Highlights
Pet care experience
Shawlands-based Animal Carer 🐾
Hello, I’m Abi. I’m a total animal lover and have proven experience caring for dogs & cats of all ages. I work from home and COMPLETELY understand how important it is to trust someone else with your baby. I am a very proud dog and cat mum myself, with a 17 year old Cat (Matilda) who enjoys sleeping on my wardrobe for around 23 hours a day, and a 5 year old Spaniel (George) who is the most loving and gentle dog ever. If you know Spaniels, then you know that I am active, alert, attentive and understanding. I’ve been through every age and stage from newborn puppy, to lead training, to meal management, crate training, obedience learning, recall - and most importantly: LOVE & CARE. My routine is my dogs routine, and nothing makes me happier. As someone who occassionally needs George cover, I get it. So if you need me for walkies, home visits, all day care at my house or overnight boarding - please get in touch. We live in gorgeous Shawlands in a beautiful ground floor tenement with a massive walled garden. We’re in the middle of Pollok Park and Queen’s Park so we really do live a dog’s life :)

Safety, trust & environment
My own dog has a fabulous routine and a wonderful life - so I get the focus required. He is great with other dogs and I would ensure your pet was treated amazingly, which may of course mean keeping them separate if that’s a preference. Chances are they’d be besties during their stay ;)
Ratings and reviews
Abigail was amazing and so was George. They made Nela feel so welcomed and I was very at ease knowing she’s in good hands when we are at work. We are looking forward to bringing Nela again for a day care soon!
Upbeat, knowledgable and easy going. Gave us confidence and certainty for looking after our very energetic border collie!
Abigail is a genuine animal lover and takes such amazing care of her own dog, George. Any pet would be very lucky to be looked after by her!

Schedule
I am fully home-based for work and have tons of time to enable walks and dedicated pet care every single day. No ask is too big, so just let me know what works best for you.
