Pet care experience
I've been taking care of a variety of dogs since I was 12. Starting with family members dogs then moving on to walking, feeding, and checking on neighbors dogs. Eventually I took on a job at a local grooming/boarding facility and worked there for 5 years. While I was there I learned the fine art of taking care of customers four legged family members in a professional setting. On top of learning how to fully groom dogs, I also gained experience in handling a variety of canine personalities in group play, staying one step ahead of unsafe situations, how to give proper medications and food to multiple dogs at once, properly cleaning and disinfecting messes, working around personality quirks safely/peacefully, and most importantly how to better keep fur babies happy, safe, and comfortable as possible until their family returned. Since my years working professionally with dogs I have continued to use my experiance to watch and groom family members and friends dogs just for the joy of it! My husband Chris may help me walk or watch dogs when they stay with us. He has had dogs his entire life and grew up breeding, raising, and showing them. He is very experianced with proper canine care and is a caring "pack leader". Our current pup thinks the world of him!
Reviews
Abby was wonderful with all 3 of our dogs. I loved getting pictures at each visit. I would highly recommend her and I would definitely use her again.
Abby was awesome. My pup was more than worn out when she got home! Super flexible with drop-off and pick-up time which helped me out a ton. Would highly recommend Abby and we will definitely be using her again!
Abby communicated quickly and thoroughly throughout the booking and sitting process. I really appreciate her family taking such great care of our Lobo while we were away. I'll definitely book again!
They watched our dogs and cats when we were on vacation, did a fabulous job the dog's loved them. They are very good with all of our animals. I highly recommend them for the job.

Safety, trust & environment
At our home pets are part of the family. We currently do not have a fenced in yard but have 17 acres of pasture, creek, and woods that can be explored on several leashed walks throughout the day. We also are not far from the Rock Island trail and can stretch our legs there as well. I can do kennels if needed but also have an area in our home were dog/dogs (that live together) can roam comfortably when we are not at home with them. Our dog is friendly and lazy but will play once in awhile with friendly pups. The cats are mostly outdoor cats and keep their distance when unfamiliar dogs are around. We do have a toddler but we do not let them handle our pets or others inappropriately ( pull on, kick, scream at, hit, bite, climb on top of, sit on, or get up in faces).

A typical day
At our place dogs will have the opportunity to go on multiple walks through out the day and explore pastures, creeks and woods. We also are located near the rock island trail so we can stretch our legs there as well. If hosting a playful pup we can play fetch or any other games they enjoy. For the less energetic canines we can offer a back porch to sunbathe on and quiet relaxing indoor areas to lounge in.

Availability
I currently work full time but I'm available most evenings after 5 for dog walking, letting a pup out, or for a single night stay during the week. I am available all day most Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. So I'm great for those weekend getaways.
