I know how to operate around escape artist cats and cats that really don’t want anything to do with me. I would also be able to follow all instructions if your cats have specific diets or needs!

Information Abigail D. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any special needs, health concerns to look out for, or any particular dislikes. I will do my best to accommodate any special care requests.

I always take care of basic needs first: food and water. While your pet eats, I will tidy up and scoop litter if needed. This gives me the rest of the visit to give them attention and play!

Pet care experience

**Not taking bookings for Sept & Oct 2026** I’ve had cats my whole life, so I know all the ends and outs of cat care. From Skiddy Kitty (really, that was his name) to pampered, fluffy kitties to outdoor tomboys, my family has owned many different types of cats. Currently, I am a cat mom to a calico wild child (Calico owners, y’all know) and a handsome gray fluff-ball. I would love to take care of your cats, too! I will be there to feed, play with, pet, brush, clean up after, compliment, dote on, and hang out with your kitty when you can’t. My lap is always available for kitty cuddles! If your cat is shy or nervous - don’t worry! It is my highest priority to ensure every cat feels comfortable & safe while in my care. I have experience giving oral medication, injections, subcutaneous fluids, and ear cream medication to cats. I have experience with diabetic cats and have administered injectable insulin is a variety of ways. I would be more than happy to care for your kitty that needs these services. I also carry outside insurance for my pet sitting, for things not covered by the Rover Guarantee.

Abigail did a great job caring for my cats while I was away. She provided me with updates and very cute photos which eased my mind. She was accommodating to the multiple needs of my cats

Abigail took great care of my Taz! She updated me every visit and sent pictures. Taz was very content when we returned home after a week vacation.

Abigail is an amazing pet sitter! She took such good care of our cats. We looked forward to her daily updates, and the pictures that she took of the cats were not only super cute but also reassured us that our babies were safe and sound. She definitely has a way with cats, too, since our cats don't usually do well with strangers, but she earned their trust easily. We will definitely be hiring Abigail again!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
