About Abigail S.
Communication
Safety, trust & environment
I understand cats tend to be wary of newcomers, I built trust with offers of treats and slow outreaches of hand sniffs. The most important part is showing that I’m not a threat! I’d love to know your cat’s favorite toys, playing is a great way to build a friendship! Knowing how food motivated your pet is, is another way into their little hearts! I am patient when meeting new cats, I know they are much different from dogs and take time to build trust but I am determined to be a friendly fave in their home!
Information Abigail S. would like to know about your pet
- Personality traits, how cuddly or shy is your kitty - How do they like to play? - Instructions for scooping the litter box if needed - Where is their food? - How much food and how often? - Refreshing the water bowl
A typical day
Love getting in some physical activities with their favorite toy (even if it is just a piece of little trash), especially before bed time or after breakfast is when cats are usually the most playful! Other cats may just want some pets and cuddles, which I’m never opposed to! I will try my best to built trust with the shy kitties, but will respect boundaries. Just want them to be cared for and safe when their mom/dad returns home!

Cat care experience
I’ve cared for cats all my life and have been the go-to cat sitter for all my friends and family! I have advised many on bringing home their first pet cat, and even introducing two cats! I have such a love and respect for these pets, I would care for your cat as I would my own!
Reviews
Absolutely amazing sitter. She left detailed notes after every visit, sent pictures, and clearly put a lot of care and attention into checking on my cat. I really appreciated how communicative and thoughtful she was, it made being away so much less stressful. You can tell she genuinely cares about the pets she’s watching. Would absolutely book again!
Abigail did a great job with our cat! She kept us very well updated, and our cat was her normal playful self when we got home.
I can’t recommend Abigail enough! From the moment we first connected, it was clear that Abigail genuinely cares about every cat she looks after. She took the time to understand my cat’s personality, routines, and quirks, and she followed everything perfectly. What really stood out was her calm, gentle energy - my usually shy cat warmed up to her almost instantly! Abigail sent daily updates with photos and thoughtful notes that gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It felt like my cat was being cared for by a close friend :)
I have 3 cats and 2 of them with special needs. Abbey took care of them PHENOMENALLY. Litter boxes were pristine, the kitties were very well taken care of and interacted with. I loved the updates!!! Will definitely be using her again.
