Highlights
Pet care experience
Reliable Sitter, Shelter Experience
I've had plenty of experience when it comes to caring for dogs and cats. I am known for my calm energy, allowing even anxious pets or pets who typically are not friendly with humans to get well acquainted and settled in easily. I am confident to take care of multiple pets as well, with experience walking three dogs of the same household together. If your pet is up for it, I enjoy bringing them out for adventures in nature, going for longer walks or take them with me as I explore the outdoors - I’ve brought two sweet pups up for a hike in Cairngorms before, or taken another pup out for long walks along the Water of Leith (who can resist a good adventure?!). With lots of love to give, I've dog sit for my family, am a natural with animals and volunteered at animal rescues such as local SPCAs and a sanctuary with blind and deaf dogs. I have also fostered puppies, ministered medication and trained them simple commands like sit and paw. I spent countless hours at the local animal rescue as a kid with the animals and am comfortable caring for them. Would love to hear from you and meet more people around Whitley Bay (I've just moved here, but have had lots of sitting experience, starting in Stirling and Edinburgh!) Available for quick call or meet up if you'd like to see if I will be a good fit for your needs so that you can leave your pet in my care with peace of mind. I'd take time to know your pets' little behaviour quirks and would be open to follow any routine if you'd like. Some breeds I’ve taken care of include: Bigger dogs like Staffies, Huskies, Labradors, Collies, Greyhounds, Airedale Terrier, mixed breeds; mid sized dogs like Whippets, Vizslas and smaller dogs like Schnauzers, Chihuahuas or ShihTzus.

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
At yours, I will spend time with your pet, depending on their mood - whether they seem energetic to go for longer walks, or feeling more like staying at home for a grooming session. I will keep your pets' needs attuned and adapt accordingly or take care of them as per your instructions and routine. I will be sensitive to your pet's familiarity with me and build trust with your pet over time. I will make sure that safety for your pet will be of utmost priority especially when we go for walks, looking out for things in the environment that might be harmful and also be alert for other danger (eg. other dogs or cars). I pride myself in sending quality picture or message updates time to time so you can be assured that your pet is in safe hands!
Ratings and reviews
We booked Elsa pretty last minute to look after Ticky for our wedding!! Elsa was 10/10, providing great updates and taking the best care of Ticky, would recommend a thousand times over ❤️
Elsa looked after Dixie very well. We loved the photos she sent to keep us up to date with how the day went. Thanks so much Elsa 😊
There’s no better person to look after my cat than Elsa. She stayed at our home and took great care of both the place and the cat. Elsa provided frequent updates and photos. Amazing communication, and the best overall.
Elsa always does a wonderful job looking after our two cats. So lucky to have found her, she very proactive and the cats are always delighted to see her. Very reliable with great communication. Would highly recommend.
Elsa sent updates throughout her stay and nothing was too much trouble for her. Dogs seemed very calm and happy on our return, so obviously were not stressed by her presence. A perfect guest in our home and we'll certainly ask her again. 😊🙏🏻
Elsa took care of our cats very well. So well I think the cats were almost disappointed to see us back! She was very responsive to the cats needs and behaviours and her updates and photos were great. She also had no issue with giving medication for one of our cats. Elsa is a pleasure to deal with and would highly recommend to anyone.

Schedule
Rather flexible with fair notice time. Awaiting to begin a new role where I will be able to work from home 3 out of 5 weekdays, love having furry company on my adventures when I explore the outdoors. Also have a flexible and safe space to have your pet over for daycare. Absolutely love meeting new (pup and human) faces around the neighbourhood. Suitable for impromptu arrangements as well, do reach out!
