Safety, trust & environment

I love a detailed note on your animals routine, habits, likes and dislikes and any home care instructions and follow that to a tee!:) I also am able to asses needs at a meet and greet and like to keep routines as similar as possible so the transition is seamless for pets and humans, alike. :)

Information Abby J. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know any behaviors I can expect to see (or not to see) while you’re away. I’m happy to help reinforce any training you’re working on as well :)

A typical day

I always take time to have play time with that favorite ball or toy! I make sure there is ample love and pets and the right amount of treats. Exploring the area with walks is always so fun to learn the best routes (and sniffs) around!

Pets

Loving, thoughtful & attentive

Pet care experience

I’ve cared for cats and dogs of all sizes for family, friends and clients. I love spending time playing and cuddling with new furry friends! I work remotely with flexibility throughout the work day, week and weekends. I have availability to stay for longer time periods to take care of home and fur babies. When animal sitting in your home I spend ample time to keep your pet company and follow all care and house instructions. I specialize in providing care for long stays and trips ( as well as a weekend away), caring for senior dogs, giving ample exercise for active dogs and/ or caring for large breeds.

Abby is sweet, thoughtful & easy going. My babygirl loves her and was able to relax and sleep a bit. I felt confident in her which isn’t easy for me when trusting someone to watch my baby! Thank you Abby 🫶🏼

What a wonderful month+ for Scout. Dana, you have a friend for life! I am also feeling very fortunate to have you in charge of Scout while we traveled to see family in CA. I can not thank you enough for the tender loving care you gave Scout to let me visit family for 6 weeks. It was a long time, but I think she loved her time with Dana!! 🩷

I love that Scout is so happy, and playful, and purring every time she has Dana to play with and brush her. She is one lucky kitty! Thanks Dana💕
