I absolutely adore Abby. Years ago I found myself couch surfing with my dog Tatum. I had no where to go. At one point I was living out of my car. I looked into several boarding places and finally left one and just cried. It was so dark and I just didn't have a good feeling leaving my baby there. I found Abby's number and explained the situation to her and she asked to meet me and Tatum. She said she would do what she could to help me. This woman completely saved us. I was able to board Tatum for about 2 months while I worked my butt off to get a new home for us. She allowed me to pick him up and spend the day with him and bring him back the same day. Abby was so good for my dog Tatum. He had severe separation anxiety and would scream if I left the house to go to the store. Being in boarding with Abby he learned that the world isn't so scary and he can be loved by many. He learned more social skills and played his heart out with other dogs. Abby always kept me updated and sent me so many photos reassuring me that he was ok. She ended up getting two Pyrenees of her own just like my Tatum. Tatum absolutely adored Abby. She is such a kind gentle soul and you could not find a better place to leave your pet than with her. We love you Abby! read more

See all

Abby is a friendly person that's taken great care of my dog, Chloe. She is great with the dogs, and Chloe just loves her!

I can't say enough good things about Abby's Dog House! I took my 6 month Huskadoodle, Macie, there for a three-day stay while I went out of of town, and she had a blast! Abby clearly loves and cares about each and every dog that she welcomes in. Abby has unbeatable prices, was flexible, and responsive to questions via text and call. She sent me occasional updates to let me know how Macie was doing and even sent a couple pictures! Macie had so much fun that she was bummed for the two days after she came home. She definitely missed all her new friends and the "home away from home" that she found with Abby. I've already recommended Abby to a couple fellow dog owners and will continue to spread the word. Thanks, Abby! read more

Abby's Dog House - Pet Sitting Near Me - Ogden, Utah

We didn't even leave our dog with her. The stench of the place caught our attention first... then the cacophony of barking from the front yard, the back yard, and then as we entered the first room. We then entered the "kennel" room to leave our dog as we completed paperwork. How was it? Concrete floors, about 18 cages, lots of barking dogs. Unbearable smell. Our pup was instantly ready to leave, and we agreed. Sorry, but this is not the spot for "your fur baby to be loved" as far as we could tell. We let her know our dog does not handle kennels well and her response was "well he has no choice here" - so... yeah... he had a choice, and so did we. If you love your fur baby, maybe skip this joint. We booked his care sight unseen, and within 60 seconds of entering this "establishment" we were loading up and leaving with our little man. read more

Abby's boarding facility is a relief from so many others, she genuinely cares about the dogs and really connects with each one! My dog, Esther, usually struggles to eat her food on a normal day but even more so when we need to board her. Abby had Esther eating every meal each day that she was there. When I picked her up, Esther was well behaved and looked just like when I'd dropped her off. Abbys is a great place for boarding or even if your dog just needs a little energy release. read more

I felt like my dogs received wonderful care and they came home happy and healthy! I was kept updated about my dogs via text and pictures during my week away from them. Very reasonably priced. read more

This place is absolutely the best! Abby is the greatest. I take my 2 dog babies to her when going on trips and they love it. My male dog (Jacob) has separation anxiety, but Abby makes him feel safe and secure and treats him like one of her own. She keeps me updated on their stay with texts and pictures and that helps to make me feel comfortable and content knowing they are doing fine. I recommend her services 100%! Abby's Dog House is the only place I will take my dogs. It's now their home away from home! Thank you Abby! You are awesome! read more

Abby is great to work with. She responded quickly to schedule our dog and kept us updated on her status during the entire stay.

My wife and I were nervous to leave our pit bull/boxer mix when we left down for a few days. Our dog is our baby, and it's hard for us to leave him in anyone else's care but our own. We found Abby on Google and called her just to ask some questions and get some information. Abby was so kind and offered to have us bring our dog over for a trial run. From the moment we got there, it was obvious to see how much Abby loved all of the dogs in her care. You could tell how excited our dog was when we dropped him off the next day. Abby sent us pictures and several updates a day! It was reassuring to know our pup was in such great hands having so much fun! Simply put, Abby's Dog House is AMAZING!! We will definitely and confidently be bringing our baby back in the future! read more

Abby is amazing and I recommend if you ever need short or long term boarding you use her (it is worth the drive to Ogden). She took care of our two dogs Kuma and Astro (border coller/retriever and a rott/min-pin mix) for over 5 months - and by take care of, I mean we had to board them with her for this time. I had a job assignment that led to a relocation from Utah to Massachusetts and finally ending up in Arizona. We had anticipated boarding the dogs with Abby 3 months which in itself was amazing that we found her, but when we found out it was closer to six, Abby said no problem! What is amazing about Abby is that this is truly her passion and she cares about the dogs so much vs. a large boarding facility where you do not know who is going to be taking care of your dog. We had an incident where one of our dogs had to go to the vet, and Abby took care of it no problem. I of course was nervous being so far away, but she put me at ease with her care and responsiveness. When it came time to get my dogs and bring them to Arizona, Abby even met me at the airport with the dogs! She is truly amazing! I have used a few other boarding facilities, and no where comes close to Abby and her care. While I am very excited to have my dogs back, I know that they were very happy with Abby too. Thank you Abby! read more

I had a really good experience at Abby's Dog House. Abby is clearly a "dog person" and loves her work. My super-high energy 7 month old puppy (Wagner) seemed to love his time with Abby. He was very tired after his day care session...and he never gets tired. I highly recommend Abby's Dog House. I skied 2 days care-free because I knew Wagner was in great hands. read more

I chose Abby's Dog House out of dozens of potential boarders. I chose her based on reviews and that the facility was crateless which I later found out to be untrue. (False advertising) I scheduled with Abby and she sent me an email asking me to "let her know if I changed my mind. " This was stated with no conditions yet...being the considerate person I am I would never wait to last minute or not show up to a commitment. So I reached out to her as soon as I knew. I was very kind. I found someone to watch them because it made more financial sense to me as I'm sure many can relate to during these challenging times... I was kind and let her know in plenty of advance time also telling her that I would keep her in mind in the future. Her reply took my by surprise. She said and I quote " The problem is when you cancel on me right before a holiday I won't trust you again. " Again I was kind (although shocked) which she then doubled down again with calling me inconsiderate as well as untrustworthy telling me she has a business to run. I know that I was the exact definition of "considerate" informing her as quickly as possible instead of last minute or no-showing. Things come up...things just make more sense for people sometimes. Even a doctor will only ask for 24 hours notice. But instead of thanking me for my kindness and consideration for future business and my quick and thoughtful notification to her she was instead very crass deterring me from ever desiring to use her services in the future. This is a caution to all, do not schedule here unless you can guarantee beyond a shadow of a doubt you will never have to cancel or she will emotionally shred you with zero empathy. I have never left a poor review of anyone. It's not my nature. I'm a kind and compassionate human. But I'm still in shock, and think perhaps others should know what they might be getting into. I also have pics of the emails to confirm this conversation occurred exactly as reported. Buyer beware. Also remember it's not "crateless" as advertised. read more

I LOVE this place!! Abby is so great with my pups and they absolutely love staying there. It's obvious that she truly cares for the dogs. They get to run around and play with other dogs while they are there and have a nice big kennel at night that they can stay in together. She also has the best prices around by far! I highly recommend this place, I won't ever take my dogs anywhere else! read more

This review is a long time in coming! First let me say that Abby is wonderful! She treats everyone's dogs like her own. She is a natural care giver and all the dogs are her favorite! I met Abby through a friend and was in need of a dog sitter when I lived in Ogden over 5 years ago. My husband and I were planning one of our many trips and were dreading having to put our 4 (at the time) dogs, in a regular kennel. I hate the smell and I feel the dogs never get enough attention. I want my babies to get treated like I would treat them. I figured... No such thing existed. Then I was given Abby's phone number. I called her. I felt an instant connection. She invited me and my group of dogs over to get aquatinted. My babies walked into her home as if they had been there before. I felt comfortable and so did they. The following week I dropped off the group and we were on our way. Abby gave us regular reports. (We were gone almost 2 weeks) she took great care of my family. Even Star, my finicky girl who never eats while I'm away, ate while I was gone! I brought my dogs to Abby anytime I had to go out of town. She is priced fairly and my dogs always came home in the same condition I left them. Great job Abby! read more

Abby runs her business with so much love for dogs it is absolutely wonderful. Moving to the area was certainly not without its issues but knowing that my two little beagles were so well cared for at their temporary home was a huge relief and help for us. Abby loves our dogs almost as much as we do. Our dogs had the privilege to stay at her place for an extended time and she made sure that even the little things were tended, such as clipping their toe nails etc. Due to multiple moves, our dogs had to stay in several pet hotels and Abby's Dog House is by far the warmest, most well run place I have ever encountered. read more

I have to blame myself for leaving our dogs once we saw what it was like but I felt we were in a bind. We were going to leave them overnight but just felt too guilty so we left our family gathering early to rescue them. So glad we did when we saw how traumatized they were - all 3 crowded into a cage with little room to move in a small dank cement floor building - not the big inviting room in the pictures. Needless to say, we were all traumatized. But I have to say Abby is a very nice woman. read more
