Loves and Hugs for your Pup

Pet care experience

Would you like your pup to have as much fun as you are on vacation? Well, now they can! With me, your pup will be lavished with love and cuddles so that they can have a blast! I am a dog trainer in behaviorist in school with over 5 years of dog sitting experience, and a lifetime of experience with my own cats and dogs. I understand how separation anxiety can affect an animal, and I make the necessary adjustments so that their stay with me is as comfortable as possible. Why I love dog sitting I have been a animal lover as long as I can remember. Growing up I wanted to be a vet, and while I didn't end up getting to pursue my goal, working with Rover was the next best thing! My first pup was a German Shepard, and a Schnauzer. Meet my pets I own two cats, Sophie and Emma and a dog named Oliver the Mini Schnauzer! About my yard I live near quiet waters woof marina, where your dogs can have a great time releasing their energy. My experience administering medication I have administered oral medication before, either straight in their mouth, or hiding it in their food. Additional Services Should your pup need it, I also offer a complementary bath (no trimming or haircuts..yet!) If they aren't sensitive to any ingredients, I also have a load of treats available as well. I strive to make your pup have a great time so you don't have to worry. I'm always sending photos so you can see how much fun their having! And who knows, they may or may not learn a trick or two by staying with me! Looking forward to meeting your pup!

Abby took care of my three dogs, and I really enjoyed her care. My dogs are extremely spoiled, BUT sitting in furniture is a no go. I was worried that she would let them on there, but she maintained my family rules which I appreciated greatly. My dogs are rather finicky when it comes to food, so she would wake up early in the morning to make sure they were fed. I recommend her services to everyone, you won’t be disappointed.

I was one of Abby’s first clients and when I say she was SO great with my pugs Dolby and Asher!! She would send me bunches of photos- I normally have to ask other sitters, but she did it out of her own initiative. She also taught Dolby to spin, so cute!!! I highly recommend her services, you will NOT be disappointed.

Abby is one of the nicest people I’ve had the pleasure in meeting. She’s taken care of all 4 of my dogs at one time and she did an amazing job. They all loved her and her homemade treats.

We just picked up our dog from her and her seems in good spirits and condition. Abi was good and she followed up with Rover when there was a technical issue not allowing to send pictures. Our dough seems to have liked her as well and her helpers. Will use her again.

Information Abigail R. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know if they are okay with cats, as I do have cats of my own, so this is very vital information to me. I'd also love to know their personality and any habits they might have such as biting, barking, separation anxiety, etc. I have a Mini Schnauzer of my own who is incredibly friendly so I would need to know if your pup is good with other dogs.

A typical day

Here's where we'll take our walks Some dogs require two hours of exercise, some need 30 minutes, it all depends on the breed, so you can rest assured knowing that I'll always adjust my time to meet their needs. My husband and I are very active people, so if you have a more energetic breed, we actually take them on jogs, and sprints, to make sure that they are being exercised efficiently. We also live close to the Woofing Waters Dog Park in deerfield beach, so if your dog is fully vaccinated (this is the park's policy) they can have a blast there. Your dog's sleeping arrangement Whatever you'd like! If you let them on the bed, we can do that. If you don't, we recommend you bring their doggy bed so they can be as comfy as possible. I also offer complimentary crate training should you have a puppy that needs that. Time I'll spend with your dog On my available days, your dog will be with me the entire time! Bonus, if your dog is small, I actually end up taking them with me while I run errands nor go shopping- only with your permission of course. One of the worst things dog sitters can do is let your pup do anything they want. If your dog isn't allowed to be on furniture, I will apply that change when they're with me. If they get fed at a specific time, i'll follow that as well. Once a dog is taught different habits, when getting back home, it can be really difficult to retrain them. I do everything I can to make sure that your dog has great time, without compromising his great manners :)
