My Journey
I've always loved animals and rescued my first dog when I was 11 years old. I've always had family dogs, but also began to take care of friends and relatives pets too.
While training at Uni as a child psychologist my passion for animals truly began to flourish. I quickly realised social services wasn't for me, so one day I decided to set up my own business working with animals, to live my passion.
​
I decided to branch out to the local community, as I simply love being around four legged companions. I also wanted to provide an affordable and reliable service for other pet lovers
​
I put out an advert as a dog walker and the response was way more than I ever expected, it blew up and I've never looked back, striving continually to provide the best pet service around.
​
A few months later I got my Tiger and Lillie, a couple of cheeky Yorkshire terriers. It's when I came to go away for a weekend, I couldn't find anyone I trusted to look after them, it was all kennels or people that I didn't feel comfortable leaving my precious babies with, so I decided to expand the walking service into a day care and home boarding service too, where all dogs are seen and treated as one of my own.
​
I have affectionately become known as Auntie Elle to my clients best friends.
Fostering & Behavioural Training
Fast forward two years, I adopted Tod a 14 year old rescue from Romania. I was told he was medium in size and super friendly - he was large and very aggressive.
​
This is when I began to learn about behavioural training. I also didn't want anyone else to go through what I went through or for other dogs to suffer due to the lack of knowledge of their new owner.
​
Following this experience I began to foster dogs for charities abroad so I could make my own assessments ​and provide any subsequent training to help them become adoption ready. My involvement continues even after adoption to support the new owners with any additional behavioural training needs.
​
I've also taken in UK dogs for rehabilitation and re-homing without the support of a charity. Im passionate about our four legged friends and simply can not help them when help is needed.
