Information Ruta K. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know any special needs or habits so I can accommodate for them accordingly. For dog walking, basic commands the dog knows and information on their behaviour on a lead, towards other dogs and people would also be helpful.

A typical day

Usually, we can go exploring fields any time of the day. I'm happy to provide both physically and mentally stimulating exercises or just go for slow and quiet walks; whatever the dog needs!

Respectful and attentive pet care

Pet care experience

**** Personally insured for dog walking and pet boarding, sitting, grooming and transportation **** **** Member of The National Association for Pet Sitters & Dog Walkers (NarpsUK) **** ABOUT ME Hi, I'm Ruta, I've recently finished a postgraduate degree in animal studies and aim to become a researcher in this field. I have been caring for animals since I was little and decided this is what I want to do. I love all animals and believe each individual should be treated with respect and dignity. I'm always trying to be flexible and attentive to their personal needs and respond accordingly. Our companions tell us a lot, we just need to listen! My current companions are a cat and an adopted ex-racing greyhound (yes, a cat lives safely with a greyhound!). I've worked on the rescue's anxiety and fear of people. Previously I had a dachshund and regularly cared for my family's Jack Russell terrier, both with a quite strong prey drive so I'm experienced with hunting breeds, high energy or timidness if that's your concern. DOG WALKING There are several parks, a large open grassland and a field nearby suitable for sniffing and exploring. I tailor walks for individual dog needs: we can go for calm and quiet walks or engage in energetic mentally and physically stimulating games.

Ruta was kind and efficient. My animals obviously got on really well with her. She left my house clean and tidy. All good. I would happily recommend her as a house sitter. I have rebooked her already.

I am so happy to find Ruta. I won’t go to anyone else from now on. She is a perfect cat sitter for us and our fur babies absolutely adore her. At the initial meet & greet, my 2 cats instantly liked her and trusted her. She was so gentle with them, understands their needs and space. Both must have sensed that; They went to her straight away on her arrival. They looked so relaxed and happy about having her around. She understood and respected my needs as well. I have my particular way of litter cleaning but she willingly and quickly learned it without making me feel I am asking her too much. She also proactively asked questions about litter disposals, cat flap rules, and other house rules. So I was able to go on holiday with peace of mind. While I was away, she sent me prompt and detailed updates daily with photos and videos, within one hour after she finished the visit. Updates include task completion (e.g. eye drop application, litter cleaning etc), health updates, their behaviour and interaction with her. Those information put my mind at ease. When I came back, I was reunited with very chilled out cats and a clean and tidy home. I would highly recommend Ruta.
