Abbie was wonderful with my very particular dog who doesn't like people he doesn't know (and his anxious owner). He even warmed up to her by the end of her stay! She listened to all of my pets needs, asked questions ahead of time, and communicated with me throughout her stay. I would definitely book with her again!

Abigail is the best. We HIGHLY recommend her for your pet’s needs! She understood everything about our dogs and cared for them like they were her own. She communicated frequently so we knew our two dogs were happy and safe. She was very respectful of our home while staying with our dogs. She left the house cleaner than when we left! Such a great experience, and we will definitely ask her to look after them again. Thanks so much Abigail :)

Abigail helped me to understand why my dog makio is so anxious and stressed out related not used to be apart from her mom. I didnt know the anxious or stress actually hurtful to her health and Abigail found some way to help to cut makio’s stress or disract her. Abigail gave makio her favorite sweet brown cow doll. She is best !!

What a fantastic experience with abbie. I was so nervous when our usual dog sitter was not available to watch our 5 year old yorkipoo for our 10 day vacation. Abbie was kind and showed her love for animals from the beginning! She was kind enough to take time for a meet and greet with our boy and her sweet dog before our trip which left me confident for our trip! She sent tons of pictures and updates and we were so relieved to have our boy in good hands! I would absolutely recommend her services and am so thankful we found her!

Schedule

I have my own smaller dog and a cat, my day starts early at their beck and call! I feed them and then we go for the first oa at least four walks a day. There are cuddles and play time, treats and scratches behind the ears. Outside time in the fenced back yard and ever more walkies!

Pets

A typical day

We play a lot of fetch and chase at my house, I also like to hide things for my pup to find throughout the day. I have shuffle mats and tons of toys. And every once in a while, I put on pet T.V. and we all watch squirrels on the big screen! In summer I set up water play and prepare frozen treats. In fall we take extra walks and find crunchy pinecones. In winter, we cuddle or zoomies in the snow!

Pets are as individual as we are, medical concerns are always first. Medications and heart conditions, diabetes or seizure disorders. Allergies are also very important. Is you pet scared of thunder storms? Do they have a spot they really don't like to be pet? Is there a part of their routine I might need to replicate? And of course, what are their favorite things? Snacks and toys, favorite sounds even! I want to know it all!
