“Abigail did a fantastic job. She knows how to maintain their focus so the play isn't just a big free for all. I enjoyed how she maintained a great leash walk with Buck and also let him play with her dog before and after. I would trust her to take great care of anyone's dog.”


About: Experienced caretaker not only of the furry kind (plus some feathers) but also of children and seniors. Taking the time not only to play and give attention to our furry friends but also make sure they are safe and happy after their drop in/walk. A former teacher and now stay at home mom to older children, I have the ability to be there for your pets when they need a visit. As a former professional I understand your home is your place and it is difficult to open it up to a stranger. Your privacy and your pets safety will always be a top priority for me.

About: Over the past 4 years, I have honed in on my skills in animal handling, care, and maintaining cleaning and sanitation standards. My professional experience has equipped me with a solid foundation in pet care, allowing me to effectively meet the diverse needs of pets and their owners. I am particularly skilled in animal handling, proficient in administering first aid, medication and I am meticulous in my cleaning and sanitation practices. My communicative nature, attention to detail, and flexibility in adapting to various pet needs makes me a perfect fit for your pooch! I’ve dealt with dogs of all ages sizes and temperaments and would love to help you with your pet parent needs! At the moment I’m trying to watch pets full time but I may be getting a part time job in the near future. No matter the schedule, your pup will be my main priority! I currently live with my sister on her 79 acre farm with our two dogs Orla and Nellie. Both can be kept separate from your furbaby if need be. When boarding in my house your pup will be kept comfortable in my upstairs apartment and will be taken out to potty and play whenever they need! When staying in your home just let me know the routine and I’ll keep your furry friend happy!

About: I have a dog of my own and during my time in college I worked part time at a doggy daycare providing many different types of services including watching dogs in groups, giving dinners and medications as needed, and learning many dog behaviors. As stated, I have a dog of my own. I am also an occupational therapist but am taking some time off for the summer! Understanding that each animal requires different care is important, for example my dog is a one year old lab so making sure he gets enough exercise each day is a nonnegotiable! Whatever your pet needs to be happy I feel comfortable being able to provide those things such as any food/medication as needed and all the love including playtime and cuddles!


About: I have been trained in the pet department for country maxx! I work independent contract gigs full time and I have a very flexible schedule! I am a full-time aid to a young woman who loves animals. I work from 9am-4pm on weekdays, and am completely free on weekends! For day checks and walks, I can bring along the woman I care for as long as I have your permission. I can not offer night services at my apartment, but I will gladly house sit or check on your pups at night! I'm a super flexible person who is always looking for new opportunities!

Sari H.
“Sari has been helping us with the care of our dog for just over one year now. In addition to occasionally walking our pup and getting her to her grooming appointments on time, Sari does a phenomenal job boarding our dog. We feel comfortable going out of town knowing that Sari will take good care of our little girl! Sari is great with communication and updates us on how our pup is doing while we are away, and even sends the occasional photo! She pays careful attention to our dog's diet and gives her lots of love and attention. Our dog loves Sari so much that we have a hard time getting her to come back home with us after her walks or appointments!”
