A Mountain Retreat for Your Pup!

Pet care experience

I have sat, walked and cared for animals for more than 15 years. Anxious pups that typically can't handle people other than their owners are often able to connect with me. I've spent time with every age and personality imaginable (young, old, hyper, anxious, calm, etc.) for friends and local families in Boulder. Each one has made an impact on my life. Caring for multiple dogs in the house since I could walk taught me how to love. Through my goldendoodle who lived until 16, I also learned how to care for dogs as they reach old age and what it means to give them the best, most fulfilling life possible.

Abby is a wonderful dog + home sitter. She connected so well with our pup, got him lots of exercise and quality care, and took meticulous care of our home. I’d recommend Abby in a heartbeat.

Abby is a wonderful person for both dog and owners to get to relate with. I look for someone who is utmost trustworthy, easy to relate with, available, reliable and especially someone my dog likes. Abby is all that. My dog has some issues and i REALLY need a pet sitter who can feel my dog's energy and give her what she needs. I need a dog sitter who shows up present in herself and present for my dog - as much of a replacement for myself as possible. Thanks Abby!!!

Abby was awesome! We have an eclectic group (two cats and two pus), one of our dogs has Addison’s Disease and I’m always super protective of her but I could tell from our first meet that Abby made a connection with them and I knew they were going to be in good hands. She stayed in contact and sent updates. We came back home to happy mugs, totally spoiled! ?

Abby was so sweet and lovely with my dog Finnley! She sent regular text and photo updates, including photos of Finnley snuggled up in her bed. She also gave him a last evening walk right before I picked him up, which was very thoughtful. Finnley was relaxed and happy when I picked him up, I could tell he had a good time!

Information Abby G. would like to know about your pet

I adjust well to any kind of pup, but it will be helpful to know: 1. What does their typical day look like? 2. Do they have any specific triggers I should know about? 3. Do they get along well with other dogs/animals? 4. Do they have any exercise limitations? Favorite spots they love? 6. Any allergies or food sensitivities? 7. Any specific training you're using with them? 8. Their vet information (in case of emergency)

A typical day

We can walk, hike, or run daily. I am familiar with trails in the area and know some special spots from living in town over the years. There's always time to relax and play inside, too.

I am currently teaching yoga after six years in the marketing world, so most of my time is spent at home or downtown teaching for a few hours throughout the week. I enjoy hiking, yoga, barefoot walks, and dancing. I am incredibly active and walk/run on the mountain as much as possible (and always bring the pups).
