Zoo Biologist with a love for all fur babies
Pet care experience
With a degree in Zoo Biology my love for all animals stemmed from having pets growing up. Having completed courses in veterinary, behaviour and welfare you can ensure your fur babies are in the very best care. I ensure all animals I care for are treated with love, patience and respect, as well as lots of cuddles! Having had large breeds of dogs growing up along with a variety of other animals including, rabbits, horses and donkeys, I am happy to take on any of your fury friends. I understand the variation in caring for different breeds and ages and I am happy and confident in my ability to care for all to the highest standard. Some breeds I have been lucky enough to care for include Chihuahuas, Pugs and Pomeranians all the way up to Setters, Mastifs and Ridgebacks and just about every size in between. I have also cared for just adopted puppies all the way through our greyer, wiser looking friends. I am happy to take to puppy classes, vet appointments, grooming appointments etc as well as give any special requirements. I also understand it can be hard to not only leave your fur baby but also leave someone in your house so I come with plenty of recommendations and can put you in contact with some previous clients should you wish. I look forward to hearing from you.
Reviews
Chester had a lovely time with Abi who stayed in our house overnight. She is a friendly and caring young lady with a genuine love of animals. She was confident with Chester, played with him, walked him and sent photos and video pup dates! We came home to a very happy and content little boy and a clean, tidy house. Would definitely recommended. Thank you Abi. 😃
Abigail is great with dogs and is confident with all breeds, she walks my Setter on his own and occasionally with other dogs, with no worries. having worked in animal sanctuaries she has a great empathy and love for all animals.

Although I do not have the facilities to care for your pets in my own home I am happy and confident to care for your pets in your own home. I feel this creates less disturbance to their routine and allows them to feel happy and secure while you are away. This also means I am happy to care for the house while you are away such as watering plants, making sure the bins go out, feeding fish etc…

Please let me know if you have any special requirements ahead of time so I can ensure I am able to give the best care to your fur babies
A typical day
Each dogs needs will be reflected in the way I look after them during my stay. I love going on long walks and allowing dogs to exert their energy in the mornings and then allow for other stimulation during the day such as playing games, training and cuddle time. I base walking times on ages and breed, ensuring puppies and older dogs are not over walked and those that need that bit more time to explore are given so. Dogs that cannot be walked in which I have had a few cases due to working dogs, behavioural problems, or health have been given extra stimulation in the garden or at home, playing, training or working.

I am currently between jobs while trying to start my own business so I will be able to be at home with your pets as much as needed. I do pick up a few hours in a local pub however would ensure these do not exceed the hours required for your pet!
