Experienced Sitter Loves All Pets!
Pet care experience
About Me: Originally from eastern Pennsylvania, I graduated cum laude with a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology from Alvernia University. I moved to Chicago 2 years ago and I am currently studying Conservation Biology through the University of Wisconsin. I have such a passion and enthusiasm for animals. I already love each and every one of your pets, and I would be so happy and grateful if you would allow me to watch them while you work or play! In my free time, I enjoy watching Netflix, reading true crime novels, and baking. I’m home for the summer for an internship at the Lehigh Valley Zoo. My experience: I worked at an animal hospital as a kennel technician and a veterinary technician assistant for about a year. I was also an animal care intern at a zoo and I volunteered at an animal rescue shelter before relocating. I have now been on Rover for over 3 years. I currently work at a dog daycare and boarding facility, as well as a specialty veterinary hospital. I also own a 6-year-old Papillon. I am currently a conversation education intern at the Lehigh Valley Zoo. Why I love dog sitting: I have been a dog lover for as long as I can remember. I owned a Beagle/Labrador mix growing up and I now own a Papillon.
Reviews
Abby is an outstanding dog sitter! ?At our first meeting, we could tell that she loved animals. Finn took to her right away. While we were gone, she answered our texts promptly about how our big goofy pup was doing and sent us pics of him too! We we're concerned because he was a rescue from a dire situation and we just adopted him in March. He is attached to us and we did not know how he would be without us. But Abby knew how to connect with him and how to gain his trust. When we came home he was happy and excited to see us for sure, but there was a sense of calm and contentment about him as well. And we thank Abby for that. She was patient and calm with him and it truly shows! We would recommend Abby to anyone and will be using her in the future for sure! Thanks so much Abby for taking such good care of Our Baby.
We had always used a boarding kennel for vacations, but our dogs would be stressed out messes when we picked them up. After Abby came to stay they were so much more relaxed. Would definitely book her again.
Abby was amazing with Leia, who is only 3 months old and still quite a full time job. Will definitely hire again!
We needed someone to stop by and feed our cat and Abby was able to do so with short notice. She sent adorable photos and gave him snuggles so he was a happy boy when we returned home. We will defintely use Abby again!

Information Abby H. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know about their normal behavior and temperament, if there are any cautions that I need to worry about, their eating schedule and habits, if they are on any medications, any sickness or conditions to keep an eye on, and if they are up to date on their veterinary care. No breed preferences - I love them all!
A typical day
Time I'll spend with your dog: As much time as possible. I am a full-time student, but I will make sure to spend all my free time with your dog. Extra house-sitting services: Just leave me a list and consider it done.
