Auntie Abby's Professional Pet Sitting

Drop-In Visits

Drop-in visits are perfect for the pet owner that needs their pet let out, fed, and/or played with during the day while they are at work or out of the house for the day or evening. We customize the provided services at each drop-in visit to your pets needs for that particular time of day.

Here is what a Drop-In Visit Can Include:

Here are a few reasons we provide drop-in visits for our current clients:

*Rates start at $27/30 minutes and are determined by the type of pet, number of pets, needs during the visit, and are subject to change at any time with notice.

Dog Walking

We love getting active with your pets, so we enjoy taking your pets on walks through your neighborhood and nearby paths. Your dog will get plenty of exercise during their walk and will likely return ready for a nap. The amount of exercise your dog needs depends on their health, breed, size, and age. We keep this in mind when developing an exercise plan for your dog. We will communicate with you often to keep abreast of changes in your dog’s health and activity level so that we can make sure that we are exercising your dog properly.

If there are certain routes that our walkers should avoid when exercising your dog we will discuss that during our meet and greet.

Our dog walking service can be added on to our drop-in visits with your dog if you are participating in that service as well.

“Auntie Abby’s Professional Pet Sitting Service is incredible. I was so anxious about leaving my boys during my wedding weekend, especially since no one except my family has ever watched them while we were gone. I was so relieved when I met Alana and how thorough, professional, and informational the reporting was on how each visit went. Alana did an amazing job and we would absolutely recommend this business to anyone. Thank you again!”

“I recently had Abby come in daily to check on my two kitties. They’re very shy and hide when strangers arrive. Abby cleaned their litter boxes and refreshed their food and water along with setting out treats. She was able to send pictures of them even though she had to search their favorite hiding places to locate them. I felt completely confident leaving them, knowing they would be well taken care of. I highly recommend her and won’t hesitate to have her take care of my fur babies again.”

Kathy Purcell

“I have used Auntie Abby’s Pet Sitting Service when our GSP was a pup and continue to use their services even though our girl is now 16 months. Abby or one of her staff come in twice a week while I’m volunteering to give her a chance to get outside, stretch her legs, potty, play and give her some extra hugs while I’m not home. If you need to give your dog or cat a break from being home alone I highly recommend Auntie Abby’s Professional Pet Sitting Services. They are a top notch organization.”

Our Insurance is specific to the Pet industry.
