Highlights
Pet care experience
Compassionate and calming animal lover
A home has never felt quite right without an animal there - I’ve always grown up with dogs and cats in my house. Since moving to Norwich, I now have a clingy tuxedo cat called Mister. I have previous experience caring for both lively puppies and senior dogs. More recently, I often care for friends/families/neighbours dogs and cats which I absolutely love. My calming presence can often help for any animals with a more anxious energy. I have a quiet, calming voice and love to give dogs (and cats if they like it) all the belly rubs and strokes. I have my car so am able to take your dog(s) out for walks to their favourite places, however long the walk! I'm always happy to meet up in person or over video call first to give you, as a pet owner, the reassurance your pets are in good hands.

Ratings and reviews
Ruth looked after my dogs and house just like I do with lots of love and care, she is so calm and caring with Bailey who is a nervous dog (he loves her now) and Bo Bo. Ruth kept me updated every day with photos and messages. She is amazing and i would have her in my home and look after the doggies anytime. Thankyou xxx
Ruth was brilliant with our dog Loki and her patience paid off with our cat Amber who usually hides away from people she doesnt know. Ruth made sure she came to see us and meet our anxious dog Loki before she looked after them for the day. She has a lovely calm manner about her which was ideal for our over excitable dog. We definitely recommend her.
Ruth did an outstanding job of looking after our anxious Wirehaired Dachshund Lucy. Ruth is super calm and had an immediate affinity with Lucy when they met. We received regular updates and photos while we were away and we came back to a happy, relaxed dog and very tidy house. I would not hesitate to highly recommend Ruth and will be booking her again.
Ruth was amazing with our Golden Retriever, very attentive and calm. It looked like they had a lovely time together and Barney will miss her company. She is very flexible and reliable, I felt safe leaving my boy with her. Ruth is also a great communicator and kept us updated, not to mention the house was left in perfect condition. We are so grateful and would love to use her again!
Ruth is amazing this is the first time we have left our 2 dogs with a sitter as we always have family look after them. Ruth came and met the dogs and was so king and gentle with them they liked her straight away, when we left them Ruth took the time and care with Bailey who is the anxious one and he was absolutely fine without us. Ruth left the house spotless and even done my washing she is a star and I will definitely been asking her to stay with my doggies again Thankyou so much ❤️
Wesley and me both absolutely loved Ruth. She has a calm, warm energy that pervaded the house and both of us as soon as she arrived. Wesley has been with me for over 16 years and is my pride and joy and I felt complete confidence leaving him with her. Ruth is also very trustworthy, practical, flexible and accommodating. I would recommend her to any and all pet owners.
