Highlights
Pet care experience
I come, sit, play, and stay!
Hi I’m Abbey :) I cannot wait to meet your best friend and make them my best friend! I have been watching animals since I was 10. It started off as a few neighbor animals then it turned into overnight, stays in their homes, providing full-time care to their animals and even working in a veterinarian office. When I was obtaining my undergraduate degree in biology at Xavier University, I worked in a veterinarian office for three years I worked with animals in many stages of life from puppies to senior care. I have managed conditions like diabetes, incontinence, managing 5-6 medications, providing fluids and injections. I have experience watching households with 3+ animals. For example, a regular client has 2 80+ lbs dogs, 3 cats, and 15 chickens. I’ve gained a lot of knowledge working in the veterinary field, so I have lots of insights into animal behaviors as well as how that’s to care for them. I am currently working full-time as an occupational therapist in the area! I want to continue to make new furry friends and provide the best care possible. I also love keeping connected with the owners and sending lots of update pictures!

Safety, trust & environment
I strive to provide stellar care for all animals and owners. I preferred to stay with most animals in their own home, as I believe this is where they are most comfortable and familiar with their own territory. I love to meet and speak with the owners beforehand to gain as much information about their animal and what kind of care they specifically need and are expecting. since I have worked in the veterinary field, I have learned to pick up on many behavioral cues from animals and have learned techniques on how to provide calming and stress-free care.
Ratings and reviews
Thank you Abbey for being super reliable, communicative, and capable of caring for an elderly kitty who needs daily medications and sub Q fluids twice a week! We are so grateful for you!
Abbey was great with my dog Ranger!!
Abbey was great watching our cats! Will definitely be booking with her again (:
Abbey did a great job watching our 3 cats over Memorial Dsy weekend! I especially appreciate that she was willing to deal with our senior cats’ “out of the box” behavior. Thanks Abbey!
Abbey was great with communication and was able to successfully give our cat, who is less than cooperative, her oral meds. We would definitely book again!
Abbey was great! Reliable, communicative and took great care of my cat Figgy while I was away. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a responsible care taker... Thanks, Abbey!
