Meet Storme
Storme brings over 10 years of experience in the funeral industry, where she worked as a Funeral Arranger, Director, and Manager. These roles shaped her calm, compassionate nature and her ability to support others during emotionally demanding situations. With a lifelong love of animals, transitioning into pet care felt like a natural next step.
Storme takes a gentle, thoughtful approach to every walk, paying close attention to each dog’s individual needs so they feel safe, relaxed, and engaged. She holds a professional Dog Walking Certification with the IMDT, is trained in pet first aid, and is continually expanding her skills through Dog Training College. With Storme, dogs receive more than exercise — they experience consistency, enrichment, and genuine care from someone who truly values their wellbeing.

Throughout her career, Abbey has trained and worked with a wide variety of animal species, giving her extensive practical experience in animal behaviour, handling, training and welfare.
