Local College Student, I love pets!
Pet care experience
In middle and high school, my family and I were members of Rover and we developed a small group of satisified 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 both when it comes to pet care and overall in life. Also, I was a part of a club at my former university where we volunteer to train service dogs for people in need, and so a lot of those skills and practices translate into how well I can handle a dog.
Reviews
This is our second time using Abby to take care of our cat while we’re away and it is definitely not our last! She always sends thorough updates with lots of pictures of our cat and we can tell he loves her visits!
Abby has helped us with our doggies a few times and she’s my go to person. She’s very reliable and responsible and I highly recommend her.
Abby goes above and beyond for Louie. Thank you for all your help this week.
Highly recommend Abby. She does a great job with my doggie and goes for long walks with her. She’s reliable and I don’t have to worry about her showing up. We were out of town and I had peace of mind knowing she would be there for my fur baby. She sends updates and pictures which is really nice.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I am always respectful when I am in a client's home. I appreciate when clients leave instructions and clear expectations on how they would like their space to be respected while I am caring for their pets.
Information Abby S. would like to know about your pet
I have some experience working with puppies/younger dogs and I know how to accommodate senior dogs as well. Please let me know if your pet has any special needs. I prefer to work with medium and large breed dogs, but I am open to service all clients.
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.
