House Sitting • Sep 24, 2026

Abby was absolutely INCREDIBLE. After my scheduled sitter cancelled 4 days before I was supposed to leave town, I contacted Abby from the start she was incredibly responsive and thoughtful. She sent me multiple photos and videos and updates about the boys and how they were doing, and she took wonderful care of them. I never once was concerned while I was traveling which is hard for me (even with the best of sitters). One of my pups even had a medical issue that started right before the trip, and she followed all of the instructions I left for his medicines to a T. His sore on his armpit looks better than it would if I were here trying to take care of it. She also took care of so much around my apartment on her departure. Due to the coastal flooding, it took me two hours to get home, so it was a godsend knowing I could just fall back into my bed when I walked in the door. My place looked exactly like it did when I left. I look forward to trusting Abby with my pups for my next trip, and it's put my mind at ease finding someone so caring and reliable!

Abby did such an amazing job taking care of my boys! This was the first time anyone watched them and Ripley is a very scared and anxious boy. He immediately felt safe with her. She kept me updated with the sweetest pictures so this momma’s heart could feel good about leaving her boys. I could not recommend Abby enough!

Amazing sitter! Treated my furbaby with so much love and attention. Abby is a real professional when it comes to cats! Like most cats the trust must be earned through boundaries and patience. Within a few days my kitten fell in love with her and her husband! 10/10 would book again.

Safety, trust & environment

If boarding cats, I have a separate, windowed room set up for them with toys and cat approved scratchers for them to vacation in. Whether attending to pets at their own home or mine, I am very careful to follow all specified directions and instructions for their care so they are as relaxed and calm as possible while you are away.

Pets

A typical day

Walks, fetch, tug of war, I have a go with your pet's personality, needs, and requirements attitude. But whatever the activity level, I strive to ensure your pet gets the exercise and stimulation they need to be healthy and happy!

Cats
Takes only 1 client at a time
Abby can host up to 1 pet per night
Medications, temperament, favorite toys, sounds or movements to avoid...your pet is as unique as you are, and I want to ensure they get the best possible care. Even if you think it is silly, please share! My cat for example LOVES to play fetch with their string toy, it really wears him out. So I like to make sure anyone watching him plays with him this way too :)
