A typical day

I love to play with dogs and go on walks. Some of my favorite activities include hiking, playing fetch, tug of war, and cuddling. I love when neighborhoods have long walking paths; I take dogs on those.

Pet care experience

In middle and high school, my family and I were members of Rover and we developed a small group of satisfied repeat clients. I have been around animals my whole life. My uncle had two dogs that I grew up with. Watching them while my uncle and aunt were out of town taught me valuable skills and experiences like walking a dog, feeding, bathing, playing, and training. My aunt is a vet and I have learned a lot from her. In high school, my family got our dog, and having her in the house with us has been a joy; she makes us laugh every day. The responsibility of having a dog made me more reliable when it comes to pet care and overall life. Also, I was part of a club at my former university where we volunteered to train service dogs for people in need, and a lot of those skills and practices translate into how well I can handle a dog. In Summer 2023, I moved back home and continued my Rover services in my hometown, gaining several clients, including multiple repeat clients for drop-ins, walks, and housesitting.

This was my first time hiring a dog sitter, and I was naturally a bit nervous, but Abby was absolutely amazing! She did a fantastic job taking care of my dog, keeping me updated, and putting my mind completely at ease. She is reliable, caring, and professional. I highly recommend her and will definitely be booking her again!
