Always in need of some pup love!

Pet care experience

hi there! I have been living in a house with dogs since I was a baby, so I have always helped with taking care of them. Feeding, playing, comforting when they're sick/scared, cleaning up messes, minimal training, etc. Aside from my at home experiences, I've been sitting since my early teens, lived with a roommate and her pup in college, and I've been on Rover since 2017. I've taken care of pups who've needed some extra help as well. From fostering 8 week old puppies, taking care of blind and deaf little guys, sick pups and one who was in heat. No matter the work involved, having a furry friend around makes life much more enjoyable!

Abby did a fantastic job watching my 90-lb. German shepherd Justin. He had a great time at her house, which is right near a park and in a very walkable neighborhood. Abby was very communicative and sent updates and photos at a consistent pace. I'm excited to bring Justin over for more visits in the future!

Information Abby L. would like to know about your pet

If I need to avoid other people or dogs on walks; I have a LOT of house plants so it's good to know if that might be an issue (I've only had one dog get into them but ever since then, it's something I always make sure to ask; any special medication or care needs; bathroom frequency; what commands you use (everyone's a little different so I wouldn't want to confuse your dog); if they're okay being left alone while I'm at work for the morning.

A typical day

I have experience with dogs of all kinds of energies, so it depends on what your dog needs! There is a huge park one block away, perfect for playing fetch and running around with other dogs, but if your dog doesn't get along with others, there is enough space for us to play alone. We can also play inside or just hang out and relax together. There are also many great places to walk around and explore, and I live very close to the Middlesex Fells Reservation. I also love to go for drives which is always so enjoyable with a buddy!
