Pet care experience

Experienced and trustworthy dog lover

I am a 31-year-old dog lover living in Hertford, Hertfordshire, with my partner, who shares my love of dogs. I adore dogs of all sizes and breeds and have gained extensive experience growing up with boxers. One of our boxers was a rescue, which required me to adapt to her specific needs. This experience taught me valuable skills in patience, understanding, and tailored care.

We’ve used Abigail for the last month and can’t recommend her enough. She’s great at communicating and clearly loves being round animals, she was also very flexible when our plans had to change. Would use her services again. Thank you!

This was our first time using Rover and I can’t have asked for a better experience! Abi was happy to have multiple meet-ups before we booked her for a day visit. Will definitely be rebooking. Thanks again, Abi!

Abigail looks after maple so well! Maple now gets so excited on the way to Abigail’s house! Abigail is so friendly, keeps in contact always and is so responsive. Also she has taken some lovely photos of Maple having the best time. I would recommend her so highly to look after any of your pups or pets!

Thank you so much Abigail and James for taking such great care of Bella! Bella can be anxious but Abigail is very experienced and was incredibly understanding and accommodating of her needs and our requests. I felt completely confident leaving Bella in their care, Abigail let us know how she was doing and she had a very happy and relaxed stay! We feel very lucky to have found such kind people to look after her and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Abigail and James to anyone looking for a dog sitter, including those with anxious or reactive dogs :)

My current role only requires me to be in the office once a week, which gives me a great deal of flexibility and allows me to spend plenty of time at home caring for dogs and giving them lots of attention.

Before looking after your dog, it's essential to know the dog's dietary preferences, medical history, any allergies, and daily routine (i.e. walk times, number of walks, feeding times). Additionally, understanding their behavior around other dogs, preferred activities, and any specific instructions from the you is crucial for a positive experience.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
