Highlights
Pet care experience
1 household at a time 🐾 home care
Hi, I’m Elina 😊 I offer a calm, loving, home-from-home stay where your dog will be treated like part of the family. I only take one dog at a time (or occasionally two from the same home), so your dog gets lots of attention, affection, and a relaxed environment without the stress of multiple unfamiliar dogs. I’m at home throughout the day, so your dog is rarely left alone and will have plenty of company, cuddles, and supervision. We enjoy good daily walks, playtime, and a gentle routine to help your dog feel settled and happy. At home, dogs have access to a large, fully enclosed garden for safe outdoor time, as well as cosy indoor spaces to relax. They’re welcome on the furniture and can sleep wherever they feel most comfortable; whether that’s a dog bed or snuggled up in bed. Your dog will stay alongside my two friendly spaniels, who are used to having other dogs in their home. I always introduce dogs carefully and supervise to make sure everyone feels comfortable and settled. I know how important it is to leave your dog somewhere you trust, so I’ll always keep you updated with twice daily photos and messages for peace of mind 🐾 This setup is best suited to small to medium, sociable dogs who enjoy a home environment and being part of everyday life.

Ratings and reviews
Nero had a great time at Elina’s! Communication was excellent throughout, and we received lots of lovely photos of him enjoying himself. He came back very happy and very tired, which was definitely a good sign! Would highly recommend.
I can’t express enough in words how amazing Elina and her family were with our dog ‘Oreo’. We have never left Oreo with anyone other than family in over 5 years so I was naturally worried about him. I shouldn’t have worried as I think Oreo had a better holiday than we did! I had constant updates daily and numerous pictures and videos showing him having a wonderful time on daily walks, swimming, garden play and chilling with the family. I think if Oreo could talk he’d of asked to stay for longer! I can’t recommend this family enough and I would (and more importantly Oreo would) definitely book to stay with Elina and her family again. Treated my dog as part of the family with lots of love and cuddles. I can’t thank them enough. Rachel, Oreo and family xxx
I was really nervous about leaving Teddy, as I had never left him with anyone before, but from the very first meet and greet it was clear how relaxed and comfortable he was with Elina. Elina's set-up is perfect for dog care. She is based at home, has a beautiful big garden, two lovely, well-tempered dogs, and such a warm, welcoming family environment. Her young son clearly adores the dogs too, which made Teddy feel even more comfortable and settled. While I was away, Elina sent me updates and photos every morning and night, which really put my mind at ease while travelling. I genuinely looked forward to seeing what Teddy had been up to each day. When I collected him, it was so clear how relaxed and happy he had been. He was wandering around happily rather than clinging to me, which said everything. Elina will now always be my go-to for boarding or day care for Teddy. I honestly couldn't recommend her more.
Dougie had a wonderful time with Elina and her family and it was a true home from experience. I wouldn’t hesitate to send him again - wonderful! x
We have just been away for 8 days and entrusted our doggies with Elina and her beautiful Family and doggies. This is the longest I have the left the dogs for, and they have had their own amazing holiday staying with Elina. I really wouldn’t hesitate in recommending her for any of your dog sitting needs, Elina sends regular photos and updates, I feel so relaxed that they are being cared for, lots of lovely walks, play time in a secure field and garden time. Thank you Elina.
This is the second time my dogs have stayed with Elina and her gorgeous family, when she came to pick them up their tails were wagging like mad, and they were so pleased to see her. Elina sends me regular updates whilst we are away. They had a wonderful stay. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Elina..

Schedule
Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine as I’m home throughout the day. Looking after dogs is part of everyday life here, so guest dogs simply join us for walks, garden time, playtime and relaxed time at home, rather than being fitted around work hours.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I care for guest dogs in my home as if they were my own. Dogs are supervised throughout the day, introduced gently to my dogs, and cared for in a safe, welcoming and well-managed family home. I keep routines as familiar as possible so dogs can settle in their own time and feel comfortable. A meet and greet is always arranged beforehand to make sure everyone is happy and a good fit.

A typical day
A typical day starts with a nice long morning walk to burn off energy and enjoy some fresh air. We are lucky to have several beautiful walks nearby; Sandiway Quarry, Kennel Lane & Whitegate Way and Delamere Forest to name a few of our faves! Back at home, there’s time to relax with snoozing, cuddles and regular garden breaks for wees and playtime. We head out again in the early afternoon for another walk, followed by more relaxed time at home; pottering around, playing, resting and keeping each other company. These walks typically add up to a total of around two hours each day. In the early evening, we finish the day with a short walk and a calm wind-down, ready for a good night’s sleep.

- Before a booking, it’s important for me to know about your dog’s routine, exercise needs, feeding schedule and any medical or dietary requirements. I also ask about how your dog gets along with other dogs, their recall, and anything that helps them settle in a new home. A meet and greet is required so we can make sure everyone feels comfortable and happy together.
