Experienced and Caring Pet-Lover

Pet care experience

Hi, I’m Abby and I have a lifetime of learning from cats and dogs! I have had a Golden Retriever, a Goldendoodle, and a Maltepoo as pets, as well as numerous feline friends! I currently have just my cat, Pinky. I have experience walking, leash training, and socializing dogs at an animal shelter. I also have experience with senior and special needs pets and administering oral, topical, and injectable medication. I have maintained a 5-star rating for walking, sitting, and providing companionship for hundreds of pets since beginning my professional pet care journey in 2017. These jobs have provided me with skills to work with all different types and ages of dogs and cats (and birds, and fish, and…) and to get to know their individual personalities and needs. I would be happy to provide walks, drop-in visits, and overnight pet sitting for your pal. Please contact me with any further questions or concerns. I hope to meet your furry friend soon! If this is your first time with Rover, use my promo code for $20 off! ABBYV23486

Abby is wonderful! We are repeat customers and will probably only call up Abby moving forward. 😊 She is so great with our girl Mysa and so kind and communicative with us while we are away. Trust is hard when you leave your baby behind on a trip, but Abby makes the process very comfortable for us. ♥️

Abby took great care of our cats and kept us updated constantly with any news. We had tried other sitters in the past do drop in's and our cats were very upset and needed more attention. We were so happy Abby actually stayed with them for the few hours they clearly needed with bonding time and play time to remain happy while we were gone for a few weeks. Will definitely hire Abby again!

Abby was awesome. Took lots of photos, and our cautious dog warmed up to her immediately. We would definitely recommend Abby.

Safety, trust & environment

Safety is a priority for all services I perform. I am extra attentive to doors, gates, windows, and harnesses, collars, leashes to ensure that your pet is properly secured at all times in my care. I will also respect your home and be sure to leave it as good as or better than I found it!

Information Abby V. would like to know about your pet

For dogs: What is your pup’s favorite playtime activity? What are the specifics of their walking/pottying routines and details about their typical schedule? Any known triggers for fear or aggression? How do they respond to other dogs when on leash? For cats: Do they have a favorite treat or toy? What is your cat’s personality? Are they timid and skittish or rowdy and playful? Are there any known triggers for fear or aggression?

A typical day

Does your pup have any favorite places? Adventures my furry clients have enjoyed with me include walking to local parks, the Waterfront, and PG&J’s Dog Park Bar! Others prefer to run out their endless energy playing fetch in their back yard. Please let me know how I can make the most of your pet’s time!
