Respectful and attentive pet care
**** 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.

Safety, trust & environment
DROP-INS (CATS, DOGS & OTHER ANIMALS) I can help with a variety of daycare tasks for dogs, cats or other animals. All dogs will be taken for walks, fed and exercised! I also grew up with cats so I'm used to their subtle communication; I always respect their space to make them feel more comfortable. I'm happy to provide all animals with a company and essential care!
Ratings and reviews
Ruta was very punctual, tidy and provided lovely pictures of our pets. They were nice and calm when we arrived home and she left everything very clean. She followed our requests for food and company to the letter. Would definitely recommend.
Ruta did a great job of getting to know and then walking our lab as she stayed with the grandparents. Very consciousness and punctual and asked all the right questions. Would recommend.
Booking Ruta for a second time was a no-brainer: she’s reliable, trustworthy, consistent and genuinely cares for our Buddy. Having just started letting him venture outside in the weeks before our holiday, we knew he would be confused by suddenly having to remain inside for 11 days. Ruta was instrumental in helping him adapt to the situation as smoothly as possible and proactive when he decided to find a new spot to do his business! Knowing Buddy was being visited a couple of times a day and having some company to break up his boredom put our minds at rest, meaning we could enjoy our holiday. We will definitely continue to use Ruta’s services in the future. Thanks again, Ruta!
Ruta looked after our lovely girl for eleven days and we are very pleased with her. She really does such a good job and we will certainly continue to book her. We do now anyway but knowing the fab job she does is reassuring and she is so pleasant as well. Thank you Ruta x
Rita actually dog sat for us. She looked after my elderly parents’ dogs and they said she was absolutely fantastic - very reassuring with them and they wouldn’t hesitate to contact her again. Communication throughout was faultless.
Ruta was fantastic - she asked plenty of questions to make sure she understood exactly what our cat needed, and kept in touch throughout the booking to let us know all was well. Would definitely use again.
