Information Ruta L. would like to know about your pet

Important: please update your dog care info with the typical routine (walking/eating), do’s and don’ts with as many details as possible. VERY IMPORTANT: Please make sure your dog’s vaccines and flea/worm treatments are up to date. Let me know if your dog needs any special care. i have experience looking after puppies and senior dogs. Very familiar with administering oral medication and dogs with Separation anxiety.

A typical day

I love to stimulate dogs both mentally and physically. I love using training (positive reinforcement using part of their daily food), learning new tricks. Also enrichment activities - natural chewing treats, lick mats, kongs to make their feed time a bit more challenging/interesting. Dogs are never bored in our household! Outside activities depends on your dogs need, long walks paired with training exercises. I like going to Dyke road park, St Annes well gardens, Preston Park, seafront, Rugby fields, Hove park. Usually 2 shorter walks on weekday (morning and lunch) and a long one in the evening. Weekends - 2 long walks morning and evening and a short lunch break.

Your dog’s new best buddy

Pet care experience

Me and my boyfriend both love animals and love taking care of all pets. I’ve always been surrounded by dogs. As a family we had airedale terriers and also mixed breed (terriers) dogs. Can’t imagine my life without a dog in it. I’m very interested in learning about dog training/behaviour. Owning terriers prepared myself well for all kind of situations and taught me a lot.

Excellent service! Our cat, who can be difficult, was cared for with such kindness and attention. We returned home to a very happy and relaxed cat (as if we hadn't left). Reliable, trustworthy, diligent and highly recommended - with a massive thumbs up!

Ruta is a wonderful dog sitter. She looked after Rupert, my Golden Retriever puppy, for a weekend and he was in such a great mood when I returned home! I would happily hire Ruta again and highly recommend her

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.
