I’ve always been drawn to animals

Pet care experience

From birth I have been in a home with at least one dog. For a long period of time, we had 3 at a time. My family’s first dog was a beautiful black lab. I adored her. We adopted our second dog from a shelter when I was around 13. She was an Australian Shepherd mix who was shy around strangers, but loved her family. Our third dog was adopted about 5 years ago from a woman who was put in hospice. He was an old, overweight Pomeranian who we helped slim down and live the rest of his life with love and attention. Our current dog, Bruno, is a sweet springer spaniel we took in after he had gone through several owners. He wasn’t treated well, and we wanted to give him a forever home where he could play his heart out with no worries. He has been such a blessing to our family and never fails to make us laugh or smile. Over the years, I have learned to take care of any dog no matter the temperament, size, or age. I am patient and willing to work with the dog to ensure complete satisfaction from both the dog and the owner. I am a quick learner, and I am able to follow direction well. I would love to meet your wonderful furry friend as soon and as often as you need.

This was our first time trying out a pet sitter from Rover and Abby was fantastic! She stayed in our home for a long weekend with our dog and followed all given instructions. Our dog seemed to be comfortable with Abby immediately which was a huge plus. When we returned our house was just as we left it. We will definitely be rebooking Abby in the future.

Safety, trust & environment

Since I have a dog at home who is skittish around other pets, I prefer to take care of your pet in your home. I will follow the rules and care plans you have set for your pets, as well as use knowledge from my own care routines to ensure your pet has a safe and enjoyable time while you’re away.

Information Abby V. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if there are any special needs you animal requires, such as dietary restrictions, comfort toys, medication, allergies, sensitivities, and things to avoid. With this information, your pet will be in much better hands, as I will be able to navigate their care plan easier.

A typical day

There are several fun places I could bring an active dog. If the owner requests it, I know several trails, both busy and secluded, where I often hike with my dog. I will play with them to their heart's content and also give them the downtime that they need. Also, if there is anything special your pet enjoys doing, please feel free to let me know, as I'd be happy to add that in.
