I am a graduate student at MCV and would love to spend my free time walking dogs or hanging out in the house with cats. My class schedule varies depending on the day of the week, but I have my weekends free. I can go before and after class to take care of pets.

Safety, trust & environment

Since I do not currently have any pets of my own, I love spending time with other people’s pets! I have a lot of fun taking dogs for walks and playing with them in the yard or park. I like to see the playful side come out of cats, but respect the shy and timid nature in some cats too.

Information Abigail W. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any medications or any other needs that go beyond standard care. I am willing to meet beforehand and learn more about the pet and their environment.

A typical day

I love taking dogs on a walk or hike and playing with them outside. I meet the needs of the pets that I am sitting. If the cat I am sitting is more playful then I will play with their toys.

Abigail was excellent! Very communicative and sent us lots of pics. She also cleaned up our pets food bowls before leaving which she did not have to do at all. Above and beyond!

Abigail was amazing! I had so much anxiety about leaving our dogs for so long, but she provided daily updates and was always quick to respond. She was very adaptable when I realized I made a mistake with the booking. Also, she was very respectful while staying in our home. When we returned, it was just as clean as we left it. I would highly recommend Abigail to anyone, and would definitely book with her again. You can tell she just enjoys being around and caring for dogs.

We have a larger pit mix and smaller 15 year old dog who gets very sad while we are gone and requires some extra care. Abigail took such great care of them and I didn’t worry a bit while we were gone. Abigail sent pics, communicated well and left the house tidy. She is awesome!
