Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced, RSPCA trained sitter!
I have always had a great love of animals, particular the lovely canine and feline fur babies that inhabit so many peoples homes! Whilst the house I lived in growing up was unfortunately too small to keep a dog, I have done many dog walks for family friends and feel very comfortable around dogs of all breeds and sizes. I have had cats my whole life and still have an old boy now, called Chester. I have done over 25 sits and received five star reviews for them all (or positive feedback when sitting for friends and family). I have spent time volunteering at the RSPCA. This has given me a unique, first hand experience of working with dogs and cats, often who possess more challenging personalities and behavioral issues. I feel this has well prepared me for being a dog or cat sitter/walker for your fur baby! Whilst I cannot have the pets to my home, I am willing and able to walk your dogs or sit your house for you whilst you are away. I have very flexible hours and can work remotely so please let me know if you are interested. I live close to the Thames and Ray mill Island, Guards Park, Braywick Park, and am happy to drive your dog just a short way to get to lovely Pinkey's green park. If I am sitting at your house I am happy to travel to London or Berkshire / bucks. The nearest vet surgery is just 0.4 miles away, in case of emergency. Thanks!

Safety, trust & environment
I always start the day by feeding any pets I am sitting and giving them a check over - are their eyes bright, coat looking good, no limps etc. If they are staying I have a fenced garden and am also very happy to keep any fur babies inside for the duration of the sit. If I am dog walking I only go to approved parks by the owner and keep the dog on leash unless the owner requests off leash (in which case I avoid off leash activity anywhere near roads or busy parks).
Ratings and reviews
Elaine was honestly the best cat sitter I’ve ever had! She is incredibly kind, caring, and considerate. She kept me updated throughout my time away, sending me lots of lovely photos and videos of my cat. from eating and relaxing to going out and exploring on her leash. 🥰 She took such amazing care of my cat, and I came home to a super clean house and, most importantly, a very happy cat after 5 days. I honestly couldn’t recommend Elaine enough! Even my neighbours asked for her contact details after seeing how wonderfully she looked after my cat. That really says it all! Thank you, Elaine. You’re an absolute star! ❤️🐾
Elaine was great. I booked at short notice and Elaine made time to come an meet Luna beforehand. Luna loved her walks, it was great to receive a video while I was away!
