I am just beginning to re enter the work force after being a student for the last 4 years, and want to see your animals on the weekends to keep me sane. I am up early to walk my own dog each day so can I do early morning let outs/ walks as well as daytime and evening or even overnight care.

Safety, trust & environment

I am able to come to your home to care for your pet with great daily flexibility. I have a vehicle, so I can easily pop over and let out your pet or feed them/ change a litter box. I can also do a home stay for whatever period of time is needed.

Information Abby S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any special needs or reactive behaviors to new people, so that I can be prepared for home visits. Please also inform me of any medications they take and how they should be administered.

A typical day

I am excited to spend time outside with your dogs! I just moved to West St Paul, and I’m ready to get familiar with all the dogs and dog parks in this area. Your pup is more than welcome to take a ride in my car to any of them, and if feasible we can do field trips to swimming areas around the metro. I am also content to laze on the couch and snuggle with your dog if they are low energy or senior. Regarding cats, I love to use toys with them for mental stimulation and play time! I also love to provide them companionship if they are more interested in humans than alone time.

Pet care experience

I grew up with dogs in my home from birth, and had up to 4 dogs in my house all at different ages. Family and friends have relied on me to walk, bathe, and sit for their doggies since I was 8 or nine years old. I have experience working with puppies all the way to senior dogs at the end of their lives. I specifically cared for two of my own senior dogs by providing homemade food, cleaning up accidents, and providing a safe location to go through seizures.

Abby did an outstanding job, house sitting with my Winnie. I was unable to be with Winnie the 4th of July weekend, which is a really hard time for her. But Abby did an excellent job of communicating and working to figure out how to calm her and keep her safe. She was clearly kind to Winnie, asked questions for clarification and went above and beyond to love and care for her. Abby sent pictures and communicated with me several times each day. I would trust Abby to watch Winnie again.

Abby was excellent! She gave us daily updates on how our dog was doing. She kept up his routine and stuck with his schedule. She played his favorite dog games with him and took him for walks in his favorite park. She understood his response to our absence and soothed him and stayed by his side. We couldn't have found a more mature, responsible and knowledgeable dog sitter.

Abby was fantastic with our three pets! She was very communicative ahead of time about our needs. When Abby stayed at our house, she took care of all the medicines, walks, and everything we needed. Plus, they sent us a ton of pictures while we were gone. It was great know that our pets were in safe hands the whole. Definitely would recommend Abby for any of your pet sitting needs!

Abby was fantastic in caring for my dog! She was communicative and updated me throughout my entire trip with photos. My dog is reactive and Abby was fantastic about meeting her where she was and attending to her special behavioral needs and schedule. I highly recommend booking with her—I know I will again!
