Pet care experience

Available for check-ins, dog walking & feeding

I have looked after dogs belonging to family and friends since growing up in a household with pets we adored. I moved back to the Essex countryside a few years ago and have had a wonderful time making new friends and reconnecting with loved ones nearby (often with their pets, and looking after them when their owners travel away).

Safety, trust & environment

I am currently not offering services in my own home. I will follow the routines and guidelines owners provide to maintain continuity for their pets and ensure I am caring for them the way they wish for me to.

Ruth was great! Good communication, sent me pictures of the cats, and both of them seemed happy when I got home. Thanks Ruth! :)

Ruth is one of the kindest people that I know. She is very trust worthy and is always there to look after my dog whenever I need some extra help. She is caring and very responsible and my dog absolutely loves her!

Ruth has been looking after our elderly staffy for 3 years now. Bebe loves a snooze on the sofa with Ruth after a long walk in the fields. Bebe has a few allergies and Ruth has always been wonderful at making sure she has her treatments and the right food at the right time. It's always so comforting knowing our precious pooch is loved and doted on when we can't be there to do it ourselves.

Any dog would be lucky to be looked after by Ruth, I’ve stayed with her numerous times with my own pup and she always provides a fun yet calm environment, has lots of lovely dog walking routes on her doorstep and has a long list of dog friendly establishments nearby.

Let me know if your dog has particular preferences (favourite walks perhaps!), and any individual needs or considerations so that I can support them as best I can to have a positive and relaxed day together. Please let me know: - their typical routine e.g. if they are fed at particular times - expectations in your home e.g. whether they are allowed on the furniture - any behaviours that you would like reinforcing e.g. positive reinforcing of behaviours on the dog walk itself
