How booking works
-
Step one
Message me
Text, email or Facebook. Tell me about your pet, where you live and what you need, and I'll get back to you as quickly as I can.
-
Step two
Your quote
I send you a price for what you've asked for, before we meet. Nobody's time gets wasted finding out we're miles apart on cost.
-
Step three
Your first meet, free
At your home, or somewhere public if you'd prefer, so you can see how I am with your pet before the first booking. Your first meeting is free; any after that are charged.

This was our first time using Ellie, and we have already tentatively booked her for our next one. Excellent communication both before and during the visits, photos on each visit and the place has been left immaculate. Our normally hesitant rescue cats took to her immediately - always a good sign for us!

Writing ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A review from Cori, Angus & Gizzy 🐾😻 We would like to officially confirm that Eliska has passed our very strict kitty inspection with flying colours! 😹 She is super professional, polite, well-mannered and, most importantly, knows exactly how to keep three demanding kitties happy! 😻😻😻 Our meals are served, our litter trays are taken care of, we get plenty of playtime, attention and grooming, and Eliska always makes sure all three of our individual needs are met. Basically, we’ve trained her very well! 😂🐾 Our Human Mum and Dad absolutely love receiving the Rover cards and photos after every visit — apparently they like checking up on us while they’re away. We, of course, are far too busy posing for the camera and enjoying all the attention! 📸😹 Eliska also goes above and beyond and is always very accommodating when our humans need to make adjustments to our visits. We feel completely happy and comfortable with her looking after us — although we may now be slightly disappointed when our humans come home and Eliska stops visiting! 😂❤️ 100% highly recommended by all three of us! 👌😁 Lots of purrs, head bumps & paw prints, Cori, Angus & Gizzy 😻🐾😻🐾😻❤️

Eliska looked after our 5 cats really well and even did some extra days for us when our circumstances changed at short notice. Would recommend her.

She was absolutely amazing with our cats. She is very kind, reliable, and clearly loves animals. I always feel completely at ease knowing they are in such good hands, and they were happy and well cared for when we got back.

Ellie was very good with my cats, and left everything clean when she left after each visit. The cats looked well when I came back, and Ellie even left them a little Christmas card and gift, as I was away over Christmas! I’d thoroughly recommend Eliska to look after your pets and home x

Absolutely brilliant, she spent time with my cats, even played with their toys with them sent daily photos of them enjoying their food and looking settled which is definite peace of mind. Will definitely have Eliska back to care care of our pets.
