Base access & adorer of beasties!

Pet care experience

Hi! I'm Ruaridh(Rory). I'm very new to this platform, but not new to pet care. I have air force base access. So if you're located on base no worries about sponsoring me on, I got a card so I can come and go easily while you're out of town! Annnnd like most pet sitters I adore animals & can’t wait to meet your beasties! I've been around all kinds of animals all of my life. From teeny bouncy boston terriers, to big loveable pibbles, and everything inbetween. We even had a red eared terrapin for a while! I'm studying to be a vet tech and dental hygeinist (hopefully for domesticated and possibly rescue animals too) so I have spare time to play, entertain, and cuddle your pet. Plus the option to study during down time while house sitting which works great for me and pet owners who need it! In my family we treat animals as our companions and like family themselves, I will treat your animal(s) the way I would want mine to be treated and respect your word when it comes to the care of your companion.

Second time I’ve used them as a sitter and will definitely be using them again! Always takes such good care of my pups and my house!

This is the first time I’ve left my dogs for a long period of time and Rory was amazing! She sent me constant updates and I feel like she treated my dogs like her own! So grateful!

They have always been so reliable when it comes to caring for my pets. All 4 of my animals always loves having R come visit them! They are always loved, cared for, and spoiled! I recommend R to anyone!

Rebekah has had a passion for caring for animals from an early age. She has shown herself an intelligent and thoughtful steward of cats and dogs, and other pets. She is attentive to their needs and takes great pleasure in their company, and that pleasure appears to be reciprocated.

Safety, trust & environment

I'm happy and comfortable around most breeds of dog, or cat, and I'll always have the safety of your furry companion at the front of my mind. Whether that means being mindful of animals that are a flight-risk when opening the front door, or sitting out with your pets when they're in your fenced in back yard to make sure they’re safe . I'm also comfortable dog walking, and never take risks with my beasties so I certainly won't with yours!

Information Ruaridh H. would like to know about your pet

Let me know their routine (when they like to go for walks, what time to let them out, food time etc), and any commands I should be aware of! Also how many treats they can have so I don't get puppy dog eyed into giving them too many! Let me know where they like to be touched so I don't cross any boundaries and your beastie doesn't get stressed, and which toys are their favourite! Please also let me know any training/things you prefer for your animals like clicker training, not fussing over them till fully in the home. Or if they’re allowed a small amount of ‘human food’ etc. Finally, please, please, please let me know if your animal is a flight risk. Do I need to squeeze out of a tiny gap and keep an eye on your cat/dog/reptile etc at all times when exiting the home so they don't escape? Cause I will, but ya gotta tell me first!

A typical day

I'm as happy to cuddle on the couch, or floor, with your pets as I will be to take them out for long walks and tucker the wee beasties (and myself) out. If there's a safe, enclosed back yard, and it has been agreed prior, I'm a sucker for playing fetch with dogs, or playing with cats. I have two of my own, so I'm fairly confident in my cat entertainment skills!
