Pet care experience
Zookeeper to care for your animals!
Hi! I’m Abby, and I’d love to take care of your pets! I grew up in the Pittsburgh suburbs and have always been in a home full of animals. At one point, I had 5 dogs, 5 cats, 2 rabbits, and 2 mice. I have years of experience in caring for domestic animals and will provide all of them with love! Additionally, I am a trained zookeeper as I worked at the National Aviary and Pittsburgh Zoo & PPG Aquarium. I have a knack for animal behavior. I have experience with over 150 different species of exotic animals, so I can handle any dog (or cat) with practiced ease no matter how big or small. I can follow your specific directions to a t, and I am more than happy to make additional accommodations for the well-being of your animal.. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me, and I can’t wait to meet your pet!

Safety, trust & environment
I love a set of instructions and will follow them exactly! While I don't board, I am familiar with all the neighborhoods in my work radius, so I always look out for good walking routes. When it comes to feeding and cleaning, I try to make my presence unnoticeable beyond a happy pet and my updates!
Ratings and reviews
Reliable and responsive!!
Abby did a really amazing job with my cat. She was very proactive and observant, noting when the litter was low or when my cat’s inhaler seemed to run out. I definitely would trust her to act in an emergency situation. She also left my place super clean. I loved all the pictures and videos - my cat looked super happy with her. I would highly recommend!
Abby did an amazing job with my medically complex cat. She was able to follow his complicated routine without any issues. My cat was smitten with her and gifted her lots of biscuits and kisses! She also left my place spotless. I would highly recommend!
My doggies were taken care of. Thank you Abby!!!
Abby was great!
Abby was absolutely amazing with Pluto while I was out of town! She was very communicative the entire time and sent pictures and videos of Pluto throughout the day helping ease my anxiety of being away, she spent extra time bonding with Pluto after walks which I’m sure he loved! Every guideline was followed I came home to a happy healthy Pluto! I will 100% be booking again!

Schedule
I have a 9 to 5, but I can work remotely most days, which is great for drop-in visits! For dog walks, I prefer before and after work, but I'm flexible.
