Own a Dog-Walking Business!

Pet care experience

Hi All! My name is Abby! I am a biologist at the NYSDEC :) I know that leaving your pets is one of the hardest things to do ... EVER! I have first-hand experience, trust me. I have 2 goldens at home and honestly love watching dogs or cats whenever I can. I started my own Dog Walking Business in Highschool and have had more than 12+ customers since! Many repeats, and much more than just dog-walking. I have gained lots of experience as a pre-vet major in undergrad and am just really obsessed with dogs (&animals in general). I would to love to watch your pet(s) to help out and honestly really miss having a dog in the house! Always makes my day better when I am around dogs:) I have watched various breeds of all sizes so I am confident I can handle anything! I also really enjoy running in my free time so would be more than happy to run with any high-energy dog if needed! I can also house sit, dog walk, bring in mail/newspaper & take lots of pics of your pups (that is a given!). Whatever you need, I will try my best to accommodate:) Most likely will not be taking any trips at all this summer, so I will be around! Please reach out if you have any further questions or want more information! I am currently working full-time, so I will only be able to help out with your pups (and pets) on weekends and after 5pm! Reach out for more info:) Unfortunately my apartment complex does not allow dogs for anyone living above the first floor. So, I will not be able to board your pets but I can come to you!

Abby was wonderful with all my pets. They all warmed up to her in no time which is unusual for my older cat and my youngest one. Charly, my dog loved her from the first minute! Abby went above and beyond taking care of all of them and kept me informed frequently.

Abby was amazing with my dogs. Because of COVID this was the first time in over a year that we were leaving our babies. She was extremely reliable and the dogs were great with her. Both of my dogs are rescue dogs and because of COVID I could not socialize my little hound. Abby took her time and gained the dogs trust. She was AWESOME. I will definitely have her for a sitter again.

Abby was an amazing dog sitter. She had a calm and confident way with our anxious golden retriever puppy. She gave us lots of updates and even sent pictures. She was an absolute joy to have watch our dog. You will not regret hiring her! Our town is lucky to have such a great option in dog/pet sitting.
