Looking for a home from home? 🐶🐾

Hi I'm Ruth! I've always had family dogs, and miss having fury friends around. We hated putting our family labradors in kennels, and I wouldn't wish that on anyone else! Had there been an alternative we would’ve used that in a heartbeat. With my open kitchen diner and a secure 1/4 acre garden for your dog to charge around, there is plenty of space. From vizlas, to retrievers, to terriers, no dog is too big or small. I’m here to offer a home from home service so you can have peace of mind when you are away. Please let me know if your dog is good with other dogs in your opening message, it helps juggle my diary from the get go!

Second time leaving our dog with Ruth and we couldn't have been happier. Barney had to be persuaded to leave when we came to collect him!! Ruth is so kind, caring, flexible and listens to my every worry. We are so happy we have found someone we trust with our dog. Thank you Ruth!

Ruth took great care of Spoonie and in fact he didn’t want to come home! He had so much fun and was tired the rest of the day. He enjoyed playing in Ruth’s garden with another dog. I will definitely use Ruth again!

Ruth is the kind of person who puts you at ease straight away. She loved Barney and listened and understood all of my concerns about leaving him and him not being dog friendly. Her home is beautiful and comfortable. She stayed in contact throughout and was flexible with picking up arrangements. We feel so lucky to have found someone as kind as Ruth. Barney loved his time with her. Thank you!!

Mollie and Barney had the best time with Ruth. She was so welcoming and obviously loved dogs. Would highly recommend her to anyone considering using a dog sitter

Schedule

I work from home and have very few calls, so I can attend to all your dogs need. I can be present for the whole time your pet is here. I have plenty of fields around me so have lots of options to walk them. I can tailor needs as required.

Safety, trust & environment

I will provide them with a warm and loving, safe environment. I will give your dog/s plenty of attention, and treat them as if they are my own. When I look after our old family dog (Amber, a fox red lab, soon turning 13!), I am diligent with giving her the medication she needs. And also tailor shorter walks for her bad arthritis. Naturally, I will do all the necessary things ie. feed them at the timings they are used to, ensure their water bowl is always full, let them out to the toilet as frequently as they require. Give them lots of love and play time. In short, I will look after your dog as if it's my own.

A typical day

I will ensure your dogs are stimulated mentally and physically. I have plenty of space for them to charge around inside and out. I have a very cool open kitchen diner that is lovely for the dogs in the summer.
