Highlights
Pet care experience
Your pet’s BFF while you’re away!
I have loved animals my whole life, and have owned hamsters, gerbils, guinea pigs, freshwater fish, dogs, and cats at various times in my life. I have extensive experience with shy and nervous dogs and know that introverted dogs can be just as big of lovebugs as their extroverted counterparts. Whether you’re looking for midday check ins, morning or evening walks or feeding, or even just some play or cuddle time for your furry companion, I’m the one to call!

Safety, trust & environment
I focus on one client at a time. You will never have to worry about your pets interacting with another person’s animals, especially if they’re on the shy side. I walk one dog at a time (unless you yourself own more than one dog), which I believe is safer both for me and for the dog. I take lots of photos and will keep you informed of our activities so you know exactly where your pets are and when.
Ratings and reviews
I can’t recommend Abby highly enough! She took care of my cat in the past, and she was incredibly caring, responsible, and trustworthy and I felt completely at ease knowing he was in her care. My older cat was recently diagnosed with diabetes, and I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to travel again because of his medical needs. He requires medication, so leaving him behind was a huge source of anxiety for me. He is also very shy and tends to hide from people, so I was especially worried about how he would react to someone else caring for him. Abby was so patient and gentle with him, and he really made significant progress with her. She was able to gain his trust enough to handle him and give him his medication, which was a huge relief for me. Managing a diabetic cat takes extra care and attention and Abby handled everything so well. If anything seemed off with him, she immediately notified me, stayed calm, and worked through the situation and even offered to come check on him again later in the evening to make sure he was okay. Knowing she was so attentive and willing to go the extra mile gave me so much peace of mind and allowed me to actually enjoy my trip without constantly worrying. She also took wonderful care of my kitten and gave her much needed extra playtime and attention, which I really appreciated. My kitten loved Abby’s visits and it was so nice knowing both of my cats were getting the individual care and attention they needed. She sent me daily detailed and hilarious updates with pictures and videos, which I absolutely loved. The updates made me feel connected to my cats while I was away and gave me plenty of laughs along the way. Abby truly goes above and beyond, and it’s clear that she genuinely loves animals. I’m so grateful to have someone I can trust with my cats. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a wonderful, compassionate pet sitter, and I will definitely be rebooking with her again.


I'm a bit of an anxious pet mom because one of my dogs is an energetic husky and the other is a highly reactive dog with a complicated medical history. Abby did an incredible job keeping me updated about how the dogs were doing while I was away, including sending loads of adorable photos. She went above and beyond giving my highly reactive little guy his inhaler twice a day; there are fewer than five people in the entire world that he actually likes and she is one of them. She did a wonderful job ensuring that my energetic husky got the activity and enrichment that she needed to be happy, that my little guy got his medication and cuddles, and that I felt secure the entire time I was gone knowing they were in excellent hands. I can't recommend Abby highly enough.


I couldn’t be happier w/ the detailed reports i get from Abigail after every walk. I work 12 hr shifts overnights, so the attention given to my Pancho takes any concern off my shoulders about his well being, stimulation and relief from accidents in the home.

This is the second time Abigail has taken great care of our kitties :)


Abigail is the BEST! She took amazing care of my cat, Oliver, while I was away. Her loving attention and thoughtful care went above and beyond. I especially appreciated her detailed (and hilarious) updates as they gave me much needed peace of mind while I was gone. It means the world to know that Oliver is not only safe, but also loved and understood, especially since he’s such a shy boy. She was reliable, warm, and completely understanding of his needs. I’m so grateful to have found her, and I’ll definitely be rebooking with her for my next trip.

Once again, Abigail took great care of my cat, providing detailed (and entertaining) notes and photos while I was away. 10 out of 10, would recommend.

Schedule
I work a day job from 3pm to 11:30pm, but animals are my passion. When I’m taking care of your pets, they are my entire focus and only priority. I’m available as early as 9am for one-off appointments, but willing to set earlier appointments for recurring clients. For afternoon appointments, my latest is currently 1:30pm.

- I am comfortable administering oral medications for cats and dogs, provided I can watch you do it once and take notes. I can handle reactive or anxious pets, but it helps a lot if you can explain ahead of time what sets them off, especially for taking dogs on walks, For cats, please let me know how they prefer to receive affection so I can respect their preferences and avoid accidentally irritating them.
