I have a large front room your dog can play and wander around, this leads into the kitchen for dinner times and flows out into a walled garden to keep your pet safe-no stairs to navigate! My low sofa is perfect for jumping on and relaxing in the sun when it’s here and my child is super respectful and calm in the presence of dogs.

Safe snuggly dogsitters looking to care for pets

Pet care experience

Growing up in my family home was like living aboard Noah’s arc. Amongst the rescued birds and ferrets, guinea pigs and chickens was a constant flow of canine companions some our own some our neighbours or work colleagues but all of them our furry friends. I’ve looked after many different breeds large and small taken high energy springer spaniels camping and old whippets walkies, I’ve snuggled pugs on my sofa and washed old English sheep dogs in the sea. I’ve had a broad experience of dog care and really look forward to meeting your pooch and making them feel welcome in my home.

Elka is fabulous and our dog Toby was very well looked after.

Elka was amazing. She did a great job looking after Willow, our 7 year old German Shepherd. On collection, it was obvious how comfortable Willow was with Elka, who kept us updated with photos during Willow's stay. Elka was very accomodating, from the meet and greet and drop off, to the collection, all with relatively short notice. We'd be delighted to use Elka's services again.

We are so happy with the care that Mollie receives when she stays with Elka. Elka is really attentive and caring and we would happily use her again and recommend her as a dog sitter/walker to others.

Elka has looked after our dog Lyra on a number of occasions, including for one week whilst we were on holiday. Lyra clearly has a great time as she gets very excited when we get to Elka’s house! She always gives Lyra plenty of exercise and takes her out and about with her. Elka’s communication is great, both in advance of the booking and whilst Lyra is with her. We will definitely continue to book Elka as Lyra is clearly well cared for.
