Pet Trainer/Sitter in Fort Bragg!

Pet care experience

I am a certified professional dog trainer who has a love for all animals. I have an extensive animal background in vet services, training, and shelter rehabilitation. I'm comfortable working with any type of animal as I've owned a variety of different animals from your typical dogs, cats, and rodents to snakes, tarantulas, birds, and even livestock. Let me know if I can care for your feathered, furry, scaly, and other exotic pets as well! *Ask me about nail trims/basic grooming!*

Luckily I have a cameras for my home. Otherwise I wouldn’t have known. She failed to communicate with me that there was a “dog outside” so she had only taking my dogs out for 3 minutes in which they weren’t able to use the bathroom and one of them had to defecated in the house because of it. I do know my dogs and they may bark at a dog but that is not a reason to push the service later, which is what she told me, when I had another 30 minute service I had set 4 hrs later. I requested that specific time for a reason. I was so untrusting I called service to cancel for second service and had to rely on a acquaintance. I paid for 30 minutes of her time, and she gave me 10. She did feed my dogs after the 3 min walk which is what took up time, if she didn’t i probably would’ve seen her come and go after 5.

If you are like me and worry about leaving your dog behind with a stranger, trust me when I say your dog is in the best hands with Abby! She is amazing with our pup Rollo and he loves going to stay with her. Her passion is dogs and it shows! You will not have a worry in the world leaving your dog with her.
