Friend of all dogs

Pet care experience

The care I provide will make your absence a little less lonely for your beloved pet and more fun and loving. I have a Master's degree in Behavior Analysis which works wonders with dog training. I have raised two dogs from puppies with my family, but they are still my babies to me (9 and 5-year-olds now). I will respect all dog training levels and methods you choose to use for your furry friend. I am willing to care for your pet between my meetings/ work on weekdays (and all nights usually after 6), as well as full watch on weekends. I love being active and playing, and am ok with all types of interactions (licks, rough housing, cuddles, playing, training). No breed is off limits! I am Ok with cleaning up any and all messes that may happen with the pets. I have my own car so timing should be no issue unless it conflicts with my work schedule! I would love to explore trails and parks with your dog if you allow, or take them any place you would like. Basically, I am open to do anything with your dog upon request! I also interned at my undergrad university in a program called Behavioral Applications Regarding Canines, which allowed me to train dogs at a local humane society! If you have any questions, feel free to ask!

Abby is the first sitter I’ve hired on Rover and she was awesome, would absolutely recommend! She watched my 2 cats for a week while I was away on vacation. I had total peace of mind leaving them with her. When we got back, kitties were happy to see us but could tell they had gotten all the attention and care they needed.

Abby stopped in and checked on my 2 cats while I was away. She treated them as if they were her own. Gladly will book again in the future.

Abby is absolutely amazing with our 2 dogs at home. She's patient and kind but knows how to dicipline them when needed. Even when our crazy puppy runs at cars and other dogs she maintains control and keeps her calm. Our dogs are very good boys thanks to her.

Safety, trust & environment

I care for my cats in my home (they're indoor cats) by keeping them to a regular feeding schedule and try to play with them as much as I can after work to ensure they're staying active! For dogs, I ensure that they are comfortable with a stranger coming into their home by taking it at their pace (small pets here and there, getting on their level, respecting their space if needed).

Information Abby S. would like to know about your pet

No breed preferences, but training methods would be great to know to ensure they are used consistently/ make sure they're successful with your dog (if they have a routine to follow)

A typical day

Parks/ trails around Verona are plentiful and many dog friendly! I also will play with toys and run around with them/ wear them down a little for a nap or bed time!

I have 2 cats (whom I adore) and am looking to rescue a dog soon. They are very much a part of my daily routine, and I always ensure they're fed/happy!
