Abigail can care for
Availability
I’m a college student home for the summer, giving me plenty of flexibility to care for your pets! Depending on the week, I’m available most times. I make it a priority to be fully present and attentive during my visits—whether that means playtime, check-ins, walks, or just giving your pet some extra love and cuddles. Your pet's comfort and routine are my top priority while you're away.

About Abigail K.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
In a client’s home, I always aim to keep pets comfortable by following their routine closely—feeding schedules, walk times, play habits, and any special instructions. I make sure they feel safe, loved, and not alone, whether I’m staying overnight or just dropping in. I clean up after them, keep their space tidy, and give lots of attention and affection. During walks, I focus on safety, stimulation, and making it fun for your pet! My goal is always to make your absence feel as stress-free as possible—for both you and your pet.
Information Abigail K. would like to know about your pet
It’s important for me to know your pet’s daily routine, energy level, personality, and any quirks or triggers. I’d also like to know about their health needs (medications, allergies, past injuries), how they are with other animals and people, and if they have any training or behavioral concerns I should be aware of. The more details you share, the better I can make your pet feel safe, happy, and cared for!
A typical day
I love keeping pets happy and stimulated with activities tailored to their personality! For playful pups, that means walks, fetch, tug-of-war, or backyard zoomies. For cuddly or low-energy pets, I’m all about chill time, gentle pets, and one-on-one attention. I also enjoy using enrichment toys, treat puzzles, or basic training games to keep their minds engaged. Whether it’s play, exercise, or snuggles, I make sure your pet feels loved and entertained

Lifelong Animal Lover Ready to Help
Pet care experience
I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life and currently have 7 pets of my own, including dogs, cats, and small animals. I’ve cared for a wide range of pets—dogs, cats, guinea pigs, fish, birds, and even reptiles and ferrets. I’ve worked at a pet store and volunteered at dog, cat, and rabbit shelters, giving me experience with pets of all temperaments, ages, and care needs. Whether it’s playtime, basic training, senior care, or administering meds, I’ve done it and I treat every pet like family.
Reviews
Abby was absolutely wonderful, and I highly recommend her! She provided excellent communication throughout the entire time she cared for our pets, keeping us updated and responding quickly whenever we had questions. She paid close attention to our pets’ individual needs and made sure they received the special care they required. She also handled a small unexpected issue without hesitation, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. On top of that, she was incredibly flexible and accommodating when weather caused us to adjust our schedule. It’s clear that Abby genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. We came home to happy, well-cared-for pets, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Thank you, Abby, for going above and beyond!
Our girls loved Abigail!!! She sent lots of pictures and updates which we loved! Can’t wait for her to come back in a month
