Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I work full time, but I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate time before and after work, as well as on weekends, to caring for pets. I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals, so walks, playtime, feeding, and providing companionship are activities I genuinely look forward to. I make it a priority to be reliable, communicative, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs to ensure they feel comfortable and well cared for.

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure. I follow all instructions carefully regarding feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, and any special needs. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and supervision while keeping their environment clean and safe. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind while they're away. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, clean, and welcoming environment where pets can relax and feel at home. I ensure they have access to fresh water, regular potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and lots of affection. I pay close attention to each pet's personality and needs, whether they prefer active play or a quieter environment, and I treat every pet as if they were part of my own family.

Information Abigail U. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know about your pet’s temperament, daily routine, medical needs, vaccination status, and how they do with new people or other animals. I also appreciate knowing about any anxiety, special behaviors, or triggers so I can provide the best care possible.

A typical day

I love keeping pets engaged, active, and happy while they're in my care. Depending on their age, energy level, and personality, we might enjoy walks around the neighborhood, games of fetch, tug-of-war, interactive toys, or plenty of playtime and exercise. For pets who prefer a calmer pace, I'm happy to spend time cuddling, giving belly rubs, brushing, or simply providing companionship. I enjoy getting to know each pet's unique personality and making sure they have fun while feeling safe, comfortable, and loved.

Abigail took great care of Cinders and Pepper whole their owners were away for the weekend. She followed all care instructions, gave them their medications, and spent a good deal of time with them so they didn't get lonely. We'll definitely think of Abigail again for next time!
