I’d like to know if your dog has any particular fears (thunder, other dogs, bikes, etc.), as well as their favorite activities, and any health concerns they may have.

A typical day

I love getting outside and into parks and woods. I am happy to go for long walks, explore news trails, play fetch, give belly scrubs and ear rubs, play tug of war with a new stick we find on our walk, and chase after balls or play soccer. I love visiting the Fells and Pine Banks park!

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Abbie and I am a born animal lover. I learned how to care for dogs from growing up with my beautiful Yellow Lab named Holly. I have cared for many dogs (cats and other pets, too) over the years. This included a mischievous, escape artist Pug, a very nervous Boston Terrier, and an elderly lab that needed daily medication. I have a rescue pup named Sunny that I can’t get enough of 🤗. Spending time with your dog or cat would be my pleasure and, hopefully, a relief for you, to have an attentive caregiver for your pet. I love spending time outdoors and am able to bathe and give medication to dogs as needed. Thank you for considering me!
