Highlights
Pet care experience
Your Pet’s New Best Friend!
I pride myself on being extremely flexible and accommodating. Whether you need last minute services, long term boarding, or group dog walks, I’m here to help. I’ve recently made the exciting decision to dedicate myself full-time to pet care. This means I’m not juggling a traditional 9-to-5 job and can fully focus on your pet’s needs, tailoring my schedule to fit yours. I own a ground-floor flat in central Guildford in walking distance from the town centre, making it convenient for pet care and accessible for clients in the area. I’m only an 8 mins walk away from Stoke Park for long walks and for quick toilet breaks, I have a park accessible within a 1 minute walk. I’ve built a strong reputation for exceptional pet care on platforms like TrustedHousesitters, earning over 20 real glowing reviews for my reliable, attentive, and compassionate approach. I have attached all these reviews on my profile in the photo section. I’ve had the opportunity to work with a wide range of dog breeds, from small miniature poodles to large Greek mountain dogs weighing over 55kg. I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life, growing up in a family that always had pets, including multiple dogs at a time. This experience taught me just how important pets are as members of a family and deepened my understanding of the love, care, and attention they deserve.

Ratings and reviews
I met Elliot for an introduction to Khaos ahead of a booking for some dog walking next month. He came back to me really quickly and was happy to have this initial meeting ahead of this, and was great getting this booked in, with continued excellent communication in the lead up to meeting. This will be the first time anyone other than myself would have walked Khaos as he is a large/strong dog with a playful personality, and having met Elliot I have full confidence that him and Khaos will get on really well and he'll have no issues handling him!!
It was really easy to communicate with Elliot and we felt very relaxed about leaving Ted with him. Elliot gave us plenty of information and was very thoughtful about following any instructions. Ted seemed to enjoy his walks with Elliot, jumping off the sofa to greet him when he heard his voice! We would definitely ask Elliot to walk Ted again.
We met Elliot for an initial meet and greet ahead of future dog sitting, it all went really well. He was friendly, chatty and took the time to get to know Keo properly, asking sensible questions and taking us out on a walk together. He seemed reliable and easy to chat to, and we’d be happy to use him in the future.
Elliot took care of our four month puppy for an evening. He is super professional and took good care of Fergus who was instantly at ease with him. He sent us regular updates and photos, which was really helpful. I would absolutely recommend Elliot, he is a great dog sitter!
Elliot took excellent care of my two dogs - a funny pair of one Weimeraner and one mini dachshund. He made sure they got plenty of adventures and even took them for a day at the beach. Will definitely ask Elliot to look after my duo again . Also house was so tidy when I got home . Thank you 😊
We had a great experience with Elliot! He looked after our two sausage dogs for a few hours, and they absolutely loved him. He was so kind and attentive, and kept us updated with lots of adorable pictures while we were out — such a nice touch! We have booked him again and would recommend 😊

Schedule
At 30 years old, I maintain an active and healthy lifestyle. I don’t smoke, and I rarely drink. I play sports 3-4 times a week and work out regularly, ensuring I have the energy and strength to keep up with even the most energetic dogs. Whether your pet needs a brisk run, a leisurely stroll, or some extra playtime, I’ll make sure they get exactly what they need.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I ensure every dog or cat I care for feels safe, happy, and loved, and I’m happy to adjust activities to align with their routine or specific needs.
A typical day
For active dogs, we’ll enjoy long walks in nature, games of fetch, or even jogs if they love to run. For more relaxed dogs, we can take gentle strolls and have quiet bonding time at home. Mental stimulation is just as important, so I’ll include fun activities like puzzle toys, training games, or even hide-and-seek to keep their minds sharp. Of course, cuddles, belly rubs, and lots of affection are always on the agenda! I’m happy to adjust activities to align with their routine or specific needs. For regular daily walking customers who book one-hour walks, five days a week, I’m happy to walk your first dog at my standard rate and include your second dog free of charge.
