Abby's Dog Destination

Pet care experience

Hello! Thanks for taking a few seconds to get to know me! My name is Abby, I'm 26 years old and I live in a cozy apartment with my roommate Jen in Spartanburg, SC. I've been a primary care owner of two dogs for over 15 years. I have watched friends and neighbors dogs all my life, and I LOVE getting to meet new animals. My apartment is a two bedroom, but dogs will not be allowed in y roommates room. It has both laminate floors and carpeting. There is plenty of room for movement including a fenced in balcony and an outdoor doggy area. My day is unusual because I work in television. I work from 2:30pm to 11:15pm. My hours allow me to go home for a short break, so your puppy's won't have to go more than 6 hours without a potty break. I get up around 9 and go for a 30 minute walk. I am home all morning then, and have plenty of time for playing and interacting. I offer fantastic service for pets with anxiety or medical needs. I'm a loving dog sitter and treat any pet like its my own!

Abby was AMAZING!! My little guy had day care with her twice (each for 5 days) while I was at my intensive at Liberty and couldn't watch him during the day. He would get excited everyday we drove to drop him off. He really loved his time there and she took incredible care of our fur baby. Would HIGHLY recommend!

Abby is amazing! She doted on my two older gals giving them all of the love and attention they wanted! I highly recommend letting Abby take care of your fur babies!

Abby was awesome! My reservation was last minute and I was driving 200 miles to Lynchburg and she took great care of my Juno. Also, in 10 years I had never ever left my dog with someone I did not know, and Abby was welcoming and friendly...in short,if you have a 'special' dog and you need someone to really CARE for (and about your) dog, Abby is the one. Best Dog Whisperer in Central Virginia!

We have often used a local vet to board our dogs, but this always seemed to give them a lot of anxiety. So, we wanted a good alternative. Well, we found a GREAT alternative! Abby was just fantastic. Abby sent us pics every day and I could tell they were loving life! When we picked them up they were in great spirits and looked completely HAPPY! We would recommend Abby anytime!

Information Abby L. would like to know about your pet

I would love to know about your dogs personality and any weird habits or preferences your pup might have. Are they neutered/spayed? Do they get along with other dogs? How about his/her energy levels? And this is a weird one, but what time do they usually poop? (I can tell a dogs anxiety by his or her bathroom habits. It helps me to try and make them more comfortable, especially when they first arrive.)

A typical day

I take all dogs on at least two 15 minute walks a day, unless I am told not to. I love snuggles and playing ball!! We sometimes go on car rides, and I will go to the dog park if the pup I'm watching is good with other dogs. We will also take TONS of pictures!!!
