Safety, trust & environment

I like to be given instructions on how the owners usually care for their pets. I don't want to disturb their feeding schedules too much. I also like to know how their pets like to play and what they're personality is like. I'm used to having dogs in my bed, so they will never have to sleep alone.

Abby came and met our dogs in advance and made sure it was going to be a good match. She sent pictures, was very responsive, and took really good care of them. She also kept our house clean! We will have her watch them again.

My critters were well taken care of during my recent 2-week vacation abroad. Abby sent photos and corresponded if she had any questions. She was willing to stop back at the house to feed everyone dinner since I didn't arrive home until mid-evening.

I always know my elderly cat is in good hands with Abby. She does a nice job of taking care of him, and he barely notices that I'm gone. Thanks Abby!

Abby was a fantastic sitter for our elderly cat, Bob, who has some pretty high snuggle needs. She went out of her way to introduce herself in person before our trip, asking thoughtful questions to make sure she understood Bob's routine and personality. While we were away, she was easy to reach and quick to respond to any questions, giving us regular updates that made us feel so at ease. Bob seemed to warm up to Abby quickly, and it was clear he was well cared for while we were gone. Knowing he was in such good hands gave us true peace of mind. We’d absolutely recommend Abby to anyone looking for a caring, communicative, and reliable pet sitter!
