Experienced Animal Care
Pet care experience
My name is Abby, and I work with animals of all sizes and shapes. I started dog-walking and house-sitting professionally in 2015 in Baltimore, where I cared for dogs and cats with a wide range of needs. Now, I live and work in Mechanicsville. I have been certified as a veterinary assistant, capable of handling and caring for animals in good health or with special conditions. I also have five years of zoo-keeping experience working with exotic animals, so I am happy to offer care for birds, reptiles, and small mammals as well. You can count on me for dependability and integrity. I will treat your animals with love and respect, and I am excellent at following directions. I look forward to meeting you and your animal companions!
Reviews
Abby was amazing. Our furry babies loved her, and her care for them was beyond anything we could have expected.
Abby is amazing! She takes great care of our babies. It’s nice to leave them with someone we trust.
Abby did a great job caring for our pets! We got lots of updates and pictures during her stay.
Abby was wonderful! She took fantastic care of our pups while we were gone. She had no problem catering to our geriatric Tre or our high strung Annie. Would definitely book again!

Safety, trust & environment
I come to you. For clients living in Mechanicsville, I care for your animals in the comfort of their own familiar surroundings. If there are any simple tasks I can assist with while I am there (such as bringing in a package, or making sure the lights are off), please don't hesitate to ask.
Information Abby A. would like to know about your pet
What quirks does your dog have that I might need to know? For example, are they deathly afraid of running water? Are they aggressive towards men in collared shirts? Do they have a habit of chewing unattended shoes? The more I know about your pet, the more prepared I am to make sure my stay is safe and comfortable for everyone.
A typical day
For walks, I'm happy to take a simple stroll through the neighborhood, or an energetic romp on a hiking trail. If time allows, I love taking adventurous pups to Pole Green Park or Cold Harbor Battlefield Park. If I come for a dog walk, and your dog has any additional needs (such as medication, food, treats, or playtime), please let me know and I will make it happen!

Availability
I'm a professional writer and illustrator, but it's rough sitting at a desk all day. Working through Rover helps break up my day, and gives my poor eyes a break from the screen. Since my day job is completely remote, I'm available for lengthier drop-in visits, where I can bring my laptop and keep your animals company while I work. Just ask me about that when you request a booking, if you have a pet that needs some extra company while you're away.
