Availability
I work part-time in film & TV production with a variable schedule, which means I might be away from the house for as long as 10 hours at a time. Realistically, I know this doesn’t work well for many pets’ routines, which is why I want to be upfront about my availability. I will, however, be as communicative with you as possible about my schedule as soon as I know it. If a particular day is going to be long, I can also see if one of my film/tv colleagues can cover me, so that I can provide your pets the best care I can. Ultimately, it’s up to you and your pets’ level of comfort! I’m here to support you :)

Safety, trust & environment
I take your pet's health and safety very seriously, which is why I make sure I understand not only what their immediate needs are (food, water, exercise, enrichment), but also what potential stressors might be (loud noises, other animals, etc.). I gather as much information as I can up front, so I can anticipate your pet's needs as they arise. Knowing where the cleaning materials, trash, emergency numbers, and security items (crate, leash, carrier) are in your home gives ME peace of mind and makes my job that much easier. Once I have all the info I need, while you're gone, I can check back in with you as much or as little as you prefer -- I'm happy to send updates throughout the day, or I'm just as happy to take care of things myself and provide a summary when you return. Either way, I make sure both you and your pet(s) enjoy your time away!
Information Abigail A. would like to know about your pet
I'll need to know if your pet takes any medication and what time they take the medication, including emergency meds. If I'm feeding your pet, I'll need to know what they eat and at what time, and if I need to separate the feeding areas for multiple pets. I also need to know where you keep your cleaning materials and where the trash goes, both inside and outside. If a big mess is made, I don't want you to have to deal with it when you come home!
A typical day
Tell me where the toys and treats are! The time I spend playing with your pet is not only important for their enrichment, but it's also the most fun part of the job. Tired pets are happy pets, after all.

Pet care, for your peace of mind
Pet care experience
Hi, I'm Abby! I've been an animal lover my whole life, and I've been taking care of pets in various settings (in-home, daycare, boarding, dog-walking) for more than ten years. I specialize in multiple-pet households, but whether you have one pet or five, rest assured they'll each receive the best care possible. I'm extremely detailed (I love a comprehensive info sheet!), and I ask the right questions up front, so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pets are in good hands.
Reviews
Abby was conscientious and communicative. She did a great job taking care of our home and cats. Recommended!
Thank you!
Abby stayed with Wendell, our high anxiety pup (actually an 11 yo dog), for a week. He was comfortable with her & did not have any anxious moments. She was able to help him feel calm while we were away. We appreciate her help & will definitely ask for her again.
Abby has always been extremely trustworthy, responsible, and caring towards all of my pets! She is very communicative and will always be my #1 pick to entrust the care of my animals.
