companionship, I'm happy to accommodate what makes them most comfortable. I know firsthand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. My goal is to provide the same level of love, patience, and attention that I give my own dogs, while making sure you feel comfortable and confident that your furry family member is in good hands! I work full-time remotely in the legal industry, but I also own and operate a nonprofit dog rescue, so caring for animals is already a huge part of my everyday life! My current work schedule offers a great deal of flexibility, allowing me to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, and other pet care needs throughout the day and week. As a dog mom to three rescue pups, I'm no stranger to balancing feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and individual care needs. I'm fortunate to have the flexibility to work around your pet's routine and provide them with the attention, patience, and love they deserve. Whether your pup needs a quick potty break, a long walk, or some extra companionship, I'm happy to help make their day a little brighter! Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being will always be my top priorities! As the founder of a nonprofit dog rescue and a dog mom to three rescue pups, I understand firsthand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your furry family members. I personally have a fearful, fear-reactive dog, so I understand just how challenging it can be to find someone who is patient, understanding, and willing to accommodate dogs who may need a little extra support. I've dedicated much of my life to accommodating my own dogs' individual medical, behavioral, and emotional needs, and I know that what works for one dog may not work for another. I understand that building trust takes time, and I never expect a dog to feel comfortable with me right away. Through both my rescue work and personal experience, I've learned the importance of respecting each dog's boundaries, recognizing body language, and allowing them to adjust at their own pace. I'm especially passionate about helping owners of anxious, fearful, or special-needs dogs feel confident that their pets are in understanding and compassionate hands. When caring for pets in a client's home, I do my best to maintain their normal routines and follow all instructions closely, whether that involves feeding schedules, medications, exercise, or specific behavioral accommodations. I believe in creating a calm, positive environment without forcing interactions or putting dogs in situations where they may feel uncomfortable or overwhelmed. I'm also more than happy to provide regular updates, photos, and videos so you can feel reassured while you're away. I know what it's like to worry about leaving your pets in someone else's care, especially when they have unique needs. My goal is to provide the same patience, understanding, love, and attention that I've dedicated to my own dogs, while making sure both you and your pet feel safe and comfortable!

“My two pups love Charlotte, I appreciate how well she takes care of them,”

About: I have watched dogs all sizes, breeds, and personalities since I was 16 for neighbors, friends, and family. I have fed pets, taken pets for walks, and hung with them. I do work full time but I’m around weekends, week nights, Thursdays, and Tuesday mornings. I have two dogs myself so I know how to manage time. I can crate your dog, make sure they are in a comfortable environment, make a close relationship with our dog and have no danger around them.

“Imalay took wonderful care of my senior special needs dog!”
