Safety, trust & environment

Given the opportunity to be your sitter or walker, I will look after your pets as if they’re my own. I will follow the directions given to me, in order to provide the best care. I will make sure your pet’s fed, given water, clean and let out as often as needed and make sure the home is left they way it was before.

Information Abby S. would like to know about your pet

I’d love to know your pet’s routine and their personalities. How they interact with other animals and their behavior. Any allergies your pet/s have as well and favorite treats/tricks.

A typical day

I love to go on walks and explore new neighborhood’s and smells with the dogs. I will play with them and match their energy as much as possible.

Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 11. I’ve grown up living with and taking care of dogs and cats. I have house sat and dog walked for family and some neighbors. Feeding, bathing and playing with their furry friends.

Dog Walking • Apr 01, 2026

I hired Abby to walk my dog, Bear while we were out of the country for 2 weeks. Our regular animal sitters work during the day and Bear is used to going to work with me during the day so I wanted to have a break for him. Even when he was being stubborn and wouldn't walk for her, she'd still try, spend time with him and make sure he was happy and cared for. I appreciated her flexibility in tending to his needs, even if it wasn't the walk she was expecting. She's great to communicate with and very good to our animals

Abby is the best. Our pets were very well cared for, we got lots of communication and pictures and our house was immaculate when we returned.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
