Hi there! I'm Abbie, an active individual who loves being around animals and spending time outdoors. I have offered pet sitting services to friends and family since I was a child, and have over 12 years of true experience caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, and sizes. My own pets over the years have included dogs, birds, rats, and more. In my spare time, I enjoy hiking, camping, reading, gardening, dog sports and training, and fostering dogs for local rescues. I recognize that every dog has different wants and needs, and I am happy to tailor my pet-sitting approach to what works best for your dog. I can offer your pup walks, endless games of fetch, assistance with basic training, enrichment activities and games for mental stimulation, medication administration when needed, and basic care (baths, brushing, tooth brushing, nail trims) once we establish a positive relationship. I also promise to take stellar photographs of your dogs! I am dependable, trustworthy, and hardworking in everything I do. Contact me to learn more about my services and how I can help you. I truly can't wait to meet your pup(s)! “Because of course it was only a dog. It’s so hard to explain that it’s more than an animal when you’re that animal’s human. Perhaps it takes more empathy than most people are capable of. Or more imagination.” - Fredrik Backman, The Winners (2021)
