I live & work for my dog happiness

Pet care experience

Have had dogs all my life. Use to bred Pembroke Welsh Corgis & shown many years ago. Cared for many different breeds. Never see my life without one! Know when a dog needs to see a vet. Some grooming. Love playing. Some training. Spoiling. Make sure house & yard is always dog friendly & safe, fully fenced. My dogs health & well being is always my top priority, as would be for any dogs I look after.

I have known Ruth for 8 years and she has always had fur babies. She is very attentive and loving to her dogs and she has been the same with mine. She is very responsible and trustworthy.

I have known Ruth. M for at least 15 years. During which time she has always demonstrated a loving environment for her Babies (Aka as Dogs) The Yard is well maintained, with the waste always being picked up. I Know Ruth.M has a loving personality and sunny disposition. Her Babies were, and have been fun loving pets who demonstrate a out going personality and a willingness for belly rubs. I would defiantly trust her with any pet that I have. If you find yourself needing a babysitter for your pet I would highly recommend Ruth.M Sincerely Robin. B

I have known Ruth since 1976 and would trust her with any animals I own or have owned in my lifetime, including dogs, cats, horses and goats. At one time, she owned 8 Corgis, (6 of which she whelped) and was able to group/separate them so the ones that did not get along were unable to fight all while living in her parents' small home. At this time, she has her 13th Corgi and all her previous dogs were with her their entire lives. She gained great experience with lots of different breeds while working for someone who had show dogs. I have visited her where she now lives in Hampton and she has a great setup with a chain link fenced front yard and a separate chain link fenced back yard as well. Her Corgi would serve as a companion for others dogs she might sit and since she works from home she can closely watch them and provide lots of TLC.
