Availability

I am a current graduate student at U of M. The past three years while on Rover, I have had flexibility to work from home most days of the week, which has been wonderful for regular doggy day care. In winter 2023, I do need to go to campus three half-days a week, but all services are still available. I am still very committed to caring for your dogs with the time that I have! And my past clients can confirm my dedication. I am also always happy to schedule meet-and-greets now with sights set on house sitting or doggy day care further in the future. PLEASE CONTACT if you'd like to discuss my availability, **even if my calendar shows that I am unavailable**, as there may be some degree of flexibility.

Information Abigail K. would like to know about your pet

PLEASE READ: **I require a crate for all bookings** unless I have an established agreement with an existing client. This ensures your dog's safety should I have to leave the house during a stay. It also aids me in being respectful of my housemate. However, when I am home, your dog is free-roaming by my side through the house! No same-day bookings with new clients. Financial policy: I request a $5 late fee for pickups greater than 30min past scheduled time, unless a change in pickup time has been communicated more than 24 hours in advance. Thank you for your understanding.

A typical day

Playing in the backyard seems to be the favorite thing of every Rover dog I have hosted! There are lots of good sticks to fetch, or your dog can come over with their own favorite toy. Walking through West Park is another favorite activity.

Experienced foster loves long walks

Pet care experience

Prior to Rover, I volunteered as a dog foster for two years, caring for dogs in need on the way to their forever families. Fostering ranged from puppies (successfully leash and crate training them!) to older dogs (surgery recovery). Getting to incorporate a dog into my life for days to months at a time is always able to make me happier, and I think I make the dogs happier too-I love getting to bond and befriend dogs quickly which helps me meet their needs and make them more comfortable, faster! I've been on Rover for almost three years and it has been such a lovely way to make friends (human & dog) in the Ann Arbor community. I grew up with two black labs (sisters from the same litter!) and until I can get my own dog, I’d love to play, walk, and hang with yours!

Abigail helped us out in a pinch and was very nice to our elderly dog.

Abby is fantastic! She was wonderful with our anxious, nervous dog. Abby has a wonderful space and neighborhood - perfect for dogs! She gave Buddy a ton of attention and was very patient and nurturing. And she’s the best communicator!!!! She sent me updates and was very responsive when I had questions in advance. Highly recommend!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
