Pet care experience
Hello! I’m a college student at Cornell University living in Ithaca and taking classes virtually this semester. Being cooped up all day has me missing my pets back home, and a virtual semester gives me the time and flexibility to devote myself to taking care of other people’s pets! I’ve always lived in a house full of dogs and cats and taking care of them was my responsibility when I lived at home. I have experience with high and low energy dogs (of all ages), pets with high levels of anxiety, and pets with restricted diets. I have a car that’s prepped for dog trips (thanks leather seats!) and access to all of the wonderful parks around ithaca. My house is home to myself and three wonderful roommates who love animals, so you can be sure your pet will be getting a lot of affection! We are all incredibly pet starved and promise to care for your pets like we would care for our own if we could see them. :)

Abby is an amazing person and absolutely wonderful sitter. I was having a really tough time figuring out what to do while I waited until my house closed. She offered to come up from her family's home and watch Luna pretty last minute. Come to find out, it was over a 3 hour drive! This was a huge help to me, and upon meeting Abby, I knew Luna was in the best hands she could be next to being with me. Abby was communicative, responsive and sent updates in the evening and morning and whenever requested. I would 10000% recommend her again to anyone needing a dog sitter. I hardly ever trust anyone with Luna as she is a bit of a special case (can't be around other dogs, weird with certain people, etc) but felt that Luna was very safe and understood in Abby's care. She is lovely all around! If I ever need a sitter in Ithaca again, I'll def be calling on Abby!

Leaving a glowing review for Abby L.! Where to start...the long story made short...Abby was extremely flexible, communicative, and most importantly, kind to our pet, Joaquin. She shared updates on how our pet pug was eating, sleeping, and getting along with the new environment. We had just picked up some medication for our pug and she was accommodating enough to assist with continuing the medication even when I mentioned it right before dropping Joaquin off. And like I said, most importantly, our came back to us smiling and healthy which means that he enjoyed his stay with Abby L. So we will definitely be looking for Abby L. next time we need someone to watch over our pet. All the best!
Abby was so kind and accommodating. Before we dropped off our kitty, she was great at asking if he had any special needs and let us know what we should bring with him. She was also flexible on the pickup time, which was a nice bonus in case we needed it.

Information Abby L. would like to know about your pet
I love all kinds of dogs. My latest pets have been corgis, but I have also had pitbulls in the past so I’m familiar with a range of breeds and energy levels. I’d love to know what level of activity and environment your dog is used to, and how they do around strange people and pets. I have no pets in my home at the moment, but it’s good for me to know when I’m deciding if your pet would enjoy walks in areas with higher human/animal traffic.
A typical day
I’ve set a 15,000 daily step goal on my phone and Id love to have some company along for the ride! I love hiking and walking around Ithaca, and some of my favorite trailers are in Treman park. East Hill Recreation way is a favorite walk right by my house. I also bought some tennis balls in preparation for some fun times at the park.
