Warm & Loving Pet Care

Pet care experience

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 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

Do let me know if your pet has any special needs or requirements or if you yourself have any preferences on how they should be cared for and I will absolutely do my best to suit.

A typical day

I enjoy getting a sense of the animal’s energy and adapting mine to match it. If your pet is active and excitable I am happy to play lots of fun games and activities with funny noises or take them on plenty of walks to keep them well stimulated. If they are older or just calm and subdued I am very content to create a relaxing atmosphere for them indoors with lots of petting and affection (unless of course they like their space).
