About Abbey B.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I have access to many parks within walking distance, as well as a fenced deck (concrete) and large wire crate (with a divider to accommodate different size animals). If at your own home, I promise to be respectful of your space, uphold whatever level of communication makes you feel comfortable, and follow all necessary instructions. This service is meant to relieve stress, not add more!
Information Abbey B. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your pet has any special needs, allergies, mobility issues, triggers, fears, or if there is anything else I should be aware of. I want to be sure your animal is as comfortable as possible while they are in my care.
A typical day
My favorite place to walk my own dog is by the water. It allows for so many sensory experiences and space to tire out even the most energetic pup. With so many smells, places to play, and trails to run/walk, it's always a fun time. There is also a dog park nearby that promotes socialization and lots of fun smells. If you would prefer to keep your dog away from public parks and trails, Old Town has a wonderful sidewalk loop that will not only give your dog an exercise opportunity, but will also naturally file their nails so you don't have to pay for expensive trimmers or bring them to the vet. I can run, walk, or a mixture of both, depending on your pup's joint mobility and preferences. If you have a place you'd prefer I bring your furry friend, please let me know!

Your pet's second favorite human
Pet care experience
Energetic young woman who, after 17 years of hoping to become a veterinarian, is making her way through Physician Assistant school. Of course I am dedicated and responsible, but that's only half the battle! What is far more important to note is that I am an absolute animal lover. I am originally from Seattle and have had 5 Golden Retrievers throughout my life - one who went to college with me and is my best friend in the whole wide world. Since then, I have added a rescue hound and cat, both with medical issues. Rest assured I will treat your pup (or kitty!) as my own. I am active and love to be outdoors, but it's so much better when a furry friend (or two, or three) tag along :) I completely understand how busy and hectic life can get, and you never want your animal to be bored. Contact me to plan your pet's *best day ever*!
Reviews
Abbey was very communicative and great with getting our very shy cats comfortable. Thank you again!
Abbey was great and my really skittish dog had fun with her!
Abbey gave my two cats a lot of love and attention while we were gone!
Abbey is awesome! She took exceptional care of my kitties, one of whom requires oral meds twice daily. She’s thoughtful and communicative throughout. I so appreciate her care for the cats and things like plants during a heat wave. I’m thrilled to book Abbey again!
