Recent Graduate: Active+Available

Pet care experience

I am a recent UT Austin grad who is earning additional income while I volunteer and intern in my field of choice, museum and curatorial studies. I love to dog sit because it fulfills my desire to care for animals though I am not currently in a position to take on my own little buddy. I'm an animal lover who grew up with dogs, cats, bunnies, hamsters, and fish. I began house/dog-sitting in high school and continued throughout college. While in Austin I volunteered for Austin Pets Alive!, where I transported and socialized dogs and cats as well as walking and fostering dogs. I have experience with large, active, aggressive, and anxious dogs, as well as dogs with high prey drives. Every animal deserves compassion and patience, and I love providing that for every creature I can.

Abby was great! The dogs loved her and she was even familiar with their medications! I hope to use her again and again!

Information Abby L. would like to know about your pet

I understand that every dog and owner's comfort level are different. Please let me know if your dog/s have any history of aggression or anxiety. I am happy to accommodate any dietary, behavioral, or medical need.

A typical day

I enjoy walking in neighborhoods or on trails, especially the Katy trail. My favorite way to play fetch is with a tennis ball and racket in a large field. In Austin I took a lot of the dogs swimming and even had a few who would run beside me while I bicycled. I love a good workout buddy!
