I am a student at Boston College living in Newton for the summer. I am currently taking classes and am a research intern which take up roughly 2-4 hours a day. I also work in downtown Boston on Monday's and Wednesday's between 9am-5pm. While I do not have a car, I am well versed in Boston public transportation. I am a very active person and would be happy to take your pups walking, running, and on hiking adventures!

Safety, trust & environment

For services in my home: I currently live with 1 roommate and do not have any pets. I am comfortable with short-term boarding (no longer than 4 weeks) for dogs and cats. I have an unfenced backyard but have close access to a fenced in dog-park. My apartment is on the second floor - a concern for older dogs who might have trouble with stairs. For services in client homes: I am able to stay in client homes & I am clean and quiet! I am happy to complete cleaning services or other house-sitting tasks along with caring for your dogs, cats, or small animals. I am also comfortable visiting client homes periodically, including multiple times a day if needed.

Pet care experience

I've have grown up surrounded by animals (2 dogs, 2 cats, and 2 brothers!). I have experience in short and long term dog & cat sitting. My most interesting sitting experience was watching 5 cats at once (the more the merrier)! I also have experience taking care of small animals including hamsters and guinea pigs. With my family, I have helped to foster and find the forever homes for 2 dogs, 1 adult cat, and 2 kittens! I have experience and am comfortable working with shy and nervous animals.

Abby has been our go-to cat sitter for several years. We have three cats who need to be fed twice a day and Abby has been 100% reliable every time we have been away. She feeds them, plays with them, and cleans their litter box during every visit. She also keeps us informed on how they are doing by sending us pictures and texts regularly. We highly recommend her! Your pet(s) will be in capable, loving hands.
