Philly's Phriendliest Dog Sitter!

Pet care experience

***COVID-19 Statement*** I am fully vaccinated and still closely following all CDC recommended prevention and protection guidelines. I will not work while sick, and ask that you alert me if you or anyone in your household does not feel well or is sick. ********************************************************************************************* Hi there! Looking for your fur child's newest bff? Stuck on Zoom calls all day and want to keep Fabulous Fido busy? Going to visit Grandma this weekend but don't want to risk Silly Spot jumping on her new hip replacement? Have so many errands to run but Daring Daisy would rather go for her own run? Did Naughty Nelly roll in some mud this weekend and needs a bath with her Monday mid-day walk? Are you Batman and need your furry Robin watched during some of your more daring missions? If any of these situations sound familiar to you, have no fear! I am here to provide your furry friend with all the rambunctious play, loving cuddles, dedicated attention, and adventurous walks they need while you're away. I know you would probably rather be at home with your favorite companions all day every day, and I wish I had a furry friend to keep me company while I study for my doctorate, so let's help each other out! I've had dogs and horses my whole life, including raising 6 puppies over the years and co-parenting dogs of all sizes. They live with family now but my fiancé and I welcomed home a new Biewer terrier puppy last year who would love to have a playmate visit! I have experience with all sorts of dogs, including a 3lb Yorkie princess to alpha male schutzhund trained German shepherds, and have experience caring for dogs with special needs/epilepsy or other medical issues, administering oral or topical medication, tending to injuries that require specific care or movement restrictions, and even worked with a stubborn pup that would only eat if hand-fed. I promise you I will treat your best furry friend as if they are my own and give them all the love and care my heart has to give! The fine [paw]print: - Rover defines doggy daycare as ~9 hours with a drop off between 7-9am and pickup between 4-6pm, but I understand that sometimes things happen so I’ve adjusted my hours to be as flexible as possible! These are my rates: 0-11 hours: doggy daycare rate 12-24 hours: Overnight boarding rate - if the pickup from boarding is more than 24 hours from the drop off time there may be an additional daycare rate added to your dog’s stay *There may be an additional fee for drop offs before 7am and pickups after 8pm I know this is a lot of information but it is my goal to be as open and friendly as possible and I appreciate you taking the time to read through it all. If you made it all the way down here, I’ll be sure to give your pup an extra treat when we meet!

Abigail took great care of Obie! I'm always nervous about leaving him but Abigail was very accommodating and so friendly and I could tell Obie felt comfortable being around her and Dolly. He enjoyed his stay and made new friends. Thank you so much Abigail- we look forward to seeing you and Dolly again soon.

Abigail is super sweet and loves dogs! She treated my puppy Clover like she was her own, and has a super adorable puppy named Dolly who got along great with my pup. She was extremely responsive and gave me updates all day. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable dog sitter :)

Abigail is the best! She was so attentive prior to and during the visit. She was so welcoming to make time to watch Nacho while we were in the area. She made sure to send updates and pictures during his stay. Nacho had a blast!

Information Abigail E. would like to know about your pet

- What is your dog's temperament? - What is his/her favorite treat? - Are you working on any training goals that I can reinforce during my visit? - Does your pup have any special needs, quirks, or things I should know? - Last but not least...where is their favorite spot for scratches and petting?

A typical day

I live in the heart of Center City surrounded by plentiful parks that I'd love to explore with your pup, keeping them safe away from busy sidewalks and icky concrete as much as possible. (We'll only cruise the dog parks if your pup is friendly and the park is approved by you aka their human(s)! I grew up on a farm so my favorite thing to do is get out of the city for some fresh air and trail adventures too if time allows. Some of my favorite trails nearby are in Wissahickon park and I've got a car if your pup has the energy! If weather is an issue, I'll gladly spend the rest of my time loving on your pup once they've done their business outside.
