Pet care experience
Dogs provide so much love, energy, and playfulness in my life! I’ve been a lifetime dog owner and a professional walker/sitter for two years now, and I just couldn’t imagine my life without pups. I really enjoy the presence of dogs and being able to give them exercise and cuddles and bonding with them. Being able to help each other lead a healthy and happy lifestyle is what I enjoy most about sitting and walking! I currently have a four-year-old Bichon Frise named Zoey, who is super sweet and friendly and gets along with everybody! But in addition to being an owner, I’ve also volunteered with pups and have worked with them in many different capacities. I volunteered at Bidawee Animal Shelter for some time, and helped out with tons of different dogs in lots of different ways! I love pups of all kinds! I typically like to set up a meet-and-greet for any new clients, as it provides me with a great opportunity to make sure that your pup and I are a good fit for one another. I typically make fast friends with dogs, so I’m sure we will get along great! It’s also a good time for me to chat with owners about their pup and their expectations for a stay. I’m always happy to go the extra mile, so please let me know how I can make that happen! During a stay, I’ll always be available to answer any questions. I know how difficult it can be to be away from your best friend, so I’m happy to make sure that time is as easy as possible! I try to stick to your pup’s schedule as closely as possible so they feel right at home with me. I’m also happy to send daily check-ins so you can know just how your pup is doing and what we’ve done during the day.
Reviews
Abby was amazing. Incredibly easy to work with. She loved our dogs and took such great care of them.
Abby was wonderful and great to communicate with! This was the first time we left winsley (our 2yo mini dachshund) with anyone outside of family and we were so nervous! Abby was comforting and very reassuring - she asked pertinent questions about his care and listened to our wants/needs! The meet and greet was lovely and we felt comfortable right away. During the stay, she kept us updated constantly and sent a bunch of photos to us (which we loved!). It was also great that Zoey is such a sociable and sweet pup herself and Winsley had a playmate. He definitely misses her now! We are SUPER thankful to have found Abby + Zoey and it really made our first experience with a sitter so positive. Would definitely recommend!
Abby was great with our girl! She sent pictures and kept me informed throughout the day. I look forward to calling on her again for walks and dog sitting.
Abby is great, she’s prompt and responded really quickly to messages. Would definitely repeat! Thanks so much!

Information Abby C. would like to know about your pet
Some things I like to learn ahead of time: Would you like to schedule a meet-and-greet before the stay? What’s your preferred method of communication? Does your pup have any health issues that need to be tended to? For instance, dietary restrictions, medicine, or behavior triggers? Do you have a vet nearby that you trust? Is your dog spayed/neutered? Does your pup like to stick to a given schedule, like regular walks in the morning and evening? What does your pup do well around? What does your pup try to avoid? What’s the best way to spoil your pup?
A typical day
Your pup and I would go for multiple walks throughout the day, play at the park, and play some fetch together to stay happy and healthy! At home, we’ll make sure to get even more playtime in and schedule plenty of time in for cuddles. I usually try to go to parks and grassy areas, and, if I know they get along with most dogs, try to head out to the nearest dog park to meet some new friends together! I also love going on long walks together. I like to explore the city in my free time by finding new places to shop and eat. I can take dogs anywhere with me! I am free almost everyday so it would be easy for me to provide as much attention as possible!
