Pet care experience

Lover of all animals!

Hi All!! I have personal and professional pet care experience! Not only have I had the pleasure of owning a variety of my own animals (dogs, cats and small animals such as chinchillas) I also have spent many hours volunteering at the humane society preforming all different types of animal care for whatever was assigned to me! I love learning and expanding my knowledge of animals regarding different behavior types based on breeds and I think working with Rover will provide me a fun experience and help me do that! My availability is semi-flexible depending on the location of your home, as I do work Mon-Friday at Backus Hospital. In my own personal free time, I enjoy staying active and traveling with my friends, but I also enjoy staying in with a glass of wine and a good book!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I have one chunky orange cat named Murphy! He roams the house freely but is mostly found on the back of the couch! I have a lot of experience with free roaming pets, crated dogs, and other small caged animals and have the space to house them!

Abbey was great with our dog while my wife and I were on our honeymoon. She is so nice and is a true animal lover!!!! We knew that our dog was in great hands with her. We liked her so much that we inquired about her walking our dog regularly! Highly recommend her!

I would absolutely recommend Abbey as a dog/cat/house sitter. She took care of my sweet dog and my house for me when I was on vacation. My baby is a bit of an odd duck, and she took such wonderful care of him. His favorite thing in the world is car rides, and Abbey took him with her on every errand. No hesitation at all in recommending Abbey! Your pets will be loved and well taken care of in her hands.

Abbey is fantastic with our dog Storm! You can tell she loves animals! Storm get’s super excited to see her and spend time with her!

Abbey has been house sitting for my dog and cat off and on over the last year and I wouldn’t trade her for anyone else on this app! I can tell my pets were loved and cared for when we return and my home is always how I left it. She always sends me updated photos through out vacations!! This is such a sweet personal touch! I would recommend her 100 times over to anyone. Thanks for always taking the best care of my four legged kids while we’re gone 🧡

I have 1 dog and 2 cats that abbey has cared for when I’ve been out of town or visit during the day! She goes above and beyond each time she visits them! She is dependable and trustworthy and loves my animals like they’re her own! 😊

Please let me know if your pet requires any medications, dietary needs, or any of specific request so I can do my best and accommodate each individual pet to the best of my ability!
