Pet Lover-Dependable-Caring

Pet care experience

Hi there! I’m Abby and I am a total animal lover. I think of pets as not only companions, but part of the family, and they should be treated as such! My parents have a rescue Labrador Retriever and I absolutely adore her. I’ve grown up with dogs since I was a toddler and can’t imagine my life without them. I’ve had experience with different breeds, sizes, and ages. I also love cats! I've always had a very big heart for animals and am incredibly compassionate and caring towards them. I would love to take care of your pet(s) and treat them like family. IMPORTANT NOTES: 1) I have various rates for holidays, additional dogs, puppy rate, additional cats, 60 minute walks or drop-ins. For a detailed summary of rates, please refer to “Services - See Additional Services and Rates” on my profile. It is all laid out there. Thanks! 2) I have many furry friends on Rover and I like to help out when I can. If doing an overnight house sitting, I may have a few drop-ins and walks to do throughout the day, since I do this full-time. I would not be gone for more than 4 hours at a time. If you need more constant care, I am probably not the sitter for you! But rest assured, your home will be my new home base while I’m there and I will be with your pet in between drop-ins and walks and all through the night. 3) My fiancé travels a lot for work and his schedule varies often. He gets his next month’s schedule on the 18th of the month prior. Because of this, I no longer am doing bookings far out in advance. However, if you ask me about the dates you need ahead of time, I will set a reminder in my phone to let you know the month prior on the 18th. If someone already asked first already for those dates, I will let you know right away so you can find an alternative plan in a timely manner. I know this is not ideal for people who need to plan months in advance and I totally understand if you need to find another sitter sooner! Example: If you need me in August, I can let you know by July 18th if I can book the services. Hope this make sense, it just helps him and I line up our schedules better.

Abby is a wonderful pet sitter. Everything we asked for was done flawlessly, including administering all the medications. She really paid attention to the cats and kept them entertained with their favorite toys. She communicated with me whenever necessary, took good notes after each visit for the Rover card, and took the cutest pictures of them. I'm more comfortable now than ever to go on vacations knowing that the cats are in good hands.

Information Abby L. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any special needs that I can accommodate. Is your dog potty trained? Is your dog good with other dogs while passing during a walk? What are his/her triggers? Is your pet on any medications? Any allergies? Feeding and sleep schedules?

A typical day

I love throwing the ball for doggos and playing fetch with them! If your dog or cat has any favorite toys or games, let me know.

I typically can do last minute bookings and same day bookings! Reach out if you are in need of last minute care. I love scheduling meet and greets beforehand (if time allows). This ensures that I will be a good fit for you and your pet and I can get to know them. I am very detail-oriented. I do great with written down instructions, easier to follow and ensure I don’t miss anything! I always make sure to send many updates and photos. This will allow you to feel at ease and know that your pet is in good hands!
