Full-time care and Fully Vaxed

Pet care experience

Life-long cat and dog lover. I have had dogs in my life ever since I was a baby! I started pet sitting/walking for neighbors and friends when I was twelve years old, and since then I have worked with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and ages. My aunt and uncle breed Labradors in New Jersey, and I've spent multiple summers with them caring for puppies and getting hands-on experience in recognizing and interpreting dog behaviors as well as how to keep them happy and healthy. I also have about 5 years of experience cat sitting and love spending time with them. As a pet sitter, my hope is to make sure each animal gets the custom care they require. Just like people, all animals are different! I would love to meet you and your dog or cat and help you feel more comfortable leaving your pet in someone else’s hands - I know how stressful that can be! Message me anytime if you have questions about my services/etc. Thanks for taking the time to look through my profile. I hope we’ll chat soon!

Trusted. Professional. Gentle If Abigail has your desired time slot open, BOOK IT NOW! Abigail took care of my beloved baby with the samel level of care and love that I do. She keeps me updated frequently, and went out of her way to make me and my kitten feel safe. If you feel even the tiny bit apprehensive with leaving your animal in someone else's care, Abigail is for you. I would not and will not hesitate to book her again.

Abigail has watched my cat twice and both times went great! She came before the first time to meet my cat and get acquainted with our place and routine, which made me feel very at ease when we left. During a longer stay, she brushed my cat and changed her litter and I came back to a clean home (and cat!). My cat is always happy with Abby and in a good mood when we return home.

Abigail was able to help us out with our pup in a pinch! She was very professional - provided updates when requested, and was flexible with timing. Our dog has separation anxiety, but when I got home he was happy and at ease. We would definitely work with her again!

Safety, trust & environment

I live alone with no animals, so your pet won't smell any competition. When I go to a client's home for a meet and greet I've found it helpful for them to have a list of ground rules (no walks after dark, off-limits places in or out of the home, furniture rules for the pets, etc.) so I can help maintain your pet's house rules and schedule for their comfort and yours! I send a photo update everyday unless otherwise specified, and I'm happy to keep in contact as much as you need to feel at ease.

Information Abigail H. would like to know about your pet

I find it helpful to know a dog's size and general temperament (shy, energetic, etc), and any special/unique instructions so that I can provide the best possible care for each individual dog.

A typical day

I'm happy to go on long walks or jogs with your dog if they need/enjoy lots of exercise. I love going out to parks around the city. I have experience leading large dogs and steering clear of whatever triggers your dog may have (other dogs, critters, children, etc.). Let me know if there's anything that makes your dog uncomfortable and we will avoid it!
