Love being around any animals!

Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 7. I always had a passion for taking care of animals. I grew up with two large dogs who needed constant physical activity so I prefer long walks. I have taken care of friends and families pets and do whatever is best for them, such as walks, bathe their pets and feed them.

This was the 2nd time we used Abby and she is wonderful! Rex stay at Abby's home where is was well taken care of. She took him to the local dog park everyday where he socialized with other dogs and people! He is only 10 months old and came from the shelter and tends to be timid, so this was great experience for him!! I highly recommend Abby! She truly loves my Rex!!

So happy I chose Abby as our rover sitter! We had planned a last minute weekend trip, and she was available and also stopped by beforehand for a meet and greet with our Frenchie Oscar. She was on time, followed exact instructions for his routine walk times, and kept us updated throughout the weekend. She is polite and responsible and took great care of our house as well. Would definitely have her stay again.

Abby did a wonderful job pet sitting my newly adopted 8 month old puppy. She is very trustworthy and great with my pup who is still very timid around strangers. She stayed at my house while we were away and kept me updated throughout the her stay by providing me pictures and text of what they were up to. I highly recommend her!

Abigail has loved every animal since she was a little girl. She grew up with three cats and two dogs and has loved each of them so much. She has been a dog/cat sitter in the past and loves to provide care to the animals as if they were her own. She gives all of her attention to the needs of the animal she is caring for. She is very responsible and can responsibly provide care to the animals she is caring for.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a small apartment so I wouldn’t mind spending the night at a clients home if that is a better option for them. I have a car so if a client needs to me let their pet out during the day I would be able to do that. If my client has a smaller dog or a calm dog it wouldn’t be a problem having them stay in my home. My apartment building has a fenced in dog park and safe quiet roads for walks.

Information Abigail H. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know the dogs behavior when we encounter other dogs on our walks. How the clients pet behaves when we are out such as pulling and they are unable to listen when it comes to demands. I don’t mind a crazy dog I just need to make sure that if something happens I am able to have control in the moment for the safety of the animal.

A typical day

Go for long walks or jogs. Playing fetch, going to a dog park if it’s okay with client. Going to a park where there is water if the clients pet knows how to swim. I love walking on paths and wooded areas.

I am currently a full time college student with a hectic schedule here and there, but I still have free time for pet care. I am available on weekends and my less chaotic days of the week would be Monday and Friday and most nights too.
