About Abigail S.

Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
When caring for a pet in an owner’s home, my first priority is maintaining a safe, calm, and familiar environment. I understand that pets feel most comfortable in their own space, so I make every effort to follow the owner’s routine closely — including feeding schedules, walk times, playtime, and any special instructions. Consistency helps reduce stress and keeps the pet feeling secure. I always ensure doors, gates, and windows are securely closed to prevent escapes, and I double-check locks before leaving the home. I keep harmful items such as cleaning products, small objects, or unsafe foods out of reach. During walks or outdoor time, I stay alert to surroundings and use secure leashes or harnesses as instructed. Cleanliness is also very important. I regularly clean food and water bowls, refresh water daily, and keep litter boxes or living areas tidy. This helps prevent illness and keeps the home environment healthy for the pet. I pay close attention to the pet’s behavior, appetite, and energy levels to quickly notice any changes that could signal stress or health concerns. If I observe anything unusual, I communicate promptly with the owner. Above all, I treat the owner’s home with respect and their pet with patience, kindness, and responsibility. My goal is to make the pet feel comfortable and cared for while giving the owner peace of mind knowing their home and companion are in safe, trustworthy hands.

Reliable, loving care for every fury bestfriend 🦮
Pet care experience
I have several years of hands-on experience caring for pets, primarily dogs, cats, birds and reptiles. I am passionate about providing attentive, reliable, and compassionate care! My experience includes feeding, walking, bathing, administering basic medications, cleaning living areas, and ensuring pets feel safe and comfortable in their environment. I have cared for pets of various breeds, sizes, and temperaments, including energetic puppies, senior dogs, and shy or anxious animals. Through these experiences, I have learned how to read animal behavior, respond calmly in stressful situations, and adjust care routines based on each pet’s specific needs. In addition to daily care, I understand the importance of maintaining consistent schedules, monitoring health changes, and communicating clearly with pet owners. I always prioritize safety, cleanliness, and the well-being of every animal in my care. Whether it’s ensuring proper portion sizes at feeding time or providing engaging exercise during walks, I approach every responsibility with patience and dedication. Pet care has strengthened my sense of responsibility, time management, and attention to detail. Most importantly, it has reinforced my belief that animals deserve kindness, respect, and dependable care at all times❤️

Reviews
Abigail was brilliant. Gave Jess lots of attention and was very reliable. We will be using Abigail in the future
I contacted Abby on Rover due to a very last-minute cancellation from another dog sitter, and she was incredibly reassuring and more than happy to help. I’m usually very sceptical about who I leave Tommy with due to his dog reactivity, and I made her aware of this beforehand—she came across as very experienced, understanding, and confident in handling his needs. She took Tommy to some beautiful places and was extremely respectful of my request to keep a safe distance between him and other dogs, which meant a lot to me. She kept me regularly updated, was always easy to contact, and clearly put a lot of care and attention into looking after him. It’s such a weight off my shoulders knowing I’ve found someone so capable and trustworthy who understands Tommy’s needs. I’ll definitely be using her again in the future!
Abigail came for a one off pop in visit. She bonded well with the hounds and was very affectionate towards them. She was punctual and good at responding to instructions. I would definitely book her again.
I have used this service for a year now and I highly recommend, polite, punctual and goes above and beyond for my pooch, lots of walks and pictures for reassurance, even recommended the food I now use for my dog Macy ! Will continue to use for another year, great price to !
