Will give ur dog my full attention

Pet care experience

I have been a dog owner my whole life. I understand how much love and loyalty they give and I give that right back. I am a highly active person and will be a good fit to walk any type of dog from low to high energy breeds. I understand how important it is to welcome someone into your home and trust them with your house and pet. I have experience pet sitting dogs of varying sizes, from a Boston Terrier to a Great Dane and everything in between. I will make you feel comfortable as I am an approachable and trustworthy person. I look forward to getting to know you and your pet. I am available during normal business hours Monday-Friday and some weekends.

Abby is the greatest. She has watched my "kids" on several occasions and every time they give her tons of love and snuggles and I come home to very happy happy kids.

Abby was excellent with the "kids". She took them on long walks so they came home and just "chilled" for her. I got lots of pics while I was gone. She enjoyed her stay even with early bird "Cooper" getting her up in the morning. She will be back again soon. It is nice to know I can go away and know that they are getting lots of love and attention.

I’m so happy that I found Abby to take care of my two cats while I was away for nine days. The first time I met her I felt at ease knowing I could go away and not worry about them. She is kind and caring and my cats were very comfortable with her the two times she came to the house before I left. She is amazing! They have a specific eating routines due to one cat having medicated food and she was awesome at executing, which is not always easy for me. She sent me pictures and updates and I could see they were happy and well taken care of. I plan on calling her again! Thank you so much!

I live in a studio apartment so pet sitting at your home is preferred although I can care for your pet at my home if needed. I do not have a fenced in yard so I'll be able to provideat leat three long walks a day. They will be allowed to snuggle on my bed when we are relaxing in my apartment.

Information Abby K. would like to know about your pet

I would like a brief run down of their routine. Are they typically happy or hesitant when they approach people? This is important to know for when we go out in public. Do they play well with other dogs/humans? Are there certain spots on their body that a person should not pet. (eg.My mother's dog does not like to have his ears touched and can be a little aggressive when someone rubs them.)

A typical day

If your neighborhood has any good parks or walking paths that allow dogs you can be sure that we will be there frequently. If your dog LOVES car rides I would be happy to take them on a drive. Please share with me any fun activities or spots you take your dog and I will be sure to follow through.
