Highlights
Pet care experience
W2 DOG CARE + WALKS
I have lived with and adored dogs my whole life since being a baby, I have 6 years direct dog care experience including two years as a professional dog walker, walking up to 10 dogs per time on a daily basis whilst providing over night dog boarding at my home in Hampstead village. I want to hear all of your dog’s preference's and any special requests you have so I can provide personalised care and make them feel at home as much as possible. I live without pets at my home in central London, with immediate access to Hyde park/ Kensington Gardens where I walk twice daily. I work from home and your dog will be right by my side throughout the day, I chat to my dogs and take regular breaks from my desk. All walks will be on lead, unless otherwise arranged. I have in total 4 family dogs of varied sizes and temperaments, they live with my parents - so rest assured as your doggie does not have to share a space or be compatible with the gang I list below. Suki - a 4 year old rescue Saluki / Greyhound mix from Battersea dog home with many trauma triggers. She is introverted, nonchalant, strikingly beautiful with a very funny streak! Blue- a 1 year old ex farmers pup mix He is an energetic 24/7, amazing with kids and a total lover boy. Ripley and Jones - 2 x 8 years old brothers from a breeder- Bedlington terrier + whippet mix. Both with completely opposite personalities to each other and ever evolving in their senior years. Your dog will come with me if I need to run an errand / get coffee / leave the house. (Unless you prefer otherwise) I go to the gym for approx 1.5 hours daily so your beloved doggie will have to be ok for these 1-2 hours alone time. My apartment has a fenced secure garden and balcony with solid wall and floor (no gaps). I can provide photos of my home on booking and will of course keep you updated on the daily with doggie photos! Please do not hesitate to ask me any questions you may have.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Abigail has looked after my pair of very precious 9 year old lurcher dogs several times now. They only usually are completely comfortable with my wife and I but now Abigail has joined the trusted circle. She must have hypnotized them as they are always so happy to see her, they must know what a good soul she is.
I feel very lucky to have found Abigail. Looking after a lively Collie cross isn't always easy, but she has built such a lovely relationship with him that he gets genuinely excited every time he sees her. Abigail is kind, dependable and completely trustworthy so I can relax knowing he's happy, well exercised and getting lots of attention. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Abigail to anyone looking for a dog walker or sitter. She is reliable, caring and fantastic with dogs, and I honestly couldn't ask for anyone better.
Abigail grew up in a household with dogs, and she has always loved animals, particulary dogs and cats. She is kind, caring and responsible towards animals and can be relied on to do the right thing. She has got experience of dog minding, and loved it. She is very good at adapting her care to the individual animal and is confident enough to manage dogs with different temperaments, eg our dog can be quite reactive and I can rely on her to take charge of her.
