Safety, trust & environment
While I am unable to offer my own home for pet sitting, I can guarantee that I will care for your pet(s) in their home environment as well as I would my own. If you have a dog, one of my first questions I ask when pet-sitting is… “how long is your dog accustomed to waiting in between potty breaks?” I ask because each pet has different needs and I never want to make a dog wait longer than they typically would. I also want to keep to their normal schedule as much as possible, if they’re used to daily walks at certain times or being feed at very particular times then I will make notes to care for them the same way you do. The goal truly is for the dog or cat to receive the same attention and care that they have when their favorite people are home :)

Pet care experience
Hello! My name is Abby and I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, and plants since 2015. Pet-sitting truly is my joy!! I have experience checking in on pets during the day time, cleaning litter boxes, taking dogs of all shapes and sizes on walks, and overnight house sitting for up to 2 weeks at a time. Thanks to my daytime job as a Youth Pastor my schedule is more flexible than most. I pride myself on customizing each pet sitting experience to the pet and their owner(s). The beauty of pet sitting over boarding is that this experience can be tailored to what YOUR special needs are! Like I said my experience is considerable, I am also self taught for basic pet training. For instance, if your dog has a history of on-leash walking issues, while I’m with them I’d be happy to plant seeds for good behavior on future walks. Just say the word and I’ll do everything I can to make it happen! Historically I’ve acquired jobs mainly from word of mouth. While I may be newer to a platform like Rover, know that I am a well-seasoned pet sitter who has experience with a variety of households, breeds, ages, and situations. I pride myself on my vast skill set when it comes to pet sitting so if you have any questions please don’t hesitate to ask. I’m at your service!

Reviews
Abby is our most faithful caregiver to our puppies and our home. She is always the first one I call when we are going to be out of town. I highly recommend your pets to her care! You will love her!
We’ve known Abby as a friend of our family for years, and she is totally trustworthy, reliable, dependable, caring, sweet and fun-loving. She is also a true dog lover, having grown up with family dogs both large and small. We have used her several times as a dog sitter for our Weimaraner and pocket beagle. Highly recommend her.
Abby is my go-to pet sitter! She has taken care of both my dog and cat multiple times and they love her. She is great at communicating and I fully trust her with my animals. She is dog and cat approved!
Abby stays with our Yorkie whenever we are away. She stays overnight so Charlie’s routine can be maintained, as well as pick up the mail and packages or water plants as needed. She loves on him and plays with him. When she comes to let him out during the day, she spends extra time walking him and playing with him. She is dependable and comes when she is supposed to and often sends me a photo of the two of them watching tv together in the evening with him in her lap. She does well with large dogs as well. We used to have a German Shepherd and she did all the same with her as well.
