Safety, trust & environment

I prioritize safety by following each pet's normal routine and carefully adhering to all feeding, exercise, and medication instructions. I strive to create a calm, comfortable environment while keeping your home clean, secure, and respected. Regular photo updates and communication ensure you always know how your pet is doing while you're away.

Information Abbey M. would like to know about your pet

To help me provide the best care possible, please share any important information about your pet's routine, personality, medical needs, and behavior ahead of time. I appreciate knowing about medications, feeding schedules, favorite activities, anxieties, triggers, and how your pet responds to new people or situations. The more I know beforehand, the better I can ensure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away.

A typical day

Every pet is different, so I tailor my care to their routine and personality. A typical day includes walks, playtime, enrichment activities, meals, and plenty of one-on-one attention. I enjoy taking dogs on relaxing walks around Hyde Park and Poughkeepsie, while also making time for mental stimulation through toys, puzzles, and games. For senior or anxious pets, I focus on creating a calm environment with lots of patience, comfort, and companionship. Throughout the day, you'll receive photo updates so you can follow along on our adventures.

Abbey is the best! She took great care of our house and two pups while we took an extended ski weekend. Kept us updated and was flexible with some last minute changes we requested. We had a great trip and slept better knowing our pups were in good hands!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
