Highlights
Pet care experience
Home away from home for your dog
A lovely dog-friendly family home in the Clifton area to host your dog for daytime and overnight stays. With enclosed and dog-friendly garden and close proximity to the Downs, we have an ideal location. Plus with over 20 years experience of care for dogs, including raising two from puppies, I create a loving, fun but well trained and safe environment for dogs, with experience of small breeds up to large ones. As I work from home, and I have my own 7-year old labradoodle, visiting pets will never be lonely and will receive all the love and good care that we shower on our own. I’d be happy to meet with you ahead of a scheduled visit to show you our home and the care we provide. Do get in touch! Additional services: in home dog visits, local dog-walking and cat sitting care by Georgina (Year 10)

Ratings and reviews
Mabel had the best time with Elspeth. She was looked after beautifully and seemed to get a never ending amount of cuddles and good walks as well. I highly recommend Elspeth and am sure I will be using her again
Our excitable black lab was very happy with Elspeth for a week. We were concerned about how he'd be doing in the heatwave, but she gave us updates and plenty of reassurance that he was being kept happy and cool. He seemed very comfortable and chilled out when we came to collect him!
We left our dog for a week with Elspeth and she was clearly very well looked after! I had great communication with Elspeth and felt really comfortable with the whole set up. Cannot recommend enough
Another super stay with Elspeth for our two dogs. She is so warm and kind to them, they love their little holidays. Thank you Elspeth for looking after them so well 😀
Another lovely stay for our two dogs with Elspeth. She is always so welcoming and pleased to see them. One of our dogs was a bit poorly and she kept us up to date and looked after her well. Thank you Elspeth. See you soon no doubt!
Another great stay with Elspeth for our two beloved pooches. Elspeth is so kind and caring, making sure they get plenty of attention. Feedback from her is really good too. We know they are both in safe hands. Thanks Elspeth. See you again soon 🐾

Schedule
I work from home, so dogs are supervised and have company. We’ll also often go for our long walk first thing so dogs are nicely relaxed and tired during the day, with access to the garden throughout the day, and a shorter walk for a leg stretch mid-afternoon.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have an enclosed and dog-safe garden for bathroom breaks and a bit of play, lots of cosy spots for dogs to lie on, and space for a crate if that is what your dog needs.
