Information Abigail R. would like to know about your pet

I require that all dogs I sit for are up to date on their vaccinations. This helps ensure a safe and healthy environment for all pets involved. Please share information about their dietary preferences, any allergies, and any medications they may need. It’s also helpful to know their daily routine, including exercise habits and playtime preferences. Understanding their temperament will allow me to provide the best care, whether they’re energetic and social or more reserved and shy. Lastly, any specific behaviors, likes, or dislikes will help create a stress free environment for your furry friend. Your insights are valuable in making their stay enjoyable and tailored to their needs!

A typical day

As a dog sitter, my daily routine involves feeding the dogs, taking them for walks, ensuring they have fresh water, and providing companionship. I administer any necessary medications, clean up after them, and engage in play or exercise activities. Monitoring their well being and communicating with pet owners about their pets' behavior and any concerns is crucial.

I am back after taking a break to focus on working at the animal shelter and pursuing my bachelors degree in psychology. I have a lifetime of caring for animals has been my joy and passion and my connection with animals runs deep. What sets me apart is not just the extensive experience, but the genuine bond I form with each pet. Your pets aren't just in good hands, they're in caring ones.

We loved the set up Abigail had, to help our dogs feel more at home. She was very responsive giving regular updates on how they were doing. Our dogs were so comfortable and had a great time. We will absolutely be using her again in the future!

I needed last-minute care for my dog and Abigail was incredibly accommodating. She was not only pleasant to communicate with but also went above and beyond to ensure Willow felt comfortable and cared for. Thank you for making a stressful situation so much easier!
