As obssssed with your pets as you are

Pet care experience

I'm 22, a total dog enthusiast, and the proud owner of a 62kg (no typo!) Great Dane puppy named Dobey.🐶 Trust me, I'm no stranger to boisterous big pups and know exactly how to handle their boundless energy (and slobbery kisses!).💗 I've been surrounded by all kinds of pups since I was a kid, from tiny terriers to gentle giants. Senior dogs? No problem! 🐕 My love for dogs knows no size or age limit. Safety first! That's why most of my walks and visits are with my partner. Two sets of eyes and ears mean we can keep a close watch on all the furry fun, especially when it comes to potential doggy drama. 🐾Speaking of fun, I live for long walks! My own gentle giant often joins in the adventure, but if your pup prefers a solo stroll, that's pawfectly fine too. 🐕‍🦺Training tips? I got you! I've got experience training my own pup and have been learning from the best dog trainers for a while now. So, whether it's basic commands or mastering those elusive fetch skills, I'm here to help. 🙋And of course, every pup gets a meet-and-greet before the adventure begins! It's all about making sure they feel comfy and excited about their pawsome time with me. So, what are you waiting for? Let's give your furry friend an unforgettable tail-wagging experience! Just check out my Rover profile for more info and pics of my adorable sidekick. Can't wait to meet your pup! P.S. Did I mention I give the best belly rubs?

Rue & James were both lovely, they kept us updated throughout with messages and pictures of Thanos, which was great for our peace of minds. Thanos can be a scaredy cat, so it was so nice to see how his friendship with Rue was progressing and seeing him more relaxed with her by end of the week. I'd definitely recommend them both and I'll be booking them to look after Thanos, next time we're away.

Thank you so much Rue and James. An amazing service, lovely people, and one happy doggy. We loved that you were really responsive and sent regular updates, meaning we could relax on our holiday, knowing he was being looked after.

Rue and her partner did an excellent job of looking after our dog. Our dog is medium/large Whippador and they looked after her at their house for over a month. We were posted abroad before our dog could be transported to us. Rue went above and beyond, by taking our dog to her Vet to get her medical clearance and insurance to travel across Europe. Rue also met and delivered our dog to the dog transport company. Rue and her partner were very calm and kind to our dog during her stay with them and from the videos and photos Rue regularly sent we could see our dog was very happy with them and felt like she was home away from home. Rue and her partner also helped to train our dog with better lead walking and accommodated with her separation anxiety. They were both excellent and I would highly recommend them to look after your pet as ‘holiday pet parents’.

Safety, trust & environment

Safety First: Pre-pawty meet-and-greet: Every pup deserves a comfy intro! I always let dogs get a good sense of who I am and how i'm here to go on walks and all good things so the next time theyre with me its all about enjoying themselves. Leash & harness check: Double-checking gear beforeis key! Your pup's safety is my top priority. Environmental eagle eye: From traffic to squirrels and even other dogs, I keep watchful eyes peeled for any drama -making moments. Joyful Adventures: Personalized playtime: Fetch in the park? Snuggles on the couch? We'll do whatever makes your pup's tail wag the most! Sniffari walks: Every walk is an exciting nose adventure! I let pups explore and discover the world at their own pace. Treat-astic tricks: Learning is fun with yummy rewards! We'll master new skills and have a blast doing it. Happy Minds & Hearts: Puzzle playtime: Keeping those doggy brains buzzing with interactive toys and hidden treats! Training time-outs: Short, positive sessions to build trust and learn cool tricks

Information Rue A. would like to know about your pet

Personality: Are they playful pups or cuddle monsters? Shy guys or social butterflies? Knowing their quirks helps tailor the fun! Needs: Medical conditions, dietary restrictions, exercise requirements - understanding their needs ensures a safe and happy stay. Routines: Walk times, feeding schedules, bedtime rituals - sticking to their routine provides comfort and minimizes stress. Triggers: What makes them nervous? Loud noises, specific commands, other animals? Awareness helps us avoid meltdowns and foster trust. Escape tactics: Does Houdini live inside them? Knowing their sneaky tricks helps keep them safe and secure.

A typical day

Playing an abundance of games and long walks by lakes with plenty of treats and toys to keep them happy and consistently engaged. And we always end the day with cuddles and belly rubs.
