Highlights
Pet care experience
Kind, Calm & Caring
I’m based mainly in Cardiff, and spend most of the holidays in Pembrokeshire. I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, mostly rescues and larger breeds, and I’m confident around dogs of all shapes, sizes and temperaments. I have experience with dog walking, sitting and overnight stays, as well as caring for puppies, and I’m comfortable with basic training and different routines. I particularly enjoy getting to know dogs who need a little extra time and patience to feel comfortable. I also have experience with senior dogs. My family dog lived to 15 with Cushing’s disease and struggled with her back legs, so I understand the extra care and patience older dogs may need. I’m happy to adapt walks, routines and care to suit each dog’s individual needs, and will always treat them as my own.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
Your dog’s safety and comfort are my priority. I’m happy to follow their usual routines, including feeding, walking, sleeping and medication, and I’m comfortable caring for nervous dogs or those with individual behavioural quirks. I take walks one dog at a time, unless dogs are from the same household or you specifically ask otherwise, and I always make sure collars/harnesses are secure and follow your instructions around leads and off-lead walking. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you know how your dog is getting on while you’re away. I have a full, clean driving licence and am able to drive to a vet in an emergency if needed. I’m currently working towards a dog first aid qualification and will always prioritise making sure your dog feels safe, settled and cared for.
Ratings and reviews
Abi was able to help drop in on our puppy last minute and was amazing with her. Her communication was fantastic and she filled us with confidence. We will happily use her services again and are very happy.
Abigail was amazing! We had to leave for our trip early, unfortunately so didn’t get to meet but received regular updates and pics of her many walks with our two big dogs (one is 5, one is 15 which is never easy!). Our retriever had obviously been pampered into a proper fluffy monster and both dogs seemed very happy on our return. House was left immaculate. Thanks Abigail! Will most certainly be rebooking again soon.
Abi was absolutely fantastic taking care of Mia! Communication was seamless, and the regular updates and photo check-ins gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. Everything was kept spotlessly clean, including Mia’s litter box and feeding area, and Mia was clearly happy and well-loved the entire time. immediately rebooked Abi for my next trip. I can't recommend her highly enough!
Abi is an absolute sweetheart! Felt super comfortable leaving Leo with her, and he was a very happy boy when I got home. Would highly recommend, and will definitely be booking in future! Thanks Abi! 🫶
Abigail was great! She turned up on time and kept us informed during the dog walk. Our dog Obi had a great time and really enjoyed the walk. Would definitely recommend Abigail and will be booking with her again!
Abi is amazing with my 2 spaniels and they adore her. So happy we found her and we feel completely comfortable leaving them in her care. She is certainly a natural around dogs and clearly cares about animals. Thank you so much

Schedule
I’m starting my Master’s in September, with lectures on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday mornings/afternoons, but I’m otherwise very flexible. I’m generally available for walks and drop-ins from around 7am onwards, with weekends usually free. I’m also available for overnight stays and can work around my university schedule where needed.
- Cats0 to 7 kg7 to 18 kg18 to 45 kgover 45 kgabigail can host up to 10 drop-ins per day
- I’d love to know as much as possible about your dog’s personality, routine and individual needs so I can make them feel comfortable and settled in my care. Please let me know about their usual routine, feeding and toilet habits, house rules, dietary requirements, medication, and anything they particularly enjoy. It’s also really helpful to know about any nervousness, behavioural quirks, triggers, fears or things they may be uncomfortable with, as well as how they are around other dogs and people. The more I know beforehand, the better I can tailor their care and make sure they’re happy, comfortable and stress free.
