Information Ruth N. would like to know about your pet

Please let us know your dogs specific needs. We treat every dog as an individual. It would be good to know in advance: 🐾if your dog is reactive. If so, what are the triggers (dogs/people/traffic/something else)?... and how they tend to react 🐾How your dog walks on a lead 🐾Your dogs level of recall 🐾How does your dog travel in a car? 🐾Any health issues you dog may have 🐾Any allergies 🐾Anything else you think we should know about

A typical day

I believe in stimulating dogs mentally & physically. Our outdoor walks are across different locations in & out of the local area. Depending on your location, we may walk to a park or travel by car. We try to have a combination of on-lead and off-lead walks, although this would depend on the specific needs of each dog.

Pet care experience

I grew up having various pets, including a family dog, from a young age. My career held me back from owning my own dog until my working life changed pre-pandemic, which is when I started adding dogs to my family to help satisfy my love of dogs. My first dog is a Weimaraner who came to us as a puppy. After socialising and training him myself, from 8 weeks old, I added a Doberman to our family. She was rescued in 2022 after being handed into a dog pound, and after over coming some expected issues, she settled into my family perfectly with all family members and our resident dog. Unfortunately, in May 2026, she unexpectedly passed away. Friends, family and neighbours often rely on me to help look after and train their own dogs, so I can confidently say i can handle any dog, regardless of breed or size. I would love to add more dogs to my family but practicality and cost won't allow me to, so, with my sensible head on, I'm offering to look after others dogs so whilst allowing others to have confidence that their dog is well looked after whilst they are away from home, I also get my dog fix 😁 I am an emergency foster for a breed specific rescue, so do sometimes have another dog in my residence. I've attended various online dog training courses including dog first aid. To make sure your dog gets the full attention it deserves, we only walk 2 dogs at any one time, unless we are attending a private secure location. Sole dog walking is available if required and we welcome reactive or nervous dogs. We dont discriminate against breed or size. If you are after someone confident with your dog who is reliable and able to follow your requirements needs when it comes to taking care of your dog, please do reach out. Please note, we would always do a meet and greet before confirming any bookings.

I’ve known Ruth for a few years and can honestly say she is a fantastic dog owner and a very trustworthy person to care for animals. She has dogs of her own and is incredibly responsible, patient, and attentive to their needs. Treats them like part of the family, always making sure they are happy, well cared for, and loved. She has also looked after my dog, and I always felt completely confident leaving him in her care. I knew he would be safe, well exercised, and given lots of attention and affection. It’s clear that she genuinely enjoys being around animals and understands their different personalities and needs. She treats every dog with kindness and genuine affection, making sure they are comfortable, well exercised, and happy. Any pet owner would be lucky to have Ruth looking after their dog. I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for a kind, reliable and caring dog sitter.
