Hi. I'm Elsa.

I will be available to cover week days and weekends. I'm cover Rustington & the surrounding areas, including East Preston, Ferring, Angmering, Littlehampton and parts of Worthing.

I offer:

• Dog walking: 1 hour, Less than a hour, 1.5 hours, up to 2 hours per dog.

• Pet sitting (day and/or night): Feeding, walking, monitoring, etc.

• Short home visits for your pet(s): 1 - 3 hours and includes a walk (for dogs) if you wish.

• Half a day visits for your pet(s): ~ 4 hours and includes a walk (for dogs) if you wish.

• Cat care: Feeding, Litter box check, etc

• Other pet care: Feeding, monitoring, clean outs, etc.

I am happy to set up a free meet & Greet.

I send you daily updates via WhatsApp with photos of your pet(s).

Sadly, I can't care for pets in my own home. As I have live with other people and one of my dogs isn't very tolerant with other dogs in the house.

I would prefer to keep your dog on a lead at all times during walks unless told other wise. If a dog needs to be kept on a lead, I can use long line.

About me:

Ever since I was very young I have been interested in animals, especially dogs, and spend most of my time involved in learning about them, training them, or walking them for us or for others. It’s my ambition to earn a living by working with dogs. So much so, I took an 2 year course in Animal Management. Which involved basic vet nursing, (optional) dog grooming, animal behavioural, animal welfare and more. I even, as part of my external work for my course, I volunteered at a local doggy daycare called Daily Dogs Digs for 7 months. There, I manned the reception desk, greeted customers and anything else that needed doing. I also looked after the dogs in the centre, this included providing enriching walks, cleaning them and socialising them with others so as they would be better behaved when returned to their owners.

I started off volunteer dog walking since 2014 for people that I knew, where I had lived. It wasn't until 2018, when I was walking 5 dogs daily. I had two dogs that I walked everyday and 3 dogs that I walked every so often. But sadly in 2020, I had to stop due to the current time and also personal circumstances (I.e trying to buy and move into a house). Since then, I have missed it. It was only until this year (2023), that I want to pick it up again.
