Highlights
Pet care experience
Your dog’s favourite loving and patient walker!
I’ve cared for dogs since I was 8, looking after our family dog daily. For the past two years, I’ve regularly cared for my boyfriend’s puppy, including solo walks, holidays together, and plenty daily walks, even on the beach! I truly love dogs and, after losing my own, I want to share that love by helping others care for theirs. I’m careful, attentive, and very aware of my surroundings on walks. I live close to many beautiful short and long walking routes in the lakes and have both a large, secure garden and a safely fenced courtyard for dogs.

Ratings and reviews
Our puppy had a wonderful time with Ruby! She settled in very well, was taken on walkies and barely noticed us turn up to pick her up. Ruby sent us some lovely photos to let us know how she was getting on. Thank you so much!
Ruby looked after our puppy, Twig, for a week last Summer. She took excellent care of Twig with plenty of walks and fun on the beach. It was lovely to receive daily updates from Ruby telling us what they had been up to together with lovely photographs of their time together. You couldn't leave your precious four legged friend with a more caring, attentive person and Ruby's love of dogs is plain to see! Thank you Ruby, we will certainly be calling upon you again soon.
Ruby has shown calm and loving care with a number of dogs including family dog for over 10 years. She is utterly reliable and trustworthy with everything from walks, overnight and longer term care and always aware of any medication or pet preferences. I have left her solely in charge numerous times and always been very pleased with the care given.

Schedule
I have a flexible part-time job and work self-employed two days a week, so my availability can often be adjusted. I’m available most weekday evenings and usually every other weekend and I’m always happy to work out what’s best for you and your dog.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I love spending time with dogs and making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I treat every dog as if they were my own and always prioritise trust, attention, and enjoyable walks! I will make sure things are easy and stress-free for both dogs and their owners :)
A typical day
I love playing fetch on walks and in the garden. When indoors, I often play hide and seek with the dogs I look after which all dogs seem to love! (as treats are involved). I make sure dogs get plenty of walks, playtime, and toys to keep them happy and stimulated.
