Pet care is already part of my everyday life, so it fits easily into my routine. Since I’m both a dog mom and a cat mom, my days naturally include feeding, walks, playtime, and making sure everyone is comfortable and happy. I’m used to keeping a consistent schedule and paying attention to each pet’s needs, whether that’s extra exercise, quiet time, or a little extra care for seniors. Taking care of other pets feels natural to me because it’s something I already do daily and truly enjoy. I make sure every pet gets plenty of love, attention, and reliable care.

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I follow feeding schedules, walking routines, playtime, and any special instructions provided by the owner. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, affection, and exercise while also giving them space when they need quiet time. I keep their environment clean by refreshing water bowls, cleaning litter boxes, and tidying up after meals and play. For pets who need extra care, such as puppies, kittens, or seniors, I’m patient and attentive to their specific needs, including basic medication, frequent potty breaks, or extra comfort. Overall, my goal is to make pets feel safe, happy, and cared for just like they would at home.

Information Abigail Y. would like to know about your pet

provide the best care possible. This includes details about feeding schedules, walking routines, medications, allergies, behavior around other pets or people, favorite toys or activities, and anything that helps keep your dog comfortable and happy. Knowing things like fears, triggers, training cues, or special habits in advance allows me to make the experience safe, smooth, and stress-free for everyone. Open communication is really important to me, and I’m always happy to answer questions or go over any specific needs before care begins.

A typical day

I love keeping pets active, happy, and engaged while making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. With dogs, I enjoy going on walks, playing fetch, tug-of-war, and spending time outside for fresh air and exercise. I also enjoy working on basic training games with puppies to help reinforce good behavior in a fun way. For cats, I like playing with toys, laser pointers, and interactive games that keep them curious and active, along with plenty of cuddle and relaxation time if they enjoy affection. I always adjust activities to match each pet’s energy level, age, and personality, whether that means lots of playtime for energetic pets or calm companionship for seniors.

Pet care experience

Hi! I’m a dedicated and loving pet sitter who treats every animal as if they were my own. I am both a dog mom and a cat mom and love my animals dearly. I have gone through both the puppy and kitty phase all the way to senior care, so I understand the unique needs pets have at every stage of life. I have experience with high-energy puppies, gentle seniors, daily walks, feeding routines, litter box care, administering basic medications, and providing lots of love and attention. I’m patient, responsible, and attentive to each pet’s personality and comfort level. Whether your pet loves playtime, cuddles, or quiet companionship, I make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Your pets’ well-being is always my top priority, and I take pride in building trust with both animals and their owners.

AJ was immediately responsive to my inquiry. We had a great first meeting and set up a routine walk for my dog. She sent status updates and pictures. I really appreciate the attention she gave in making sure my dog was taken care of. Can't wait to use her service again in the future.

She’s the best dog walker! Very considerate of ozzy’s triggers (MEN!! trucks 😩) She took ozzy on adventures and gave me lots of detailed updates that I look forward to reading everyday. Thank you so much, Abigail! We’re gonna miss you… you’ve been such a great help and we appreciate you!
