Highlights
Pet care experience
Here for all your pet sitting needs!
I have always adored dogs and I've been taking care of them since my teenage years. My mum met an elderly lady, Sue, at a local library. She needed her dog, Penny, walking, and Mum suggested I helped her. I was 16 at the time and was saving up for a laptop. I had always loved dogs, but never thought about walking them. After a nervous cycle down the country roads and an awkward introduction, I was walking through a wheat field and I realised how peaceful it was. I cherished the experience and since that day, I have been helping with neighbours' dogs, whether that's house sitting them in their own home, walking them or just popping in for 30 minutes. My friend is a dog walker, so I would go for walks with her and I learnt a lot about handling from her too. Since moving to Lincoln with my husband, I haven't had much time to do that, and I don't know my neighbours as well, but I would love to start again and get the ball rolling. I have made a couple of dog walking friends, and we now have our own lovely puppy, Tonka. Training has been tough, so if you choose me to look after your pup, I will definitely keep up with their training as I know how hard it can be! Recently I looked after a friend's dogs in my own home and Tonka loved the experience, however, Archie (my cat) did not, so I would only look after dogs who are good with cats in my own home from now on.

Safety, trust & environment
I have a decent sized house with a fenced garden that has plenty of space for my lovely boy and your dog/s to make friends and play. My cat likes to try and join in too. I will respect the needs and wishes of your pets and always aspire to give them the love and care they deserve wherever I look after them.
Ratings and reviews
It was Abigail’s first time walking Korra tonight and safe to say Korra had the best time - she even got the zoomies! Can’t thank Abigail enough for taking time out of her Saturday night to walk our girl ☺️
Abigail was absolutely amazing with our Labrador Paddy over New Years Eve while we went to a wedding. She was super responsive and we felt very reassured by all the photos we were sent of their time together. She stayed in our house for us so Paddy wasn’t unsettled and she left everything perfectly tidy and neat. Thank you!
Abigail was friendly, professional and took great care of Woody! She always kept me updated and Woody had a great time with her. Would highly recommend 😊
Abigail looked after my Rottweiler called Ronnie , she was so kind and caring towards him whenever she done her drop in visits. Always treating him as her own, definitely recommend anyone to use her😌
Abi looked after my dog for a weekend while I was away and she was amazing. My dog instantly loved her and got on so well together. She had a long walk and plenty of cuddles and affection. So grateful to Abi and will trust her with my pup again, not having to worry at all!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Schedule
I'm currently between jobs. I am a teaching assistant, and I work with children with SEND. The child I was working with at my previous school was in year 6, so has moved on. I am currently looking for a new job, whether that's in school, in a care home or at someone's house as a nanny, so I have plenty of time on my hands to take care of people's pets.
