Easy going animal lover
Pet care experience
I grew up with dogs and chickens and have always had a fondness for all animals. In my home I can host dogs of all sizes, as the house and garden are spacious and secure but I am happy to dog sit in your home if you'd prefer. Over the past few years I have gained even more professional dog walking and sitting experience, as well as for friends and family. I find caring for dogs very rewarding and always get such joy playing with them and seeing them make friends with other dogs on walks. As a freelance graphic designer and dog sitter I am very flexible with my time and generally work from home. I also understand that each dog will have their own needs and requirements and am happy to discuss them fully before meeting. I love the beach and the woods, especially when I have a pooch to join me for walks and forages. Based near Thomas A Becket, but if you prefer me to come to you this can be arranged, drop me a message to discuss how this can work. I am available for pet sitting, walking, drop-in visits and house sitting.

Elissa walked Obi for a couple of times the same week she took him for an overnight stay to get used to each other. Elissa is very communicative with lots of updates and took Obi out for lots of walks. We will be using Elissa again!
Jojo absolutely loved his stay and being spoilt with walks and attention! Thank you
Baloo had a lovely time with Elissa and is looking forward to future visits. Thank you Elissa for your care and attention to Baloo. It was lovely to see the photos and videos of his stay with you.
Elissa did a great job of looking after my two. Regular picture and message updates reassured me that they were happy and settled. They got the exercise they needed and lots of cuddles too! I have no doubt at all that they were contented, well-treated guests in Elissa’s home. Would defo book her again. ?

Safety, trust & environment
I always try to make each dog feel comfortable around me and in my home, as I know it can be stressful for them to be in new places with new people, and adjust my energy to suit theirs. I always ask owners what training they are working on with their dogs so that I can implement the same methods during our time together.

Information Elissa F. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your dog has any specific needs or requirements, my preference is to well tempered, friendly and house trained dogs, but understand puppies may still be in the process of training!
A typical day
I love playing with dogs, hide and seek is a particular favourite of mine (and theirs). Being a short drive to the beach and downs, it's perfect for the dogs to get a good run around and throw a ball (if they like playing fetch). For smaller or older dogs, we have plenty of quiet parks for more relaxed strolls. When the dogs are worn out, I'm happy for them to cuddle up on the sofa with me and have a snooze.
