Pet care experience
DBS Checked Teacher & Dog Lover
Hi 👋🏼 I'm a qualified teacher with an active DBS check - bringing the same care, reliability, and responsibility I use in the classroom directly to pet care.🐾 I've grown up with dogs my entire life, with a special soft spot for Poodles and Labradoodles-from loving our family curly scruff Rolo from a young age, to caring for doodles and other breeds as an adult. I completely understand differing energy levels and loving, fun personalities! Whether your dog needs a high-energy walk, quick drop-in, or some extra TLC, you can relax knowing they are in safe, experienced, and fully background-checked hands. I offer frequent photo updates and clear communication so you never have to worry.

Abigail also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
Safety, security, and clear communication are my absolute top priorities. As a teacher, I hold an active DBS check and bring a high level of responsibility to every home I stay in. Since my husband and I can’t commit to owning our own dog just yet, your pet will receive 100% of our focus and love. I’ll always follow your exact routines for feeding, walking, and care to keep your dog comfortable, and I will send regular photo and video updates so you have complete peace of mind while away. We also babysit/child-mind/housesit, so are used to being around pets with young children too, and in different environments.
Ratings and reviews
Abby cat sat our two precious cats Simba and Nala over a long weekend. Abby is absolutely wonderful so caring and reliable and clearly has a genuine love for animals. We were completely reassured that our cats were in safe hands. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Abby to anyone looking for someone who is trustworthy and caring to look after their pets.
Abby looked after my dog Alan for a full week in Dover and I couldn't have asked for better care. She sent regular updates, kept to his routine, and he came home happy and settled. I'd trust her again without hesitation and would highly recommend her to any dog owner
I have known Abi for several years now, she babysits for my daughter (currently 11) and looks after our cat, Kitty Purry. Both are very fond of her! Kitty P is an anti social creature so befriending her is no mean feat! Abi is caring, reliable, kind and conscientious. She is also a lot of fun. Highly recommemd!
Abby looked after our two lurchers Luna and Lumi for the evening. She took great care of my pups feeding them dinner and taking them on a lovely walk in the local farmers fields. They snuggled with Abby on the sofa and looked right at home in the photos she sent keeping me updated throughout the evening. I felt confident leaving my pups in the care of Abby for however long I needed.
Abby is amazing with animals. She has walked our dog, Tommy, on quite a few occasions now and always takes such good care of him.
Hope this is okay. Feel free to change anything if you want to or add if I have missed anything. We couldn't recommend Abby enough to look after your dog or cat . We have never felt comfortable letting anyone walk or look after our German Shepherd except family members. Our shepherd is well behavoured but can be protective when he sees strangers or some dogs that are reactive, especially yappy small dogs. Abby was amazing.She came to the house on a couple of occasions to introduce herself to our dog.He is very big and can be scary but a gentle giant underneath.He took to Abby straight away.She took him for a walk with myself and then on her own on the next visit. On the walk, he was well behavoured, and Abby was able to control him. She is a kind, caring, responsible young lady. Abby moved into the house for a couple of nights, making sure our shepherd was relaxed and cared for in his own home. We also have a shy cat who also took to Abby straight away.She even came downstairs in the evening and spent time with Abby.This is not something she normally does with strangers. I would highly recommend Abby to walk and look after your dog or cat. She was so great that we asked her again to look after our shepherd and cat in their own home where they feel safe and comfortable.

Schedule
As a full-time secondary school dance teacher, I'm energetic, active, and used to being on my feet all day! My schedule allows me to offer walks and drop-in visits on some weekday mornings, most weekday evenings, and throughout the weekends. During school holidays and half-terms, I have full-time availability for house sitting and daytime pet care. My husband and I both adore dogs, so your pup will get plenty of attention, walks, and affection during evenings and weekends.
- Cats0 to 7 kg7 to 18 kg18 to 45 kgover 45 kgAbigail can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
- Please let me know about your pet’s typical daily routine, energy levels, and any specific quirks or preferences. It is helpful to know if your dog pulls on the lead, how they react around other dogs, or if they have any dietary restrictions or medical needs so I can give them the best possible care. The more info, the better!
