Hi! I’m Abbie and I live in Thakeham, West Sussex.

I have always had a passion for animals and the outdoors. I have years of experience caring for a variety of animals, ranging from small animals, such as gerbils, right through to larger animals such as sheep, alpacas, and horses. Family dogs have included Golden Retrievers and Spaniels, which both have a special place in my heart. Nevertheless, I love all breeds of dogs and have experience walking many rescue dogs from the RSPCA with very different personalities, breeds, and specific needs. I can tailor my services to suit your pet.

In addition to dog walking and pet visiting, I am a fully qualified and specialised NHS nurse. My nursing knowledge has greatly helped me understand the health of animals, which is extremely important during dog walks and pet visits. To ensure I have the necessary knowledge as well as experience, I have completed two certified dog walking courses, a practical dog first aid course, and a comprehensive canine body language course. I have also started to complete courses in dog training with the Institute of Modern Dog Trainers, of which my certificates can be found below.

I am a verified member of the Professional Dog Walkers Association, upholding their ethical working practices. I am fully insured, and DBS checked.

I will treat every animal in my care as if they were my own. If you feel I am the right fit for you and your pet, please get in touch!
