Information Elke R. would like to know about your pet

I do require a meet & greet beforehand for new fur guests, to make sure that everything feels nice, comfortable and we can discuss details then.

A typical day

We own 2 Cavalier King Charles Spaniel if you are planning on boarding. Our day starts very early but by all means pets are welcome to sleep in. A basket full of toys (soft, hard, little, big, learning and squeaking something for anyone is always available, but can be put away. We don't allow pets in our bed's since its fully occupied with our 2 kids. 🤣

My pups enjoyed their time with Elke and her sweet. dogs. She's a great communicator and keeps in touch with pics and videos. Nice big fenced yard for playing! I never worry about the dogs when they are under Elke's care!

Elke did an amazing job taking care of my fur baby, Paco. She communicated constantly, making Paco feel secure and loved.

Elke is great with our Chachi when we both have to work long days :) having her picked up and exercised is such a big help and she’s so good with her, even though she is a bit of a rambunctious pup!!

Elke has been absolutely incredible with my dog, Mr. Brooks. He’s a pretty anxious guy and doesn’t warm up to people easily, but she was patient, calm, and really took the time to earn his trust. You can tell she genuinely understands dogs and meets them where they are. From the start, she kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me total peace of mind. Mr. Brooks looked relaxed, comfortable, and honestly happier than I expected given how nervous he can be in new situations. It’s not easy finding someone you trust with a dog like him, but Elke exceeded every expectation. If you have a pup who needs a little extra care and understanding, she’s the one for you.
