About Abbey L.
Communication
Safety, trust & environment
I love to house sit and care for your animal in their environment! Depending on location and duration I can plan to stay with them overnight or just spend time during the days as needed. I have a reliable car for convenient transportation around the Hudson valley and have many house sit clients in Brooklyn where I used to live as well.
Information Abbey L. would like to know about your pet
No specific breed preference - any breed is welcome! I need to know: - How is their personality and demeanor? - Are they friendly or shy with new sitters? - Veterinarian info, health conditions and vaccine status - Care needs: What do they eat? How much and how often? Any allergies? - Is your pet trained? What commands do they know? - How does your dog behave on walks? Anything I should look out for? (common - reactivity to other dogs, picking up sticks, leash chewing. etc) - Any circumstance your dog has become reactive, aggressive or bitten anyone - How often your dog(s) typically needs to go on walks - Medication needs if applicable - Treats allowed - Where your dog / cat is used to sleeping - Toys they love
A typical day
When I take care of dogs, I love to walk and jog with them if the owner permits and is confident they will enjoy it. We will chat about their routine and I do my best to stick to what they are used to. I have done lots of dog training and am comfortable walking very excited pups with lots of energy. I’m familiar handling reactive dogs as well and can make sure they stay safe.

Friendly & Reliable Cat Lover
Cat care experience
I've had cats for my entire life! They're the best creatures and I love caring for them. I am familiar with all life stages. I've fostered kittens and helped nurse many of them back to health. I love sweet senior cats as well. I had a cat who was diabetic and had kidney disease, so I became an expert in administering insulin shots and giving fluids. I know how valuable it is to leave your fur babies in the best of hands when you're away. Especially if they require medicine, and I love providing that peace of mind for others. I absolutely adore animals and will treat yours like my own!
Reviews
Abbey has consistently been a great sitter. Takes care of the house, leaves it super clean, takes good care of the cat, and communicates frequently which we like. Thank you again!
Abbey stayed with Lambert for a week in our house and took care of everything. Abbey is *super* dependable, great communications, and an excellent caretaker for the cat and the house. We love having Abbey and we highly recommend working with her!
Abbey L. cancelled a booking 3 days before it was scheduled to begin.
Came home to happy kitties and a house just as tidy as we left it! Abbey was even kind enough to take care of a package that needed refrigeration while we were away.
