❤️ Experienced Dog Lover ❤️

Pet care experience

I specialize in care of sight hounds!!! I love dogs and want them all to have the best care. I had sweet Italian Greyhounds that I loved with all of my heart. I raised my IG’s from 6 weeks old but have since lost both of them. I am very particular about caring for dogs and would only give them the most attention and care. I understand what it's like to love a dog and treat it just like family. My friend and co-worker owns a kennel and I have helped her many times. I have several quality references available upon request. Why I love dog sitting I love dogs and their individual personalities. They make everything better in the world today. I was raised with dogs and have always had at least one in the home.

Abby has been great with our 2 small chihuahuas. She’s been helping us watch them with drop in visits and home stays for over 5 years. Very dependable and excellent communication. I know the pups are always excited for her visits and we love having someone we can trust.

Abby has been helping out our family for a couple of years now. She is very communicative, responsible, and so loving to our pets! We have 2 dogs, a cat and other small creatures. She’s by far the best overnight pet sitter we know!

Abby has been dog/house sitting for us for the last several years. We trust her beyond measure. On her last visit we had a scare, and she had to take our dog to the ER. She kept us updated and stayed in the ER with our dog until we were able to get there. If it weren’t for her fast action, I’m unsure what would have happened. She is so caring and a genuinely amazing person. I can’t recommend her enough. It’s also a great sign that during the busy season (summer, spring break, etc.) she books well in advance so be sure to get on her calendar before we do!

I do not currently offer sitting in my home. I will stay at the owner’s home and care for the dogs there. Any details can be arranged in a meet up.

Information Abby L. would like to know about your pet

When staying in your home, I will need to discuss with you the needs of your dog (s). I will have to know if they are ok alone, if they need crated, feeding schedule, sleeping arrangements, and how much over all attention they need.

A typical day

Time I'll spend with your dog: -30 minutes are included in the walking fee per dog, $3 extra for each additional dog. If your pet requires more time, please let me know. -For over nights in your home, ultimately it will be up to you to set times and rules. -I can provide bathing services while sitting in your home. Prices vary on size, weight, and any special requirements. Please contact me with a custom price. -Holidays and extended stays (more than 5 nights) are $10 extra per night. -I normally do not accept dogs in my own home, but will on limited and special circumstances, just contact me for pricing and availability. I work M-F and have an hour lunch break that I am happy to spend with your dog as long as your home is within a 7-10 mile radius from my job (Waverly Area & Cotswold). I usually work 8AM-5PM, however, that is not always set in stone. I am willing to work out any schedule that you are comfortable with and that works out best for you and your dog(s). Extra house-sitting services: I am up for anything extra that may be needed such as: checking mail, tidying up, watering plants, turning lights on/off, for the "lived in" look.
