Pet care experience
Hi I’m Abbie, I live with my little best friend Floyd, he’s a 1.5 yr old shih tzu. I will be offering dog walking, sitting, daycare and drop in visits. I do also accept cats. As a child I grew up with my best friend being my mams Staffy he was amazing. After he died it was mainly family pets I was around but this ranged from shih tzus and border collies to Alaskan malamutes, until 2009 I got my first dog. She was also an imperial but unlike Floyd was not friendly at all and was quite vicious so o have experience with dogs who aren’t the friendliest, but I still adored her and she passed a few years ago. Growing up I have been and many dogs and have loads of experience handling and walking these dogs, some have been strong and try pulling my arm off and others walk off their lead to my every command. I am aware all dogs have their own personality’s and I cannot wait to get to know the personalities I will meet during this. I have previously been bitten by a beagle whilst I volunteered at a local doggy daycare it was also whilst on my first day, this did nothing to my confidence if anything made me more confident around dogs and I also managed to befriend the dog that bit me. I walk all over with Floyd as it is so I feel like dog walking would suit me perfectly my 2 favourite things and starting my career as in the future I would love to do this as my own business. If you have any questions about the things I offer or anything else please don’t hesitate to get in touch and I will answer as soon as I can.
Reviews
I met Abbie a few years ago via a doggy day care centre where she was specialising in looking after unsocial dogs. Her dedication, patience, understanding and experience with animals was clear to see. She has looked after our fur baby ( a 3 year old Cocapoo ) over half a dozen times now and we will continue to use her as he genuinely gets ridiculously excited when he sees her. The fact that she lives by the beach and huge open, green parks has been advantageous in that our dog truly gets his very own holiday. Her connection with animals ( in particular dogs) is very apparent. This coupled with her common sense and attention to safety makes her our first choice for our dog.

Information Abbie O. would like to know about your pet
I would like to have a copy of the chip number and also an emergency contact to ensure there is someone contacted is an accident occurs. Info on any health issues or allergies. Ideally a meet and greet would be essential to get to know the dogs temperament and how they are with others. If they have any reactivity issues and how they walk on and off a lead again would like to see this during the meet and greet so I can ensure I have seen the dog in most situations so I can react accordingly and also ensure the highest level of care for your pet. If the dog is not friendly with others I can offer walks where there is no people about.
A typical day
Floyd loves adventuring, all the smells and the big open spaces to run annoy make him so smiley. When dog walking or sitting I will take the dogs to places they enjoy most, whether that’s the beach, the forest or a lake for a short swim. I don’t drive myself yet but my best friend does so we go to many country parks and forests which the dogs can accompany if allowed.
