About: I grew up with a dog and have always loved pets and animals of all kinds! When I used to stay with my sister, I would watch her two dogs and take them on walks regularly.

I love both dogs and cats and would be happy to help with either. Detailed instructions and clear communication for care is appreciated.

“Will absolutely be choosing Abby again. He experience with collies made me a lot more comfortable leaving my two fur babies home alone with her to check in on. As an anxious pet-owner she made it easier and her communication made me feel so much at ease.”
“I was absolutely adored the brief yet thorough notes Anthony would post on the Rover cards for my two fur babies after each drop-in; as an anxious pet-owner it really kept me at ease and it was nice reading the little adventures they would get up to. I was quite pleasantly shocked as no one had done this before. He even kept the house tidy if there were any accidents or naughty chewed areas. As well as took the initiative to put on some doggie music so they didn’t feel so alone. He was pleasant and professional, yet empathetic and personal all at the same time which I greatly appreciated. Will definitely be using Anthony again in the future and I recommend you do, too!”
