Not many animals I haven't loved!
Pet care experience
I've had animals my whole life. I owned and ran a sustainable farm for years and I have had experience with chickens, goats, horses, cows, sheep, snakes, etc. I was an exotic bird keeper for a Marine Life institute. I've worked for the Birmingham Zoo and I've also had my immortal cat for 21 years! (I've also been an RN for 17 years and caring is just what I do) I could never find anyone to sit for my dogs, and I don't want to board for every outing. So I decided to be part of the solution.
Reviews
Abby was absolutely wonderful to interact with. She brought a wealth of knowledge and experience when caring for our little furry ones and am glad to see that she was able to develop a great rapport with them. She was always great at sending us photos and making sure that we were up to date with all that happened from day to day. I highly recommend Abby if you need someone to look in on your pets!
Oh my gosh Abby is the best. I was nervous because my Bella is very fearful and doesn't really take to new people well. Abby did a great job and sent awesome pictures back. Will definitely use her again.
Perfect. Absolutely perfect no complaints. Great with the dogs and awesome personality. Was good with short notice and will definitely call her up again!
Abby was fantastic with my cat while I was on a business trip. She took photos during every drop in visit, posted updates on what he'd been doing and played with him. She even went above and beyond by cleaning the mess he made with his litter. ? I'll be booking Abby again next time I have to go out of town!

Safety, trust & environment
I have experience in animal behavior modification and believe in intermittent rewards without negative actions or words. I'm comfortable feeding, crating, walking, and interacting with most animals. I have trained service dogs, exotic birds, farm animals, and zoo animals in the past and feel confident in my ability to bond with your pet!
Information Abby S. would like to know about your pet
Let me know ahead of time if there are any special needs or concerns. My own dog has 3 legs, 1 ear, and only 50% of his teeth. That came with a level of grumpiness and fear in the beginning. So, I understand how issues need extra patience!
A typical day
Pets need activity and socialization! My job is to be both. I will talk to your pets like they were people and I'm sure we'll have great conversation on our way to check out every sight and smell in the neighborhood. I have a neighborhood equipped with awesome sidewalks, a field, and a park!

Availability
I'm currently flexible in what I do because I run my own small beauty studio, so I have control of my own schedule 100%. I simply book out times in my running agenda that interfaces with clients and personal so we always have an up to date plan!
