Highlights
Pet care experience
Doggy and Kittie nanny for hire!
I have owned and have been trusted to take care of pets for neighbors, friends, and family since I was a teenager. Animals love me and I adore them. I no longer have any pets, and I'm retired right now which means I'm home almost all the time. I have the time to care, play, walk, feed, or administer any required medication. I have had high energy dogs who require several long walks, on the many beautiful trails near me. I live in a quiet 450 square foot apartment with a lovely small backyard garden for dogs to meander awhile. My home in my quiet Alameda neighborhood is perfect for senior dogs to relax in. I'm familiar with a variety of medical issues to administering syrup orally, pills crushed in a treat or shots at the nape of the neck for diabetic pets. I have a lot of experience with animals with medical issues . Let's meet and see if it's a good fit.

Ratings and reviews
I couldn’t be happier with the care Abigail gave Ragnar! 🐾❤️ She took such great care of him, took him on multiple walks every day, and sent me plenty of updates and photos throughout the day. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was happy, comfortable, and being so well taken care of the entire time. I felt completely at ease while I was away and knew Ragnar was in great hands. She was attentive, caring, and truly treated him like her own. I will absolutely be using her again as my new go-to sitter for my baby, Ragnar! 🥰🐶 Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and loving to care for their fur baby!
Abigail clearly had a lot of love for dogs and was really willing to follow the guidelines I gave her for caring for my puppy. She sent lots of pictures of her and was very communicative!
Abigail was lovely and so helpful! Angel loved staying with her. Will definitely book again if she’ll have me.
I am so grateful that Abigail took care of my needy senior Chihuahua while I was traveling. Abigail sent me many wonderful pictures of my dog so I didn’t have to worry. I highly recommend Abigail who will give your dog amazing 1:1 care!
Abby is a communicator and keeps you up to date. Not super happy with my dog being in a grass filled with foxtails, but Abby was receptive to the feedback and has a kind demeanor.
Aby is fantastic! She took very good care of my dog, Nemo, while I was on vacation and sent plenty of updates throughout the stay. Nemo really enjoyed his time there and looked very happy. I look forward to many future stays with Aby!

Schedule
Pet care fits for me because I am retired, and I have a lot of time to give. I have a lot of love to give, focused time, energy, all the fun and adventures of having a pet(s), without the long term responsibilitys of vet appointments etc. It's like being a grandma, all the fun, little responsibility. I live in Alameda in a quiet building on a quiet street. Puppies have loved my yard, and senior dogs have loved my quiet home. My apartment is only about 450 square feet, big enough for the smaller pets.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced yard, a lot of beautiful paths to walk in Alameda CA. If a pet needs more than the 450 sq. ft. than my apartment will be too small, but willing to go to ur home. I'm willing to be in the pets space.
A typical day
Walking various paths so each time we walk there is a lot of variety. Usually I do not go to dog parks, but there are 2 near me, but usually I walk on any of the various paths around here. Dog parks can at times be a lot of sensory overload especially if going with a caretaker as opposed to a family member.
