Dog Walking

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. Your dog’s exercise plan is specific to them. We will work with you to develop the best walking plan for your dog.

Here is what a Dog Walking Visit Can Include:

20, 30, 45 or 60 minutes of active walking/exercising time with your dog(s)

Ongoing training and behavioral development

Water breaks

Could Your Dog Benefit From A Walk with Auntie Abby’s?:

Does you dog need multiple walks per day but you find it hard to get one or more of them in each day?

Are you physically unable to take your dog for a walk due to physical ability or time constraints?

Does your pet want to walk longer than you do or have time to?

Would you rather be a cuddle companion than a walking buddy?

Could your dog benefit from the mental, social, and physical stimulation a walk provides?

If you said YES to any of the above, let’s get to talking so your dog can get to walking!

*Rates start at $25/20 minute per walk, additional dogs may be added for a small additional fee per session.

Pet Nanny

Pet Nannying

Does your pet have a hard time being alone or need to be under supervision at all times? We offer pet nannying services to alleviate the worry of leaving your pet alone and keep them happy, comfortable and safe while you run errands or to an appointment. We understand that every pet is different and may have additional needs.

Constant supervision and care for your pet while you’re away for your errands or appointments.

Any routine items needed while you’ll be away (feeding, potty break, medication distribution, play, etc.)

*Rates start at $37/hour (minimum of 2 hours to book) to stay with your pet for a short period of time while you’re away. Rate is dependent on a variety of factors and will be discussed with you during your Meet & Greet.

Reasons why our clients use our pet nannying service:

Some pets can experience extreme stress or anxiety when they are left alone, even for a short time. We help ease their fears by keeping them company while you’re away.

A pet might have just had a medical procedure and needs to be looked after while you are away at an appointment, run errands, or attend a function.

You need someone to sit with your pet while a service provider is at your home and keep them calm while you work.

Their pet is more comfortable at home with their familiar surroundings and routine.

What Others Are Saying About Auntie Abby’s

“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!”

Annette Reasoner

“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.”
