Pet care experience
Grew up surrounded by animals with as many as 4 dogs in the house at once. I was the main dog walker for my family (we had 1 golden, 1 basset and 2 chihuahuas ALL AT ONE TIME!) and enjoyed taking them to dog parks and obedience training. My passion for animals extended to college where I have a BA in Zoology with a focus in Animal Behavior. I can’t wait to meet your pet and spend some quality time enjoying the outdoors!
Reviews
Abigail was way to communicate with and came through for a last minute walk for my frenchie over Memorial Day weekend. I will definitely call her again!
Abigail is a thoughtful, attentive, and loving caretaker to my three dogs. Abigail always meets the unique needs of my dogs including feeling schedules and medication management. Abigail takes extra care in walking our reactive dog, and she is patient with our dog who takes her time sniffing. Even when tasked with two 70lb dogs and a 12lb dog, Abigail is calm and collected. I would trust her to care for my dogs again!
Abigail has been our tried and true dog sitter for the past 4 years. Our lovely Bailey is a young pitbull mix with tons of energy and an infatuation with Abigail. She takes such great care of her while we are gone which makes going on trips stress-free. She sends us pictures during the day so we get to see her and enjoy the fun she is having while we are gone. I couldn't recommend her enough for any of your needs dog sitting, dog walking, etc - she is the best!
I would highly recommend Abigail for taking care of your pet! She is wonderful with my dog, who as a senior dog, requires extra attention. Abigail is very loving and treats my dog like she's part of the family! I will add she is extremely personable, responsible, caring and trustworthy.

Safety, trust & environment
I have two Guinea Pigs at home who love to play with me rolling hay balls and chewing cardboard (sometimes we play light tug of war with a tube). I am excited to get back to spending time with other animals like I did when I was growing up.
Information Abigail R. would like to know about your pet
Is there a type of interaction your dog likes or doesn’t like (ex: ear scratching)? Is your dog comfortable with other dogs? Are their areas on walks we should avoid?
A typical day
I love expending energy by going on engaging walks, playing with toys and overall social stimulation. I have a beautiful park near my house and access to a paved path along a river that isn’t high traffic that I would love to bring your pet. I am comfortable adapting my engagement to the needs of your dog and their pace and lifestyle needs.
