Abby the Animal Lover

Pet care experience

My name is Abby and I am a travel occupational therapist. My home base is Franklin, WI but I will be in Urbana IL on a work assignment until end of July! Would love to meet and take care of your animal during my time here. I have 1 cat of my own recused from a shelter that I love dearly. Animals make me feel so happy and I love being around them no matter what size or shape or personality they come in. I would love to take care of and play with yours!! I am respectful, trustworthy, and honest and I cannot wait to meet you and your fur baby. I am a very active person, passionate about health and well-being, and can walk long distances with your dog. When I go for runs, I often see people walking their dogs and always find myself wishing I had a dog of my own to walk! With this said, I think I am the perfect person for this job.

Abby was great sitting our clingy dog and 2 cats! Frequent and clear communication, and I think our pup made a new friend.

Abby is one of the most compassionate animal caregivers I have ever met. I was her roommate for 2 years and all of our friends with dogs relied on Abby when they were out of town for a few days. There is nothing she loves more than feeding all animals (especially dogs and cats), going on adventures, hikes, and runs with dogs, and always making sure the animal is comfortable and happy. She goes above and beyond to ensure the pet is well taken care of, and she is a morning person so it works out great for the dog who needs to go out to the bathroom in the morning! If you need someone to watch your pet while you're away, Abby would be the pet caregiver you need to have a worry-free trip.

Abby is an awesome dog sitter! She has taken care of our highly energetic border collie, Sadie, several times including some multiple day dog sitting when we were out of town. She has taken amazing care of our dog each time. Great attention to detail, safety awareness and you can tell she loves dogs! Abby is great at keeping us up to date with how our dog is doing including sending pictures of adventures. We trust her greatly and she has made us feel very good about being away from our dog. Abby is our go-to dog sitter!

Abby is a lover of all dogs and is extremely respectful, amicable, and reliable! She is thorough when it comes to communication as transparency is important to both her and pet owners. Abby has walked/babysat my sweet shih tzu on multiple occasions whenever I was away for vacation and I know she is in very good and capable hands every time. I give my highest regard for Abby’s reliable and warm nature - your dog will enjoy their time in her company! There will hardly be a shortage of belly rubs and loving attention when your pet is with her.

I work four days a week with Wednesdays off and many weekends free. I am very outdoorsy and often find myself feeling like I would enjoy my time a lot better with a four-legged companion while out on long walks and runs.
