Happy Paws, Happy Hearts: Expert Care & Adventures

Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of animals since I was 8 years old. My family used to breed Labrador Retrievers, Rottweilers, and Bichon Shih Tzus. I have trained multiple puppies from birth to 6months+. I’ve administered medications for senior dogs. Walked anything from a Yorkie to a Great Dane.

Abigail took care of our cat for 2 weeks while we travelled. She is excellent. Great at giving updates and took very good care of our Wally. Highly recommend.

Cannot recommend Abigail enough! She is so amazing with our two cats and continues to go above and beyond to make sure they feel loved and cared for while we’re away! You can really tell she cares for them and it is so comforting to know that when traveling! She has been absolutely lovely to work with! <3

Could not recommend Abigail enough!! She is so helpful, responsible and went above and beyond looking after our two kittens. Helped us out after we had a last min change of plans. 11/10!

Safety, trust & environment

When entrusted with the care of pets, I prioritize their safety, trust, and environmental needs above all else. I create a secure environment by meticulously pet-proofing spaces, removing potential hazards, and ensuring that they have access to safe areas to explore. Establishing trust is paramount; I take the time to understand each pet's individual temperament and preferences, approaching them with gentle patience and providing consistent routines. Additionally, I maintain an enriching environment, offering stimulating toys, cozy resting spots, and regular exercise to cater to their mental and physical well-being. This combination of safety, trust, and a thoughtfully curated environment fosters an atmosphere where pets can thrive and feel truly cared for.

Information Abigail C. would like to know about your pet

Before I take on the responsibility of caring for your beloved pet, it's crucial for me to have a comprehensive understanding of their unique needs and behaviors. Any special requirements, whether it's dietary restrictions, specific medications, or medical conditions, should be communicated clearly. Additionally, knowing their behavioral tendencies, such as any fears, anxieties, or particular triggers, allows me to create a comfortable and stress-free environment. Insight into their social preferences, interactions with other animals, and level of activity helps me tailor activities to their liking. By being armed with this vital information ahead of time, I can ensure a seamless and enjoyable experience for your pet, fostering a strong bond and a safe, nurturing environment during our time together.

A typical day

When caring for the dogs, I believe in keeping their tails wagging and spirits high. We'll embark on exciting adventures to spacious parks, allowing them ample room to run, play fetch, and socialize with furry friends. In the summertime, I have a special treat in store – refreshing visits to water spots like dog-friendly beaches or tranquil lakesides, where they can splash around and cool off. Safety is paramount, so I'll always ensure a secure environment for water play. These outings not only provide physical exercise but also mental stimulation, ensuring their overall well-being and leaving them with happy memories of our time together.
