About: With dogs and cats as part of my family since childhood, I’ve developed a deep love and understanding for our furry friends. I’ve happily pet sat and dog walked many times, making sure each pet feels cared for and cherished. My experience as a kennel assistant at a busy boarding facility taught me valuable skills in pet care and medical treatment, ensuring every animal’s health and happiness. I also worked at a rescue, where I cared for dogs and cats of various breeds—feeding, grooming, and supporting those who had faced tough times, helping them on their journey to loving furever homes. Whether it’s dog walking, cat and dog sitting, or quick check-ins, I bring passion, kindness, and plenty of experience to every visit, making sure your pets feel safe, loved, and joyful while you’re away. I'm currently on summer break from college so I would be available during the week from 9am-7pm. And for long-term and weekend sittings with notice. When caring for pets in my client’s home, safety, trust, and environment are my top priorities. Having grown up with dogs and cats, and with hands-on experience working in a kennel and animal rescue, I understand the importance of creating a calm, secure space where pets feel comfortable and loved. I always follow each pet’s unique routines, including feeding, walking, and playtime, to maintain their familiar environment and reduce stress. My background in medical care and rescue taught me to be attentive to any health needs or behavioral cues, ensuring prompt and gentle responses. Building trust comes naturally by being consistent, patient, and respectful of each pet’s personality—whether it’s a playful kitten or a senior dog. I treat every home as if it were my care while providing compassionate care that keeps pets safe, happy, and relaxed while their family is away.
About: I was previously a manager at a doggy daycare in Chicago, where I worked hands-on with dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments. During my time there, I gained valuable insights into dog behavior from our top trainers. My responsibilities included socializing puppies, administering medication to senior dogs, providing 20-minute relief walks throughout the day, and preparing individualized meals. After leaving the daycare, my passion for understanding canine behavior deepened, and I began pursuing professional training. I earned my dog training certification through PetSmart, where I later taught group classes. I led a variety of courses, including: • Puppy Class – covering potty training, crate training, predicting behavior, and basic commands • Intermediate Class – focusing on leash walking, stays, and environmental cues • Trick Class – teaching fun and engaging behaviors • Advanced/CGC Prep – preparing dogs and owners for the Canine Good Citizen (CGC) test I taught these classes for a year before moving to North Carolina, where I now live on a farm and continue my education as a trainer. I’ve worked with a wide range of dogs, including blind dogs, flood and lab rescues, German Shepherds, Dobermans, mixed breeds, and more. I primarily use positive reinforcement methods but am currently expanding into balanced training to better serve dogs with a variety of needs. I'm currently just working part time on the weekends and have full availability: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday to give your furry friend all the love and attention they need. Will follow pets normal routine ex. feeding, walking, playtime. I personally don't mind animals on furniture but will follow whatever rules the pet is used too.

“My new rescue is timid and generally takes a while to warm up to people. I wasn't real sure if she would even allow a stranger for a walk. Abbie has accompanied my sweet Marlee the last 2 nights and she did great with her! Makes this dog Mom happy to know someone can help be there while I work. I definitely recommend Abbie!”

Haley W.
“Haley is one of the kindest people I have ever met and truly lights up a room when she walks in. Her love for animals is evident in everything she does. Haley has always had a deep passion for animals, and she even left her previous job because she felt that the corporate setting didn't allow for the level of love and proper care that animals deserve. This decision highlights the high standards she holds for animal care. Although Haley has not been my dog walker, she is one of only two people I trust to watch my dog. Whenever Haley is around, she gives my dog so much love and attention, and my dog absolutely adores her. I highly recommend Haley for anyone looking for a dedicated and compassionate dog walker.”
