Warm & Loving Pet Care

I have always adored all kinds of pets since being raised in an incredibly animal-friendly household. My family and I are big believers in animal rights meaning I have a nurturing attitude towards all creatures. I have owned/currently own mostly dogs, a cat, guinea pigs, a hamster, tortoises, a lizard, and birds. I petsit regularly for friends and family members for a small hourly rate, but one of my most notable experiences sitting for pets outside of my inner circle involved caring for 3 dogs, 2 cats and 2 litters of kittens in one house for 3 nights for a set fee - a time I got so much joy and variety out of! I was praised by the owners for going above and beyond what was expected of me, keeping the house clean and organised and providing all pets with a high standard of care and attention. More recently, I used to look after an adorable Mini Dachshund for entire days at a time while the owners were at work, taking him for adventurous walks and giving him lots of cuddles and playtime. Being around and bonding with animals has always felt natural to me and deeply warms my heart, and so I appreciate any opportunity to provide a service to pets in need of this. I take pride in fully respecting the pet's owners by following any instruction given to me to ensure the best quality care.

Ruby did a great job feeding, changing litter and giving medication to our cat. She sent daily reports and photos to keep us updated and was generally brilliant. Highly recommended.

Ruby was amazing with my two cats! Great communication, pictures and info on my cats. Went out of her way to get litter when it ran out. Really lovely person - trustworthy and highly professional! Would rebook anytime : ) thanks so much for taking such good care of my babies! x

Ruby is so caring with Howie, and really understands his needs. She communicates clearly and is always punctual. I would recommend Ruby to anyone :)

Ruby is a great dog/house sitter! She was so patient with our nervous rescue dog and it was the first time we had left her. Ruby looked

Ruby was spectacular! She took great care of Beemo and was flexible with our changing schedule. Came on short notice and set a great relaxed mood for our little man. Highly recommended

It was great having Ruby around. She took great care of Logan and kept everything super organised and in place! Not easy to take care of an 11 week year old lab so I was gladly impressed with Ruby!
