Once I get to know the animal and their owner, I make sure I have all the information needed to make all parties happy and comfortable!

Information Abby H. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know how your dog reacts on a leash regarding leash walking behaviour and reactiveness towards other dogs so I can plan! No behaviour will be an issue for me. I also need your pets veterinary information, list of known allergies and emergency contact phone numbers.

A typical day

I love taking pictures of animals. I will be sure to make sure I snap a few high quality pictures of your pet while we are together.

Pet care experience

Hi! I’m Abby, thank you for stopping by my profile! 🐾 I’ve been caring for animals for over 14 years, including owning multiple dogs at once, and I have professional experience working as a pet care specialist, and animal caretaker for a few pet daycares. I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all sizes and ages, including seniors, strays, and rescues, as well as fish, birds, amphibians, rodents, and reptiles. Since starting Rover part-time in 2023, I have been trusted to care for 80+ animals. I’m Pet First Aid Certified (Levels 1 & 2) through the Ottawa Humane Society, a course I took specifically to be prepared to care for other people’s pets. I have experience administering oral medications, puffers, and insulin. Before starting Rover, I volunteered at an animal rescue in Uganda for 7 months, where I helped nurse newborn kittens and puppies, did basic wound care, and worked on socializing stray dogs and cats. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of caring for so many different animals, and I know that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. Whether your pet is energetic, nervous, elderly, shy, or just loves a little extra attention, I’m happy to meet them where they are at and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Fun fact: I’ve even assisted with both cat AND dog births! 🐱🐶 Your pets are family, and I’ll treat them like they are my own ❤️ Use code ABBYH37109 for $20 off your first Rover booking!

Abby took such wonderful care of my cat(Sophie) while I was away! She was incredibly patient, caring, and warm with her, which gave me such peace of mind during my trip. I would definitely recommend Abby to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. I’ll absolutely be booking with her again the next time I’m away! ❤️

Les visites d'Abby lors de mon absence à la maison sont très rassurantes. J'ai confiance en elle et qu'elle prend bien soin de ma chatte.
