Pet care experience

Recently retired nurse with plenty of spare time

Previous dog and cat owner. No pets at present but I often look after friends and family pets. Retired community nurse so very used to care in people’s homes and use of key safes. Expert knowledge of the local area and good safe walks if needed.

Pip had a lovely time and was well looked after. Could not have asked for a better service.

So happy we chose Ruth to look after Alfie. A lovely, friendly lady who obviously enjoys what she does and most importantly, we've picked up a happy healthy dog - who just wanted one more game of Frisby with her before coming home! Will definitely use Ruth again.

Ruth was fantastic with Millie. This was a last minute booking and Ruth couldn't be more accommodating and helpful. Millie stayed overnight and settled pretty quickly. They went for a long walk and I got regular updates. Couldn't be more happy with Ruth! Definitely will recover her and use her services again. ❤️

Ruth looked after Rosy very well. They had a good walk and she spent time sitting on their knees which she loves. Will definitely use Ruth again.
