Pet care experience
Since the day I was born I've personally had over 40 cats and 20 dogs. I have taken care of and owned small and large livestock including horses/ cattle/ goats/ poultry/ rodent and reptiles. I can give any OTC medications to a pet as needed. I have been pet sitting since I was 7 and genuinely love animals with my whole heart. In high school I co-started a club called Compassion for Shelter Animals which still exists today. I've worked in barns as a barn hand, on ranches with cattle, and in grooming salons as a bather. I did FFA in high school, took and received an animal handling certificate for large animals. I am a proponent for spaying and neutering of animals and have personally participated in trap-and-release programs for feral cats and kittens. I have rescued and rehomed over 30 cats and 15 dogs in my life. I personally have 3 cats and a dog right now. I find joy in being able to connect with animals because they bring joy to others and making them more comfortable when their owners are away is a passion of mine. I'm currently working as an independent contractor so my scheduled availability is very flexible. Walking, check-ins, and any overnight stays can all be easily negotiated :). I am passionate about the well-being of pets. I respect leash-laws, and owners wishes when it comes to their wishes for their pets. I supply treats but not without owner consent. I expect full health reports so that I may beware of any conditions or issues with your pet. In my home, my own cats are not allowed outside without being on a harness or leash due to me living in town.
Reviews
Abby is wonderful! Very thoughtful about how best to make our cats comfortable when we are out of town. Highly recommend her for any of your pet care needs!
Fantastic sitter, she was very flexible and detailed with reports on my dogs. 10/10 will rebook again for future sitting needs.
Abby has been taking care of all my various animals for the past 10yrs. She has done an excellent job and I would highly recommend trusting her with any or all of your pets!
Abby has always been a big help taking care of my families pets. At one time we had 5 dogs and three cats and it was never a problem for her

Information Abby M. would like to know about your pet
I request to know about any special health/ behavior/ breed specific information in advance. This is solely so that I can provide the highest quality care and safety of your pet.
A typical day
The personality of your pet is the key to what I do when spending time with them. Do they love going on walks? Or are they more the homebody type? My favorite activity is taking photos and videos of your pet so that I can share their day with you when you can't be there in person. I frequent dog parks, city parks, country roads and streets in towns to walk a dog in a an environment they love. If your dog doesn't walk much, then I'm always able to play tug-of-war, fetch, or whatever game they enjoy. I can sit on the couch and watch TV with them or we can go out to get coffee somewhere together.
