The best care for your best friend

Pet care experience

Hello, my name is Abby. I am a business student studying at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. I've been around animals my entire life and am a very experienced house sitter. Growing up living next to a farm, I cared for the animals while my neighbors were traveling and or at work. Later I started house sitting for family friends, customers and coworkers. I have many families I regularly house sit for. I am versed in caring for dogs, cats, birds (as well as chickens, ducks, geese), guinea pigs. I have patience and am a compassionate owner myself. I've had a dog since I was 8 years old, and took care of her while growing up. I frequently took her for short walks, massaged her hips, and would cook her specialty meals. I gave her, her medicine and extra love and attention until she passed in 2016. The following year, I was graced with the opportunity to adopt a puppy in need. I was adamant about puppy training for our new family pup. My dog stays at my family's home, so he will not be attending my care requests. I am comfortable with dogs of all ages older or younger. My schedule fluctuates because of school, however I live in Fairbanks year-round, and I am usually available.

This was our first experience with Rover, and Abby was an excellent choice! She came over to meet our dogs ahead of time, and stayed in contact prior to, and the day of her visit. Photos and updates were very much appreciated!

Abby takes great care of our dog. I don’t worry about him at all when she takes care of him.

Thank you Abby for taking care of Newt and Lue for me! Abby sent me pictures of my dog and cat while I was away. She let me know how they were doing. Thankful to have found such a nice person to watch my babies! Would definitely recommend Abby!

I communicate and coordinate with the owner about the needs for their pet. I make sure that leashed dogs stay on their run or on a leash to avoid any running away. I use the tools provided by owners and follow the rules for what the pet needs and is accustomed to.

Always down for the dog park if your pup plays well with others. If not I enjoy playing fetch walks or lazy days, based on whichever level of activity your companion prefers.
