Availability

I am a graduate student with a very flexible WFH schedule which allows for plenty of time to care for your pet :) I am available for overnight stays and am more likely to accept overnight stays that are 5 days or less just due to variability in my schedule!

Unfortunately, my current apartment doesn’t allow for more than one animal so I am not available to provide boarding for your pet. However, I am definitely available for visits and overnight stays for dogs and cats of any size or age. I am an avid rain-or-shine walker, runner and hiker with plenty of energy for playtime :)

Information Abigail R. would like to know about your pet

If you’re interested in scheduling an overnight stay I always like to know how long your pet is accustomed to being left home alone (eg. the length of a work day, 4 hours max, etc.) so that I can calibrate my schedule :)

A typical day

I love being outside no matter the weather—I love to run, walk, play in the snow, and am content to also take it slow and sit in the grass to admire a beautiful day :) I always love having a furry companion on my adventures

Pet care experience

From caring for energetic puppies to curmudgeonly geriatric cats, I am a passionate animal-lover with years of care experience including walking, overnight stays, play, catering to special dietary needs, grooming, administering medication, and dealing with incontinence. I would love to work with you and your pet!

Abigail was lovely to work with. She came over twice to review the details prior to my trip, which helped alleviate my concerns about leaving my pups. She is such a dog lover and knows how to approach dogs in such a gentle manner. I highly recommend and will be booking her again.
