Your Dog’s New Best Friend

Hi, I’m Abby! I’ve been a dog lover my entire life and grew up with family dogs, learning firsthand the importance of patience, routine, and lots of love. Although I don’t currently have a dog of my own, caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and I’ll treat your pet like they’re part of my family. In my professional career, attention to detail, responsibility, and reliability are essential, and I bring those same qualities to every pet I care for, because I understand that trusting someone with your furry family member is a big decision. I have a flexible work schedule and can often work remotely with advance notice, allowing me to spend plenty of time with your dog throughout the day. On days I’m in the office, I’m only a few minutes away and can stop home during lunch or breaks when needed. My goal is to keep your pet comfortable, active, and well cared for while you’re away. I live in a pet-friendly apartment community with plenty of grassy areas and walking paths, making it a great environment for walks, potty breaks, and outdoor time. While I don’t have a fenced yard, your dog’s safety is always my top priority, and they will never be outside unsupervised. When you book with me, you can expect: * Plenty of love, attention, and playtime * Frequent walks and potty breaks * Regular photo and video updates * Care tailored to your dog’s routine, including medications if needed * Prompt communication and flexible scheduling whenever possible Whether your dog enjoys playing, exploring, or simply relaxing with someone nearby, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pup before your booking to make sure everyone feels comfortable. I look forward to treating your dog like one of my own!

Schedule

I have a flexible work schedule and can often work remotely with advance notice, giving me the opportunity to spend quality time with your pet throughout the day. When I’m needed in the office, I’m only a few minutes away and can check in during lunch or breaks as needed. Whether your pet loves playtime, walks, or relaxing at home, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention and care while you’re away.

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I live in a clean, pet-friendly apartment community with plenty of grassy areas and walking paths for potty breaks and exercise. Because I don’t have a fenced yard, all outdoor time is supervised and dogs are always kept on a leash unless you have specifically instructed otherwise in a secure, designated area. I take the time to learn each dog’s routine, feeding schedule, medications, and any special needs to provide personalized care. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I’ll treat them with the same love, patience, and attention I would give my own. I’ll also provide regular photo and video updates so you can feel confident knowing your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.

A typical day

Every dog is different, so I like to tailor each day to their personality, energy level, and routine. Whether your pup enjoys playing fetch, tug-of-war, going on walks around the neighborhood or nearby parks, practicing basic commands, or simply relaxing with plenty of cuddles and attention, I’ll make sure they receive the care they need. My goal is to keep your dog’s routine as consistent as possible so they feel safe, comfortable, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’ll also send regular photo and video updates throughout their stay, so you can enjoy your time away knowing exactly how your furry friend is doing.

Please tell me about your dog’s personality, daily routine, favorite activities, feeding schedule, medications, allergies, and any special needs or behavioral quirks. I’d also love to know about any fears, triggers, or commands they respond well to. The more I know beforehand, the better I can make your dog feel safe, comfortable, and right at home while you’re away.
