Hi, I'm Elaine! I'm a friendly, reliable, and patient dog minder with a lifelong love of animals. I grew up surrounded by pets—dogs, cats, and rabbits—and completed a Level 5 Animal Care course, giving me valuable knowledge of animal welfare and behaviour. 🐶 I have my own Miniature Schnauzer, Winnie, who is a friendly and happy girl, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your dog. Winnie loves to play with other dogs and really enjoys having dogs stay with us. 🏠 For home boarding and day care, due to my partners allergy, I'm currently only able to board hypoallergenic dogs that don't shed (they have hair rather than fur). This includes breeds such as Miniature Schnauzers, Poodles, Bichon Frisés, Maltese, Portuguese Water Dogs, and similar breeds. If you're unsure whether your dog would be suitable, please feel free to get in touch and I'd be happy to discuss it. I work self employed (about 15hrs a week) and mostly work from home online, some days I go to my office but I would just be gone for about 2 hours, so your dog wouldn't be home alone for long. 🐕‍🦺 I offer dog walking services tailored to your dog's individual needs, whether they enjoy a gentle stroll or a longer walk in the park. I'm experienced in giving oral medication if required and will always make sure your dog is safe, happy, and well cared for. I'll also send photo updates so you can see your dog having fun while you're away. I treat every dog as if they were my own and pride myself on being punctual, dependable, and caring. I look forward to meeting you and your dog!
