Hi, I am Ellie and I am a 28 year old professional working in marketing. I live in Richmond with my boyfriend Will and we have lived here for 2 years. I only spend 1 day a week in the office, so I am working from home the rest of the time and would love to offer day care for your furry family members. I am working from home all day (9am - 5:30pm with 1hr break at lunch) so your dog would not be left alone at all. Due to the size of the flat the maximum number of dogs I would care for at one time would be two. These two dogs would need to be from the same home so I wouldn’t mix dogs from different households unless both parties were happy with this and this had been agreed upfront. A little more about me - I was brought up in the Cotswolds around many animals including dogs. Over the years we have had a wide range of breeds from Labradors, West Highland White Terriors, Spaniels, a Wire Haired Dachshund and more recently a terrier and a cockapoo. Living in London I do miss being around animals, and especially dogs, which is a key reason for me offering dog daycare.

It is just Will (my boyfriend) and I that live in the flat. Our flat has a large gated communal garden requiring a key or code to enter. We also have a fair sized private decked balcony with a surrounding wall proving an additional secure outside space also. We are within a 10 min walk of Richmond park and would walk your dog there or along the river for 1 hr each day (if smaller walks are required this is possible too - do just let me know).

Our flat is very welcoming to dogs and yours are more than welcome to snuggle on the sofa or curl up on the end of the bed. I can administer any medication that you may need me to whilst your dog is with me. I can also feed your dog, but food would need to be provided. I spend most of the day working in the bedroom as I have my office set up there and it is also the room where we have lovely double doors opening out on to the balcony so it’s lovely and bright - dogs that have stayed with me in the past have loved to sunbathe here as it is a nice sun trap. They will have full roam of the flat and balcony all day and will, of course, be given lots of love and attention.
