About Abbie
I am a huge animal lover who has been traveling and working remotely overseas for a few years now. Though this makes for an exciting lifestyle, it's unfortunately too mobile to have pets of my own at the moment. I speak English, French, and Spanish (with minimal/broken German and Dutch).

I am a huge animal lover who has been traveling and working remotely overseas for a few years now. Though this makes for an exciting lifestyle, it's unfortunately too mobile to have pets of my own at the moment. I speak English, French, and Spanish (with minimal/broken German and Dutch).
Though officially based in Ireland, please note that I'm often back home in Canada/US and therefore equally likely to pet sit there as well, so feel free to contact me for specific dates.
A very clean and responsible person, I'm respectful of people's homes and privacy. Besides your pets being happy and well taken care of in your absence, you'll return to a home exactly the way you left it. I don't mind caring for a few plants, picking up the mail/post, etc. if need be. I'm also a non-smoker.
Why I want to house sit
Being away from home, I very much miss being around animal friends and love to change that. This website offers the perfect opportunity to see new places, comfortably and as a near-local, while enjoying taking care of others' beloved pets.
My experience
I grew up in the country surrounded by a slew of wonderful dogs, cats, horses, rabbits, and even an owl. I'm always happy to house sit for friends and family, cuddling with cats, walking dogs as far as they'll wander/run with me, and handing horses a carrot or two from the garden.
Previously a volunteer dog walker for the SPCA back home in Montreal, I'm comfortable with all sizes of dogs. I've experience medicating (orally - no needles) dogs, cats, and horses. And since joining this site, I've gained additional experience taking care of goats, hens, and indoor bunnies. New creature experiences are welcome.

We met with Abbie before we went on holiday so that we could introduce her to our scaredy-cats. Despite our information overload, Abbie very calmly looked after our 5 cats plus other cat visitors without any fuss and on our return we knew that, where others had failed, Abbie had managed to keep a calm house :) All our cats were cool, calm and collected! Not alone had she cat-sat but she also made sure that our house was spotless - it's always a treat to return to a house that has been treated like a home!

This was the second time Abbie minded our dog and house. As always perfect , complete peace of mind knowing that Abbie was looking after everything. No hesitation in recommending her again and again.

Abbie was my precious Kitties FIRST petsitter!! And she was totally awesome!!!! She made the 12 days easy and worry free for me...and I think my two Kitties barely missed me! She was a great communicator and very good at making sure everything was thought of that needed to be thought of and doing everything that needed to be done. I highly recommend her and hope you will feel very good about bringing her into your home and taking care of your precious critters.
