Pet care experience

Vet Med Professional Pet Sitter🐾❤️

I’ve been caring for animals my entire life and have over 4 years of hands-on experience in veterinary medicine. Most recently, I worked as an Oncology Coordinator at a specialty veterinary hospital in New York, where I cared for pets with a wide range of medical and emotional needs. I’m excited to be relocating to Fort Worth, Texas and starting my externship, which will give me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to connect with new clients and their pets. I’m looking forward to getting to know the local community while doing something I truly love. I’ve been an active Rover sitter since 2018 and have built a loyal client base through Rover, Facebook, and veterinary referrals. My background allows me to confidently care for senior pets, administer medications, and follow detailed care instructions, all while making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I provide attentive, compassionate care with lots of playtime, affection, and enrichment. I also send regular photo and video updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away. I’m reliable, flexible, and always happy to accommodate your pet’s routine. References are available upon request—I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family members!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in their home, I prioritize safety, routine, and comfort. I carefully follow all instructions provided by pet parents, including feeding schedules, medication administration, and any special care needs. With my background in veterinary medicine, I’m attentive to changes in behavior, appetite, or energy level and take a calm, patient approach with every pet. I ensure doors, gates, and leashes are secure, keep the home environment tidy, and make sure pets have fresh water and a clean, comfortable space at all times. I respect your home as if it were my own and aim to maintain your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible to reduce stress. I also provide regular photo and video updates so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away.

Abby was amazing!! We felt so comfortable having Abby take care of Albert. She sent us pictures and hung out with Albert for a little. We’d definitely have Abby walk Albert again!!

Abby and our energetic pup, Fluff, got along great. I felt very comfortable leaving Fluff for the day and will definitely work with Abby in the future.

Drop-In Visits • Nov 21, 2019

Abby took care of my cat Amos with twice a day visits while I was away for two weeks. She did everything she said she was going to do and communicated with me regularly, sending me photos of Amos almost every day (sometimes he was in hiding). This was a first time with Rover, and I was a little nervous, but I quickly realized everything would be just fine. I recommend Abby highly, and would be happy to have her take care of Amos next time.

Both our cats, Quince and Booker, my husband, Tom, and I rate Abby as the most excellent of pet-sitters. Professional, efficient, warm and kind, Abby fulfilled her duties far beyond the A+ we school teachers would give her. Photos and videos entertained and assured us that our cats were in the care of an expert. With enthusiasm and confidence, we recommend Abby to you. Maureen and Tom Kilbourn

Do they run away when let outside or do they need to be leashed? Are they microchipped? Do they get along with other pets and humans? What kind of medications do they take if any?
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
