MEET THE TEAM
Claire B
Claire has been a part of our Animal Elves family since 2017 - originally actually a client herself, luckily for us she made the decision to join our crazy crew! The absolute expert on small animals, Claire is usually to be found either seeing to her many guinea pig / hamster / rat / budgie etc. (we could go on all day here) residents - though she takes time out of this busy schedule to take her favourite dogs for a wander or go and see to one of her many beloved feline clients. When not engaged in this busy lifestyle, Claire regularly coaches and plays hockey, plays Super Mum to her wonderful family (and to be honest, all of us as well!) and has a wicked sense of humour. To sum it up, she's just awesome.
Claire P
Claire started as a volunteer with Animal Elves at the beginning of 2016, after she returned home from travelling from lands afar. A few months later, she came onboard with us full time and we literally could not imagine life without her and don't know how we coped before her to be honest! For the past 10 years, Claire has been an incredible and integral member of our family here - as any of her clients, furry or human, can attest to she is unmatched in her dedication to her work, her determination to help everybody who needs help and her deep level of care and love for any creature lucky enough to come under her charge. She now runs her own branch of Animal Elves, where we've no doubt she will continue to grow and flourish to dizzying heights! Hip hip hooray for Claire!
James
We managed to pilfer James from his very successful nursery management career back in 2019, persuading him to change from childcare to care for something with generally more legs and fur! Since joining us, James has always been an amazingly calm and soothing presence on both clients and team members alike - his organisational and problem solving skills are unmatched, and in fact his handovers for any cover required with his clients have become somewhat legendary on our work group! No detail too small, no level of care too great, James is simply put a truly wonderful gentleman who seems to make even the most nervous of animals fall completely head over heels for him. He has been successfully running his own branch of Animal Elves since 2022, and James - we're so happy that we stole you away all those years and not even a little bit sorry. Not one little bit.
Alysa
Initially a client of ours, we tempted Alysa away from schools and children over to join our addictive animal ways in 2024! Always ready with a smile, and a pun (and then several more puns) Alysa is a sunny, energetic and very valued member of the Elf Family! Although a fairly new addition, it feels like she's always been with us. Renowned for her fantastic photography skills, and instantly fiercely adored by all furries under her care, get ready to see your pet's best side!

What People Say
Becky, Hersham (Twix - Rabbit)
"I feel incredibly lucky to have stumbled across Animal Elves back in 2016, they have always looked after my rabbit Twix without question (even when I have given Emily barely a few days notice!) Receiving updates and photos is a pleasant surprise and really puts your mind at rest as you know your pet is having a great time on their own holiday, Twix is so well looked after he often doesn't want to come home! Not only do Animal Elves provide fantastic customer service, but most importantly they genuinely care about your pets making sure they get enough exercise and attention. Myself and Twix could not recommend Animal Elves enough if we tried."
Katya, Weybridge (Bear - Labradoodle)
"Animal Elves have been caring for my Bear since he was just 3 months old. Animal Elves are the epitome of professionalism, kindness and care towards Bear. Bear is a very bouncy, hands on pup and I know he couldn't be in better hands. Communication is always super prompt and as I can be overly protective of Bear, the personalised care they offer in the ways of updates on how he has eaten, toilet breaks and fun had on the walks etc. are all extremely important to me."
