Safety, trust & environment

Dogs will have full access to the kitchen and living room and a fenced outdoor space as well as regular exercise and toilet breaks in our secure field. We have space to crate if required but happy for them to be free range. We are a "dogs on the furniture" family but not in bedrooms/on beds as that is the cat space! However there is a sofa bed in the living room and a small box bedroom where one of us could sleep if a dog needed to sleep on a bed with human cuddles.

Information Ruth M. would like to know about your pet

I am used to dogs who require regular walks and who enjoy chasing balls and Frisbees. I have experience of administering regular oral medications. If your dog has any special requirements please let me know so that these can be accommodated.

A typical day

First thing is morning walk around the paddock to let the chickens out and then home for breakfast. Some cuddles and play time, then quiet time. Lunchtime walk is around 1230pm, either round the back/bigger field or round the road. Then play time/chill time. Teatime walk around 5pm/5.30pm and tea. Evening play time and chill out. Bedtime walk around 9.30pm. Some days there will be walks in the woods or up a hill or in to the local village to the shop. There are lots of options.

Pets

Animal loving household with pets

Pet care experience

I have had cats and dogs for 20 years, my husband was brought up with dogs and cats so between us we have 60+ years of experience with pets. We have our own livestock, sheep and hens as well as our own cats and dog. We regularly look after friends and families dogs too. We have a good indoor space, with areas where we can separate dogs if necessary, and have our own safe field where dogs can get off to run around, assuming they are livestock savvy as well as access to great country walks from the doorstep. We are close to Perth but far enough out to be nice and quiet.

Ollie had a great time at Ruth's the perfect place for him to stay whilst we were away. Ruth sent lots of settling in photos which put our minds at rest that we had made the right decision for his care. Ollie has obviously been happy during his stay. Would highly recommend

I would highly recommend Ruth anyday. She helped us out massively with a last minute booking and was very accommodating. Lovely friendly household in a great location. Our pup had a lovely visit and we will 100% be using her again for future trips.
