Animal Lover&Experience in pet care

Pet care experience

Hello! Apart from having dogs all my life, and currently owning a very dog-like cat, I worked with a pet care company in Northern VA for about 1.5 years, meaning I have worked with other peoples animals other than my own. Because of this, I understand the importance of respecting the ways people want their animals taken care of. During this time I walked, fed, administered medication, and played with cats and dogs. In addition to this, I have experience house sitting, for example I just house sat for two weeks and took care of 5 pets! I have a car and am available to serve all over Richmond, Colonial Heights and Petersburg. Thank You!

Abby was fantastic! She was always prompt with responses to any questions and concerns we had while she was cat-sitting for us and sent frequent updates. She was flexible with her scheduling and clearly took amazing care of our cat! Would highly recommend!

Abby has taken care of my family’s two dogs, two cats, and many house plants for over a week at a time and has never had any issue, even giving daily medications to an elderly dog. 10/10 would recommend

Abby has taken care of my cats (one of whom is a high-energy kitten) with great success on multiple occasions. She is flexible, reliable, and follows my feeding and care instructions to a T. It's always a relief to have peace of mind when you're on vacation and when Abby is watching my pets, I never have to worry about the quality of their care. Abby has been my first choice as a petsitter for years--I can't recommend her enough!

Safety, trust & environment

I am always respectful of your space and your wishes for your pets. I am hyper vigilant about locking doors and crates, etc. and keeping everything clean and safe for the animals while owners are away. Safety and comfort are my top priorities!

Information Abby R. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know about any specific medications or special needs your pets may require! If they are resistant to taking their medication, please also include the best way possible to administer! I want to make sure your loved ones get the best care possible!

A typical day

I love walking all around Richmond, and often think to myself how great it would be to have a dog to accompany me, since I don’t have my own. I particularly like Byrd park and even just exploring all the little hidden neighborhood nooks and parks in the Fan. We can walk to our hearts desire :) Apart from walking, we can play games, snuggle, or just hangout!
