Information Abigail S. would like to know about your pet

My resident dog Stella can be a little persistent when it comes to playing with other dogs. Let me know if yours would prefer to be left alone so I can make sure Stella respects boundaries.

A typical day

In addition to ample playtime with Stella (if they want that) we have lots of toys to share. I have snuffle mats and feeding puzzles if you dog would enjoy those. I love to play fetch and tug with the dogs and will ofncourse provide lots of walks.

Pet care experience

I love dogs and my girl Stella loves to make friends. Due to her play style Stella does best with small to medium dogs who also like to play. If your pup isn't into playing, we can always crate and rotate so everyone has a good experience. In addition to Stella, I have fostered more than 30 dogs over the past 8 years. I am extremely responsible and understand that our pets are family and I would treat them as such.

Incredible! From the first moment, I knew my pup was safe and loved on. Abigail consistently communicated how he was doing and sent pictures that made my day every day! I highly recommend her services. I have booked with Rover before, but this was by far the best experience.

This was our first time leaving our “Livi” with a sitter! Abigail was TERRIFIC!!! From the moment we met, we felt that Livi would be in good hands. She surpassed our expectations! She communicated frequently and sent pictures which moreover made us more comfortable. We highly recommend her and would not hesitate to use her in the future. Thanks again, Abigail!

Abigail was fantastic with our dogs, and a pleasure to work with overall. Very responsive, friendly, and reliable. The dogs loved her. Highly recommend booking with her.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
