Pet care experience

Experienced qualified pet sitter & animal lover

I've helped take care of animals since I was a little kid, from walking the dogs to feeding cats. Now as an adult I cat sit regularly and I'm currently entering my third year of university studying zoology with herpetology, I have a certificate in canine first aid and have experience administering topical and oral medications as well as wound cleaning and bandaging when necessary. I have two huskies at home one of them being a rescue, this combined with college and university education allows me to have a good understanding of training and I'm able to keep up routines while your away. I also provide regular picture updates so you know your pets are happy and well looked after.

Thank you Ruby for sitting for us! Our new rescue Maddox is really sensitive and we didn’t want to leave him at the kennels. Ruby looked after him and our two cats. All animals were looked after and comfortable. We are especially pleased that our rescue did very well, considering it was his first time without us looking after him. Ruby is really gifted, our animals like her a lot and I’m really happy we will be able to travel without stress knowing that she looks after our house and our pets.

I highly recommend Ruby! She was great with my large senior dog who needs medication every 8 hours. She provided many photos and regular updates.

Pleased and grateful to Ruby - making my first experience of having a dog sitter a positive one 😀 Ruby even took the dogs on daily adventures to our local dog park (zoomies) so they could have their usual off lead run around ! They looked like the had a brilliant time - would definitely have Ruby come and dog sit again x

Ruby was very accommodating after we needed to book last minute. Excellent communication and both doggies appeared calm and relaxed when being picked up

Safety, trust & environment

I follow clear instructions and make sure your pets are well supervised so maximize their safety and make their time away from you as stress free as possible. Picture updates are available through WhatsApp so you can see how your fur babies are doing while your away.

A typical day

Due to my background of education in animal management and zoology I know a lot about mental and physical enrichment a typical day would consist of a walk in a local park/trail and a couple of enrichment activities with appropriate owner approved treats, enrichment activities stimulate your dogs brain and keep them mentaly healthy 15 minutes of a good enrichment activity is the equivalent of an hour walk.

It is important to let me know of any allergies, special needs and behavioral problems so I can plan the day/walk to best suit your dogs needs. This allows us both to be safe and have fun. Known commands are also helpful to know so I can keep up any training.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
