Safety, trust & environment

I do not have a yard so I like to take the dogs on multiple walks during the day for them to get their energy out and go to the bathroom. I live a few blocks from a park where I like to walk them to. I also like to go to local trails and walk them!

Information Abigail T. would like to know about your pet

Please make sure to let me know if your pets have any specific needs so I am able to make them comfortable in your absence. Even if it’s something as simple as making sure the blinds are open so they can people watch!

A typical day

I love to make sure your dogs are taken care of and having fun while you’re not there. I like to take them on walks to get their steps and sniffs in. While at home I like to cuddle with them (all dogs are lap dogs to me) or play fetch.

Pet care experience

I have been around and taking care of dogs my whole life. My family has had labs, King Charles Cavilers and rescue dogs. I also dog sit for a few families in the area when they need. I do drop in dog walking as well for when my friends have a long day at work.

Abby was amazing! She took great care of Goose and kept us updated with texts and pictures. She really made leaving our sweet girl so much easier by doing everything possible to make us and Goose comfortable. We will definitely request Abby again!

Had Abigail drop in on my cats for three days and she did great. I will definitely hire her again and would recommend her to anyone.

Abigail took great care of Cora while I was traveling. She was flexible and made sure to keep Cora moving and happy. She was a great communicator and kept me in the loop as needed!

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.
