Pet care experience
Hello!!! My name is Abbey and I am 23 years old. I graduated from Drake University in May of 2021 with a degree in Environmental Science, Zoo Conservation Research, and Animal Behavior🌞😁 My family was always have at least one dog growing up. I have also dog sat since the age of 9 and worked at a Camp Bow Wow for 2 and a half years in Olathe, Kansas! In addition, I have also had 4 internships and two paid positions at the Blank Park Zoo working with a wide variety of species🥰 With my animal behavior studies and love for outside you can leave knowing your per(s) to be in great hands. I promise you will come home to a tired nugget!!
Reviews
I am so grateful that I got connected with Abbey!! She came to visit and meet Ozzie a few days before, and we all hit it off right from the start!! She is so sweet and had an instant connected with my lab! It was very evident how much she cares for animals. She is responsible and i felt completely at ease while I was out of town! I got several pictures and videos and it just made my day knowing my baby was taken care of!! I think he was probably sad when the weekend slumber party was over!! I will DEFINITELY always use Abbey in the future!!
As always she was amazing! Not only does she take great care of our doggies she left the sweetest surprise for us. Our Christmas trees is covered in our daughters home made ornaments and Abigail added to the tree with two home made ornaments that looked exactly like our dogs! We love how thoughtful she always is and the love she shows our dogs.
Abby was awesome! Our dogs loved her. She also did a quick look around the house to make sure nothing was out of sorts, checked for packages on the porch, fed the pups, and kenneled them up. She’s also a lovely person with an infectious smile! I strongly encourage you to hire Abby.
I have never know someone who truly loves animals as much as Abbey. She is so incredibly responsible and treats my animals as if they are her own. She sends pictures to me and goes out of her way to make sure the animals are comfortable and have everything they need! I would use Abbey to care for my animals every day if I could.
