Caring, organized and respectful!

Pet care experience

I’ve been around dogs my entire life and grew up with Golden Retrievers. My husband and I now have a Golden who is our fur baby. I love taking care of dogs and getting to know their unique personalities! Many of our friends and family members also have dogs, so I am very comfortable and familiar with all sizes of fur babies! I am a special education teacher and have the summer off. My husband and I (and our fur baby) are usually busy during the summer time weekends, so I’m looking for something to keep me busy and get me out of the house during the summer weeks when we’re in town! We live in a quiet, safe neighborhood on a cul-de-sac. Our fur baby enjoys watching the squirrels and deer roam in our back woods. We be sure to tie up our dog so he stays on our property when outside. We are about a quarter mile walk from a park, so we spend a lot of time playing fetch there!

Tbone seemed to be very much at ease when I picked him up. His care was good.

Information Abby K. would like to know about your pet

I like to know first off, how your dog does with new people. What are some important things I should know when I meet your pet? How can I accommodate both your needs and your pet's needs? What is their day-to-day routine like, and what can I do to assure things go smoothly? Does your pet do well with other dogs? I prefer more details and information just so we're all on the same page!

A typical day

Our fur baby, Haggard, enjoys playing fetch and going for walks. We usually go for walks in our neighborhood or through our nearby park. Sometimes we will take a car ride over to the softball fields and throw the ball too. We like to throw the ball off of our back deck and play tug-of-war with the toy rope. After wearing out our energy, we sit back and watch sports on the TV or relax on the deck in the nice weather!
