Availability
Pet care fits very easily into my daily and weekly routine, especially right now. I am currently on summer break, so I have a very flexible schedule and a lot of availability throughout the weekdays for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. I am available for consistent morning, midday, and afternoon visits, and I’m able to adjust my schedule based on each pet’s needs and routine. I enjoy having a structured but flexible day, so I can give pets the attention, care, and consistency they need while their owners are away.

About Abigail D.
Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their normal routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. I follow all instructions closely regarding feeding schedules, walks, crate time, medications, and any special care needs. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while also respecting their space and personality—whether they are playful and social or more shy and independent. I always ensure doors are secured, leashes are used safely, and the home is treated with respect and care. Safety and trust are very important to me, so I provide dependable communication and updates so owners feel at ease while they are away. My goal is to make sure pets feel safe, calm, and cared for in their own familiar environment.

A typical day
A typical day with pets starts by making sure they are comfortable, fed, and settled into their normal routine. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely so pets feel safe and familiar in their environment. For dogs, I usually include walks, potty breaks, and playtime throughout the day depending on their energy level and needs. I love giving dogs time to explore outside, whether that’s a neighborhood walk or safe playtime in a yard or dog-friendly space. If a dog is more relaxed, I also enjoy quiet companionship, belly rubs, and helping them feel calm and cared for. For cats and other pets, I focus on feeding, litter box care, and spending gentle time with them based on their personality—whether that means play with toys, brushing, or simply sitting with them so they don’t feel alone. My goal is always to make sure each pet feels safe, happy, and loved while their owner is away, and to keep their routine as consistent as possible.

Pet care experience
I have an almost 3-year-old English Cocker Spaniel named Ellanor, so caring for dogs is a big part of my everyday life. I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life, from small breeds like Shih Tzus to larger ones like English Springer Spaniels, Beagles, and other Cocker Spaniels. I really enjoy getting to know each dog’s personality and making them feel comfortable and cared for. I have also grown up with cats and other animals such as pigs, hamsters, rabbits, fish, and turtles, so I’m very comfortable caring for a wide variety of pets. In high school, I also dog sat for Great Danes, a Golden Retriever, and a Bloodhound, which taught me how to be confident and calm with dogs of all sizes. I currently work in a Pre-K classroom as an instructional assistant in Wake County. My previous teaching role was as an Emotional and Behavioral Support teacher for children with autism. That experience helped me develop a lot of patience, consistency, and attentiveness, which I bring to every pet I care for.

Reviews
Abigail is one of the most caring and dependable people I know. She treats every pet like family, always paying attention to their needs, routines, and comfort. She is responsible, patient, and genuinely enjoys spending time with animals. I would trust her completely with any pet and know they would be safe and well cared for in her hands.
