Abigayle took great care of our little kitty! She was super communicative and flexible and worked super hard to win the trust of our cat :)

Booking Abby as a pet sitter was nothing short of a catastrophe. Abby is unprofessional, irresponsible, and neglectful. Do not book her under any circumstances. I booked Abby as an in house pet sitter for my 3 dogs and 1 cat for a trip I was taking to South Africa. She was booking other gigs at the same time as mine apparently, which had her ask me to hire an outside walker for three days of the first week - but we actually didn't get that far before she quit. She was hired as an in house pet sitter but didn't believe that means actually staying there. She didn't sleep there, she admitted to not even following the walking schedule then was shocked to find that my elderly dog had accidents in the house. I can count on one hand the amount of accidents all 3 of my dogs had in their adult life and yet when my emergency sitter came in to relieve her the entire house reeked of feces and urine, and was freezing cold as she had opened up all the windows and it was January, in Chicago. She cost me hundreds of dollars in replacing rugs that were damaged, and after she departed it was found a large pee stain that she allowed to sit on the floor which damaged the floor of my rental. If that wasn't bad enough, she caused so much stress to all three of my dogs that they were in a panic. All three of my dogs are regularly very chill and easy going. When my regular walker got there, my two girls were so stressed out they were barking, shaking and scared. But that was nothing compared to my elderly dog who was so stressed at being left alone for 3 days in an apartment that he hurt himself causing damage to his legs. He is improving but he is now going into physio therapy to fix the damage that Abby caused due to her neglect. She told me my dog was basically dying and that he had to go to the emergency vet. However that was not true. The vet there gave him anti diarrhea meds and said that otherwise he was fine. When she realized she was over her head, she quit. However she didn't even have the decency to tell me herself that she quit. I found out from Rover, and was halfway across the world without anything I could do. Thankfully my regular dog walker was able to step in and save the day. I have worked in the pet industry myself for many years - including as an in house pet sitter, dog walker, and boarding attendant among other positions. In all my years in the industry I have never encountered a sitter like this. I have also used many in house sitters over the years and my crew have never had a single problem. The most dangerous part is that had she not been dealing with an elderly dog who requires additional care, she would have gotten away with leaving them alone for 95% of the day for three weeks and I would have never known until I was back. And that breaks me. At the end of the day I am glad she flamed out so horrifically within days because this situation could have been much, much worse.

She took great care of all our babies :)

Great! She gave us update pictures everyday and took great care of our kitties.

Abigayle was extremely diligent in taking care of my cat, even when a winter storm hit. She was always willing to go above and beyond in keeping my cat healthy and communicated promptly whenever an obstacle came up.

Amazing momma to my cats while I was away. Easy to communicate with and genuinely cares about your pets. Would highly recommend
