Information Ruth P. would like to know about your pet

If your dog has additional needs let me know and we can hopefully work something out. The main thing for me and Jasper is that everyone is happy.

A typical day

We walk, sniff, walk some more, sometimes we take the ball. We live by rivers and gorgeous walking paths, sometimes we swim or just paddle if that's your thing. We regularly meet other furry friends and explore with them for a while. We love daily adventures with special treats along the way.

Very happy with service. Good communication before and during Tegan's 3 night stay. Im likely to be doing the same next year for the Melrose 7s rugby and won't hesitate to use Ruth again to look after tegan
