Animal lover and enthusiast!

Pet care experience

From high school through college, I had a routine dog walking job as well as on and off house sitting positions. I worked on a farm so am comfortable with all kinds and temperaments of animals. I have lots of love to give and experience with many different breeds and ages of both dogs and cats. We just moved back to the east coast from Seattle. I have a background in social work and have a flexible schedule as I work remotely. My partner, Zack, may also help with pet care if we housesit. However, he works full time. He grew up with lots of pets and is also a big animal guy! I look forward to walking, playing with, and caring for your pet. I am happy to provide references. Why I love dog sitting I grew up with there always being a dog present and have so much love and respect for them. From their companionship, to their kind and loving demeanor, dogs make life more joyful. I also grew up with cats and appreciate the wide array of cat personalities. From cuddly and affectionate to curious and observant, I love them all! About my yard I live in an apartment building but can walk your pet in my neighborhood or bring them to walking trail if you are comfortable with that. My experience administering medication I am comfortable administering pills. I can also help with shots/injections and have experience administering insulin shots.

Abigail did a drop in for us when we had to be gone for the day. Everything went smoothly, my pets loved her and her husband. We will be hiring her again!

Abigail and Zack were great! They stayed with our dog for 3 nights and they were super communicative the whole time!

Abigail and Zack were amazing to work with! From the very beginning, we knew Kyoto would be in good hands. They were easy to communicate with, leaving us with daily updates and asking questions if they had any. Highly recommend!

I felt at ease with Abigail taking care of my cat for an entire month. She is knowledgeable about cat behaviors and knows how to make them feel comfortable.
