Highlights
Pet care experience
Gentle and reliable dog care
I’ve always had a natural connection with animals and have built both academic and hands-on experience caring for them. I studied Animal Welfare at college and university, which gave me a strong understanding of animal behaviour, wellbeing and responsible care. Alongside this, I worked part-time for five years with a lady who owned German Shepherds, where my duties included walking, grooming, feeding, giving medication, assisting with vet trips and supporting with training. I’ve also volunteered at a dog rescue sanctuary, cared for dogs for people I know, and currently help care for my sister’s dachshund, who I live with. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs and dogs with behavioural issues, and I use a calm, patient approach with positive reinforcement to help dogs feel safe, understood and encouraged. What sets me apart is that I take the time to get to know each dog’s individual routine, personality and needs, and I’ll care for them with the same reliability, affection and attention I would give my own.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Our dog walker, Abi, has been absolutely brilliant with Olly over the past five years, so kind, reliable, and clearly loves what she does. She always makes sure he’s happy and well looked after, and we really appreciate how attentive she is to his allergies, his age, and his medical needs.
I honestly couldn’t recommend Abigail more highly. From the moment we met, her calm and gentle nature put me completely at ease. She has such a natural understanding of dogs and their individual needs—it’s clear this isn’t just a job to her, it’s something she truly cares about. Nothing is ever too much bother for her. She’s incredibly accommodating and goes out of her way to make sure everything is just right, both for me and my dog. While I was away, I felt completely reassured knowing my dog was in such capable and caring hands. What really stood out was how well she tuned into my dog’s personality and routine. It’s not just about feeding and walking, she genuinely connected with him, and that makes all the difference. I came back to a happy, relaxed dog, which says everything. Abigail is reliable, kind, and someone you can fully trust. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again and would recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional care.
Abi’s been caring for our dog Teddi for many years now, when we go on holiday or just the odd day. He’s obsessed with her, as soon as he hears her name he’s waiting by the door like mad! She’s amazing with him, you can tell she really cares. Really glad we have her, would definitely recommend.
Abi is really reliable and great with my dog. He can sometimes show reactive resource guarding behaviour in the house, and she deals with it really well without escalating the situation. I really trust her judgement and feel completely comfortable leaving him in her care. She’s calm, attentive, and clearly experienced with dogs. I always know he’s in safe hands with her and would definitely recommend her.

Schedule
Pet care fits naturally into my routine as I’m currently looking to build this into regular, full-time work over time. At the moment, I’m starting gradually so I can make sure I give every dog my full attention, patience and consistency. My schedule is flexible, and I’m happy to discuss each dog’s routine, needs and timings to see what works best for everyone. I’d rather take on the right bookings and provide reliable, thoughtful care than overcommit.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
My home is calm, comfortable and dog-friendly, with a secure fenced garden for supervised outdoor time. I currently share the home with a friendly dachshund, so any boarding would only be offered after making sure both dogs are comfortable together. Introductions would always be handled carefully, and dogs would be supervised and given space to rest separately if needed. If another dog is better suited to being the only dog in the home, the dachshund can stay elsewhere during the booking, so I can keep the environment calm and suitable for each individual dog. I always follow owners’ instructions closely around feeding, walks, medication, routines and house rules, and I’ll make sure each dog feels safe, settled and cared for.
