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!

Information Abbey R. would like to know about your pet

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!

A typical day

I live in New London, just about 5 minutes from a clean, spacious dog park! We’ll go on hikes, walks, and of course take naps! Please let me know if your dog prefers to be at the park alone :)

Pet care experience

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!

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.

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.
