About Elin

I'm an animal lover and ex-dog trainer who owns two rough collies myself. I am currently working on my own business from home so I have plenty of time to care for other animals. I used to have three dogs staying with me at a time plus my own while I studied full time on distance for 3 years so my dogs and I are very used to looking after other animals. I will walk the dogs twice per day and have plenty of play in the yard and cuddles. Your dog will feel like it is on holiday just as much as yourself!

My dogs are used to being in daycare with another pet sitter while I worked full-time so they are very experienced with different circumstances and they are also very well trained as I used to be a dog trainer and have done a lot of obedience and agility training.

I have been a professional pet sitter for 3 years (while I studied) but my experience with pet-sitting dogs for friends and family is over 15 years. I also have had my own dogs for 9 years. I care for my dogs as they are my babies so they are much loved and love having friends (other dogs) around.

I live with my husband and our 21-month-old toddler (plus our 2 fur babies) who will be home two days per week and on weekends or when he is sick so any dogs we welcome to our house need to be okay with children and a loud and constantly changing environment. I will always supervise other dogs with my child but I need to ensure the dogs that stay with us are experienced with this type of family dynamic or okay to be outside with my two dogs if it gets too much for them.

About the service that I offer:

  • Dog Boarding (2 extra dogs to stay over at night maximum, if you have three dogs yourself please let me know)
    • 2 dog walks per day (walks are 45min-1hour each depending on the pace of the dogs)
    • Play in the yard with ball and toys at least 30 min in the morning and 30 min in afternoon.
    • Dogs will have me around all the time (work from home), I might need to do daycare drop-offs or pick-ups which would be 20 min away from dogs, I am happy to bring dogs that can't be on their own in the car for this and any at home will be separated until my return.
    • The backyard is fully fenced and secure, dog door for dogs to access both inside and outside as they please (if dogs don't know or like the dog door I will of course let them in and out)
    • If your dog is staying overnight it will sleep inside and depending on what it is used to it will have the same at our house, usually, I have the dogs separated over night to ensure no play but if your dog doesn't like to be on its own it will sleep with us in our bedroom with or without our own dogs.
    • We love going to the beach so if your dog loves this we will definitely do some trips to the beach. I always wash dogs off after beach adventures.
    • If your dog requires extra training I will offer this (used to be a dog trainer)
    • I am also happy to assist with hair and teeth brushing or bathing/washing to make it easier for your day-to-day life at home.
    • I want you to let me know of any rules you have for your family member to ensure that we follow the same at my place.
    • Any concerns or questions please don't hesitate to ask me! :)
