Highlights
Pet care experience
Loving pet care in Lakeview! 💗
Hi! My name is Abbie and I’ve been working with and caring for animals for most of my life! Dogs, cats, horses, you name it and I’ve probably done it! I have worked as a professional dog trainer, kennel staff at a doggie daycare facility, grooming assistant, service dog trainer, and have been on the leadership team for multiple animal rescues. I’ve been fostering since college and have welcomed almost 10 animals in my home since then 💗 Right now I have a pet free household as my dog of 12 years (Tori, the German shepherd in my gallery) passed away last fall 💔 I wanted to start on Rover to get some puppy/kitty time in and help pet owners have a trusted and responsible pet sitter they can turn to!

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I am very serious about pet safety and responsible pet care. I live in a pet friendly apartment building right by the lake so I can safely take your dog on lakefront walks in lieu of having a yard 💗
Ratings and reviews
I highly recommend Abbie as your dog sitter! She has been around dogs her entire life and has a natural ability to connect with them. She is incredibly kind, patient, and genuinely loves animals, which shows in the way she cares for every dog she meets. In addition to being reliable and trustworthy, she is also very knowledgeable about dog behavior and training. She has experience working with dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities, and knows how to reinforce good habits while keeping dogs happy, safe, and comfortable. Any pet owner would be lucky to have her care for their dog. She is responsible, communicative, and treats every dog as if it were her own. I would trust her completely with my pets and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring dog sitter.
Abbie is seriously one of the biggest animal lovers I know and I would trust her with any pet. She’s super responsible, reliable, and genuinely cares about making sure animals are happy, comfortable, and well taken care of. She actually enjoys spending time with pets and giving them attention. She’s notices the little things, follows instructions carefully, and treats every animal like it’s her own. I can’t recommend Abbie enough, any pet would be lucky to have her looking after them!
Abbie was wonderful! She was always punctual, and Lucy absolutely loved her walks. Lucy has a lot of energy, and Abbie did a great job making sure she got plenty of exercise. Lucy always came back happy and tired. I’ll definitely be booking again!
I cannot recommend Abbie enough as a pet sitter! She is reliable, trustworthy, and genuinely cares about every animal she works with. My kitty and dog are always excited to see her and come home happy, well-exercised, and cared for. She has great dog handling skills! She communicates clearly, provides updates, and gives me peace of mind whenever I’m away. It’s obvious that she treats every pet as if they were her own.
Abbie is one of the most caring and knowledgeable animal lovers I know. She has experience helping train service animals, which has given her a deep understanding of animal behavior, patience, and positive reinforcement techniques. Beyond her training experience, she genuinely loves every pet she meets and always takes the time to understand their individual needs and personalities. Abbie is thoughtful, attentive, and incredibly patient with animals of all kinds. Whether it's providing daily care, reinforcing good habits, or simply making a pet feel safe and loved, she consistently goes above and beyond. I would trust her completely with my own pets and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible, compassionate, and experienced pet caregiver.
Abbie shows through her actions that shes a passionate dog lover. With her experience as a dog trainer, her immense support of local foster shelters, and natural love for animals, she can be trusted to treat any furry friend like a prince/princess. She kept me updated with photos throughout the day, and my dog was always relaxed and happy in her care. I never once worried leaving him with her. She's reliable, attentive, and genuinely loves what she does.
