Highlights
Pet care experience
Exceptional and loving care for your pet!
Us: We're a couple from Australia, experiencing a different life in the UK. We absolutely love animals, especially dogs and the companionship that they give. We're dedicated to ensuring your pets happiness and comfort and providing enough attention, affection, exercise and stimulation that they need while you're away. We will also respectfully maintain your routine, rules and training. While we both have experice with animals from a young age, we have been professionally dog sitting in the UK since November 2024 and have had lots of experience with many different breeds, temperaments and of all ages. We can provide care in our home with pick up and drop off service if required (price to be arranged based on location). Or we can house sit in your home if that is more comfortable for your pets. We will maintain and take exceptional care of your home. Wherever it be, they will be provided with the best care we can possibly give! Danny: I grew up with dogs of friends and family. I have also looked after dogs for my friends and family over the years. I have experience with young puppies and have provided palative care when it was needed. Ruby: Animals are my passion, especially dogs! When I am in the presence of animals, I instantly light up and feel happier. I hold a certificate in Dog Psychology, Behaviour and Training. I am also currently studying Animal Health and Veterinary Care in which I will soon attain a first aid certificate. I have owned pets from a young age and was a dog owner for over 14 years. I have experience in extensive special care during injury recovery of dogs, palative care and puppy care. I have also provided care for many other animals, including wildlife. Our space: We live in Silverstone which is abundant with beautiful walks through fields and forests. We also have a large grass backyard that is fully fenced. Pets are welcome on our furniture and we will often allow them on the bed, though only if this is okay with you, as we don't like to encourage unwanted behaviours. We have hard floors throughout and stairs to enter, but we are always happy to carry them up if they are not fit for stairs. Thank you for considering us for special care of your pets! Please note: When leaving your pets in our care, please ensure the pets are recently washed and clean for their stay. Please provide bedding and food bowls that are clean and don't smell. While we love animals, the cleanliness of our home is very important to us and allowing them on our furniture is upon condition of them being clean. If your pets have any nuisance behaviours that may cause damage to our home, please book housesitting instead of boarding. Please ensure your pets are toilet trained (exemption of puppies in training) and specify if your pets need to be let out for the toilet more often than every two hours. We love caring for your pets, though we appreciate your respect of our home.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
We had such a lovely experience with Danny and Ruby and felt completely at ease leaving our dog and cat in their care. They were incredibly reliable and so kind and understanding when our plans changed unexpectedly due to the loss of another of our pets. Their flexibility and compassion really meant a lot to us during a difficult time. They sent loads of photo updates, which we absolutely loved, and it was clear our dog was having the best time with plenty of long, happy walks and lots of attention. It made being away so much easier knowing our pets and our house were so well cared for. They were always quick to respond, thoughtful in their communication, and just genuinely lovely to deal with. We’d happily book them again in a heartbeat and would recommend them without hesitation. We hope to see them again before too long - we think the dog might be pining!
I am so glad we found Ruby and Daniel. Parker has some separation anxiety but this is the second time we left her and she came home happy and exhausted from a great walk. She looked so happy in her pics, so I know she wasn’t just waiting around for us and actually had a full day of exploring and being cared for.
Fantastic. Parker was happy and well taken care of. Will definitely use Ruby and Daniel again when we need care.
Dani and Ruby are fantastic dog sitters! They provided plenty of entertainment and took my dog for walks. I knew my dog was in great hands with them, as they treated my dog like their own. They are definitely my first choice for dog sitting!
I have a very nervous dog, who is very anxious with strangers. I know my dog would have been very stressed, but it was a great relief to get home after a few days and see her looking well and even taking biscuits from Daniel. The cats were absolutely fine and didn't seem bothered that I was back home!! Thankyou Daniel. I don't like having to leave my pets, but when needs must, I would definitely ask Daniel first.
Absolutely amazing guys looked after molly and Emma. Sent lots of pictures and updates on how they where doing. Would definitely use them again.

Schedule
Ruby is studying from home so has plenty of flexible time to spend with your dog during the week. Danny is currently working full time hours on site, though can sometimes arrange work from home if needed. We are both present in the mornings, evenings and weekends in which we will spend all our time with your pets. We love walks and adventures amongst nature or just relaxing at home.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We have a large fully fenced, grass yard for dogs to play in, use the toilet and have a run around. We are also surrounded by large fields. It's also fine for dogs to play inside where it's cosy. Dogs are welcome on the furniture. We also have doors to every room if needing to be confined to any areas or away from the stairs. They are safe inside and there is no way for them to escape.
A typical day
Morning wake up snuggles. Toilet break followed by breakfast. Morning and afternoon walks, lots of play time inside and out with toys, adventures out and about and visits to dog friendly venues and parks, as we will always include them in whatever we do. Or we might even just kick back on the couch and relax. Routine dinner time, relax and unwind, toilet break and then get to bed. Special care will be tailored to your animal and your rules and routines maintained.
