I am a graduate student at St. Thomas with a part-time tutoring job during the school year, so I have plenty of gaps in my schedule to care for your pet. This means that I can spend time during the day, night, and weekend with your pet, including returning home for potty or play breaks in between tutoring or classes, depending on the needs of your pet. I am also available to stay overnight with your pet, so long as they don't mind helping me with my homework!

Safety, trust & environment

I am vigilant and aware while pet sitting, making sure I know where your pet is and never leaving any doors, gates, or windows open. For example, my friend lives in an apartment and has two kittens who like to escape into the hallway, so I also create a barrier when I open his front door to ensure they stay inside. His windows also don't have screens, so I make sure they are always shut and locked up tight. I love interacting with and talking with animals when they are around, so even if I am busy working on my own projects, I'll take frequent breaks to catch up with your pets and give them attention.

Information Abbey S. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any special needs, preferences, dietary restrictions, or medication needs! I can accommodate most needs as long as I have clear instructions.

A typical day

I'm an expert at fetch, frisbee, tug of war, and entertaining cats so they don't eat wires or houseplants. I also love pet snuggles and am always down for an afternoon nap.

Your pet's new best friend

Pet care experience

When my friends go on vacation, I am the first person they call to petsit! Animals warm up to my calm demeaner quickly, and I've been told by pet owners that their shy animals have never been so friendly to a new person so fast before. I have experience caring for cats & kittens, dogs, and birds. I am very patient and gentle with animals, seeking to understand their physical and vocal cues to know what they need. I am also an expert at playing fetch and tug of war with dogs, and my expertise with cat feather wands means the cat usually gets tired before I do. I love walking, so it's a bonus if your pup wants to come with!

Abbey has watched my two kittens on a couple of occasions and she has been GREAT! She clearly has a deep love for and knowledge of animals. I would highly recommend Abbey (and so would my kitties)!

Abbey is so good with animals! She is my go-to when I need someone to check in on my cat, Marceline 🐈‍⬛️ She's prompt and caring, ready to play and give pets her full attention. She communicates well and is very dependable, which makes pet check-ins a breeze. Definitely recommend.
