Hello, my name is Abbey! I’m a 21-year-old Marine Studies student with a passion for animals of all shapes and sizes. 🫶

I grew up on a farm and as a teenager I spent my time training horses alongside caring for cows, sheep, chickens, cats and dogs. At 18, I volunteered for a month at Animal Army, a rescue centre in Thailand specialising in street dogs and severe injury cases. I helped care for 60+ animals with a huge variety of backgrounds and needs, including daily feeding, exercise and administering medications. This gave me a lot of confidence in following individual routines and recognising when an animal may need extra patience or attention.

I have experience using horsemanship methods and working with anti-social and reactive behaviours in dogs, so I have an understanding of animal behaviour and feel comfortable around animals who may need a little more time. I’ve also gained further animal care experience while travelling, including caring for dogs, cats, rabbits and horses in rescue environments.

Outside of caring for animals, I love diving and walking and keep active regularly, so I’m more than happy to provide plenty of exercise and adventure for energetic dogs! I can do walks up to an hour if require, send regular photo updates and follow specific routines if needed.

Animals have always been a core part of my life, and I would be honoured to have the responsibility of caring for yours. 🐶
