Compassionate Dog and Cat care

Pet care experience

I have been a pet owner for many years and have experience of three breeds in particular- Doberman, border collie cross Labrador and Basset Hound whom I have loved as family members. We only have our basset hound now and she is very friendly. However we have a male cat who is pleasant to visitors as long as they are pleasant to him. it’s very important that any visiting pet is accommodating to our feline friend.

Ruth and her partner were amazing with my cocker spaniel- sending daily pictures and updates,you could see he was loving his time there, plenty of interaction and walks with Bruno. Will be definitely using Ruth in the future

Claudia had an amazing time staying with Ruth for a week. She’s seven month old and I haven’t left her before so I found it quite stressful. I certainly didn’t need to be stressed. I received regular updates from Ruth and photos of Claudia having fun on walks and at the beach. She settled back in straight away and showed no signs of being upset. Thank you Ruth. Would definitely recommend.

Information Ruth G. would like to know about your pet

Your dog must be cat friendly. Please do not ask me to care for your dog if it has issues with cats. My daughter was a Rover dog sitter and the owner did not declare this at the time of booking resulting in fatal consequences.

A typical day

We go on daily walks around our lovely village or sometimes - when time allows - we go a little further and walk around Croxdale Hall or Burn Hall Woods.
