Pet care experience
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 going back to school full-time for a doctorate degree. 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!
Reviews
Abbey Road as wonderful with our dog. I could not ask for a better dog sitter. We will be happy to have her sit again!
Abbey is wonderful!
Abbey was the best pet sitter I have ever had, she went above and beyond and we are so grateful to have found someone we will want to hire each time we are out of town! Her communication and care is excellent.
Abbey did a wonderful job at her first drop-in visit with our pup! Will definitely book with her again!

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.
Information Abbey S. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your animals have any special needs! I am happy to accommodate and have lots of veterinary experience doing so :) I am happy to discuss with you beforehand.
A typical day
I am moving to the Grand Rapids area after living in Plymouth and Cincinnati. I love to get out and explore hiking trails and new areas. I would love to take furry companions with me. I also love creating activities that stimulate the animals like snuffle mats!

Availability
Since I am going back to school full-time, I will have classes Monday 1-5pm, Tuesday 8am-5pm, and Thursday 9am-12pm. I will not be working full-time so I will have a lot of available time to spend with animals and give frequent potty breaks and snuggles.
