Pet care experience

Hello pet parents! My name is Abigail and I have a huge passion for dogs and cats, so much I work with them full time! Please take your time to read my profile thoroughly as I have a very large radius set for my client base. I have a dachshund named Yoshi back at home with my parents and currently own a Tabby cat named Saturn. I grew up around dogs my whole life including in my own home, my grandparents(which I had lived close to and was there a lot) and my friends having dogs and lots of other animals that we would play with and feed/take care of all the time. I have worked in multiple facilities dealing with the care for animals, from birds and rodents to dogs and cats. I will take care of your pet(s) as if they were my own! I will be gentle, loving, and kind to them. I also have a lot of patience to deal with the young and older dogs that require a lot of attention. Each day I am gaining more knowledge and dog experience working with my current and new furry friends. I am able to care for your pet(s) so please consider me a good candidate! :)

Abby was great with our Zeke, who can be picky sometimes. She is professional and caring for our Zeke. I know he is in good hands when Abby walks him

Abby stayed in our house for a week to take care of our 2 dogs and 2 cats. We are very happy with the care she provided! She was great in keeping us informed on how things were going and she sent us photos every day. Our pets were very happy and healthy when we got home. She managed all the details with the house with no problems, plus the house was clean and tidy when we got home. We will definitely use Abby again.

We would definitely use Abby again! We needed a cat sitter last minute and she was very responsive and flexible. She also sent a ton of photos and detailed updates about her visits.

Safety, trust & environment

When I stay in anyone’s home keeping their pet(s), key(s), and home safe are my main priorities. Pets are never left unattended outside, the keys are always attached to my keys or kept safety in my pocket/bag when out or hung up when inside, and doors are always locked after entering or leaving your home. Any specific or additional instructions told and left for me I can follow as well. I also have worked in plenty of kitchens throughout the years and understand the importance of keeping safe habits while cooking. I currently do not offer boarding services, however when I do offer them here are my rules! -I have automatic filter water fountains that I clean before and after each pet arrives for a stay with me. Your pet will never run out of water here and will also be encouraged to drink by soothing water sounds. -Pets are allowed on my furniture as it does not bother me, but if you do not like your pet on your furniture I will keep the same rules you have as to not start any bad habits. This also goes for any commands or rules you have I want to keep the same for them. Please share anything you’d like that you might think will help! -My house is always clean, I do not keep anything that would be dangerous around your pets. All cleaning supplies is put away in cabinets, all items that are chewable are kept off floor, and of course I have a few dogs toys as well so they’ll never be bored here!

Information Abby F. would like to know about your pet

If they have any allergies, special diets, medication AND medical conditions, and/or aggression issues all should be written down or added into your rover profile so I have clear understanding of your pet. Any food or toys that the dog(s) like and dislike as well. If your pets have any triggers such as bikes, cars, construction, storms, other animals etc. The habits they have and what the dogs specifically enjoys. Things the dog is used to, or if they have any special quirks you believe I should be informed of.

A typical day

Playing with toys inside and outside depending on yard situation, as well as just a good rub down or simple walk around the block. We go out for regular potty breaks as well. Depending on my schedule for the week I don't usually leave pets for more than 4-5 hours. I tend to get up around 7-9am daily so your pet will have plenty of fresh air and sunshine each morning. I do know how to keep the activities calm if your dog is older or maybe is just not feeling well too. *Note: if you have any specific rules about how much walking your dog needs I will adjust accordingly.

Availability

Regular potty breaks and making sure your pet is safe is my first priority while they are in my care. I currently have a flexible schedule and can fit dogs and cats in wherever there is room! I have my max limits on my profile, so it depends on the day but usually I'm walking or hanging out with someone else's dog, my cat and/or my boyfriends pets. If you are looking for how long, it will be between 3-5 hours per outside potty break when staying in someone’s home overnight.
