Abi

Hello furparents! I am Abi.

I am a Philippine-licensed veterinarian. Currently, I am working in a laboratory animal facility at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST). I previously worked at a small animal clinic in the Philippines and a dog-racing facility in Macau for several months. Prior to that, I also worked at a zoo facility in the Philippines for few years, working with a variety of exotic and zoo animals.

Since a child and while growing up, animals have always been a constant presence in my life. I consider every animal that came into my life as family. I am also blessed to grow up in an animal-loving family. We have had several pets since I was a child. We had dogs, cats, rabbits, goats, birds, pigs, chickens. Currently, we have 6 cats and 3 dogs. But all of them are in the Philippines, so I cannot spend as much time with them as I want to. When I learned from a friend about pawshake and petsitting, I decided to give it a try. This way, I can still bond with animals on my free time.

I offer home visits (one or two visits per day) or housesitting. With home visits, I usually stay a minimum of 1.5 hours per visit(do feeding, cleaning, playtime, or anything else needed). But may be longer for dog walking. For housesitting, I stay at the owners's house and accompany the pet/s overnight. I leave in the morning to go to my work and return to the owner's house in the evening. For both services, I always try to copy the routine of the owner with their pets to make every moment great for the animals.

Looking forward to meeting you and your furbabies!
