Safety, trust & environment

I’m a true animal lover and will care for your furry family members as if they were my own. I prioritize being present and attentive to their needs, making sure they always feel safe and supported—wherever they are, I’m right there with them.

Information Abby L. would like to know about your pet

I think it’s very important to know each pet’s routine, personality, energy level, and any special needs ahead of time. I also like to know about feeding schedules, medications, allergies, favorite activities, fears or triggers, and how they typically interact with people and other animals. The more I know beforehand, the better I can make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.

A typical day

I love keeping pets active, engaged, and happy! Depending on each pet’s personality and energy level, I enjoy going on walks, playing fetch, using interactive toys, practicing basic commands, and spending plenty of time cuddling and giving attention. For cats, I love playing with wand toys, laser pointers, and creating a calm, cozy environment for them to relax in. My goal is to make sure every pet feels comfortable, loved, and entertained while they’re in my care.

Pet care experience

I’ve grown up in a home with multiple pets and have extensive experience caring for animals. Over the years, neighbors and friends have trusted me to care for their pets while they were away. I’m also a four-time foster parent with the Rockingham-Harrisonburg SPCA, where I’ve cared for animals in need and helped prepare them for adoption.

Abby has the biggest heart for animals!! Throughout our time in college together she fostered two dogs and two cats, and it did not seem like a walk in the park. Regardless of any obstacles, though, such as potty training struggles or unexpected illnesses, Abby always put their care first. She is incredibly responsible and would sacrifice her time to make sure the dogs got their walks in, always got the pets fun toys, and constantly shared her affection with them. All of our fosters loved Abby very much. Abby also has been volunteering at pet shelters for years simply because she loves animals so much. She is a wonderful choice to be a pet caretaker!
