Information Abigail M. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know if a dog is aggressive at all, any history of biting or lashing out. I would like to know if the dog is friendly to other dogs and people. I would like to know how well trained the dog is- on a leash? Does the dog listen? Have separation anxiety? Any weird quirks? I have no breed preferences. I love big dogs. I love small dogs. I love medium sized pups too.

A typical day

I love to walk everywhere! I love nature, finding remote places, hiking, we will walk to fun places together. We will walk to a field and play catch. We can walk to a dog park and socialize with other dogs, if that’s something you’re into, I am! Activities we could go pick out a new chew toy or find an outdoor park to go run around. Find something with water, if you like water of course.

Abby- Pet Lover Enthusiast!

Pet care experience

This is from a few years ago now, but everything still applies! I’ve been doing Rover for about 6 years, and watching people’s pets for over 10 years now. Hey there! My name is Abby, I am 30-years young and I absolutely adore all animals!!! My father is a self- proclaimed dog whisperer that is amazing with pets, and he taught me how to safely and successfully interact with dogs at a young age. Since I was a wee one, I have always had a natural ability with pets; they generally tend to be fond of me, dogs especially. I have had ample practice and training, with a wide variety of dogs over that past few years. I have been watching pets for eight years now! From the ages 22 -26, I worked at a school for at-risk girls. There all the faculty members seemed to have pets, and take all these trips! No one there had a reliable pet-sitter, for when they were out of town, so those families were forced to board their pets. So I’m talking to the school nurse one day, she’s newly single & has finished plans to start traveling the world. But she owns Harley, the yellow lab, who has recently aged immensely and is no longer well when boarded anymore. And There I was waiting & beyond ready to start my side-business as a dog-sitter. Harley, became my first client and more so my buddy, I watched him for 1 to 2 week periods, frequently, over the next 3 years. Then, the other staff members began to use my services, also. I had around 5-6 dogs that I would take care of on a regular basis. Whether that meant staying with them at their house, walking them multiple times a day, playing, and anything else that needed to be done! I have been doing Rover for almost two years, now, and am extremely confident in my skills! I look forward to any and all new clients. Feel free to ask me any questions and concerns any time! Abby Morgan Pet care fits so well into my routine, since this is my main source of income right now! I can easily spend as much time needed and wanted with your pet! I strive to care for each pet as if they were my own, so I enjoy fitting this into my routine. Feel free to ask me any questions! I treat pets like they are all my children! Every pet I watch earns a special place in my heart! I try to keep pets on their schedules- whatever they must be! Right now, I am not allowed to house pets, unfortunately, so I have to stay over at your home. I have been doing that for years, and honestly, it makes the job so much easier for all parties involved, because the pets are so much more comfortable in their own turf!

Abby took great care of our dog Colby. He had an injured paw, and she eased our minds that he was in great hands and kept it from getting further injured. Abby provided lots of picture updates, and gave our dog a lot of love.

Abby is absolutely wonderful! Our dog Gemma is a sweetheart, but she doesn’t always take to strangers. She took instantly to Abby, however, And clearly had a great time with her. They have a long stay coming up together soon, and I think they will both have a blast. Highly, highly recommended!

Abby has watched our dog a few times and has done an amazing job! She is caring, a good communicator, and takes great care of the house and yard as well! She always leaves the house as clean as we left it. Most importantly BB loves her. Our dog has some anxiety issues but is always so happy and stress free when Abby watches here. Abby is always our favorite dog sitter!
