Cornell Vet Student Dog Lover!
Pet care experience
Hello! My name is Abby and I am a second year veterinary student at Cornell. I have a bachelors degree in Animal Sciences from The Ohio State University. I am a highly responsible, highly competent, and experienced animal lover. I have 6 years of paid work in veterinary clinics, plus two internships (and research) in the field. I have training in dog training, behavior, and socialization. I also have extensive experience handling difficult dogs, administering medications, and communicating with clients like you in a cooperative and productive manner! I am sensitive and experienced with fearful, hyperactive, and anxious dogs. I have been extensively trained in my job as a veterinary assistant and at Cornell. I can work with dogs post-surgery and can recognize when your dog is not feeling well. If you also have cats, you are in luck! I am a cat lover and can sit and care for them as well! I also care for exotic pets and certain farm animals.
Reviews
For the second year, Abby took care of all of our pets while we were on vacation. This included 4 dogs, 4 cats (including a diabetic cat that needed twice daily insulin injections), 2 guinea pigs and a bunny. Abby always takes great care of everyone and takes care of our home while we are away. Our pets all adore Abby and are always so excited to see her. We trust her completely with our pets and home. Abby feels more like family to us than just a pet sitter. She has our highest recommendation to anyone looking for a sitter for their pets.
Great with our dogs and very reliable!
Abby was absolutely wonderful! She took care of our house full of animals for a week, which included 4 dogs, 6 cats (including two diabetic cats that needed insulin injections twice a day), guinea pigs, hamsters, a bunny and a lizard. Each animal was well cared for and well loved while we were away. I received texts and photos multiple times each day keeping me updated on how everyone was doing. I was completely confident while we were away that all of our pets were in great hands. I came home to happy pets and a house that was cleaner than I left it. I could not ask for a better pet sitter than Abby. This was my first time using Rover so was not sure what to expect, but I could not be happier. I will definitely be using Abby every time we travel!
Abby is wonderful. I’m a veterinarian and I felt very comfortable with her walking my two dogs. She took excellent care of them and was very professional and polite. I couldn’t recommend her more.

Information Abby H. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know the age, breed, and any medical conditions to be aware of. I have worked with dogs post-surgery, with back issues, hip displasia, and more. If your dog has any allergies, or knows any commands, I would like to know that too!
A typical day
Walks in your neighborhood, or playing at home. I am a very active person, and would love to wear your dog out during my daily workouts. If you have a less active pup, I am all about snuggling up and reading a good book with your furry family member.
