About Ruth

I've been crazy about animals for as long as I can remember. I'm from Ireland originally and recently moved to Margate from London so very excited about all the long walks and adventures here. Growing up, I was around a large variety of animals a huge amount of the time. We always had dogs and cats at home.

I am fully DBS checked and have been a member of Trusted Housesitters for a number of years taking care of animals in their home. This has given me the opportunity to broaden my experience with a wide variety of animals, mainly dogs and cats in places such as New York, LA and the UK which has been a very plesent experience

I offer day care and boarding at our home. We also have a car so happy to come and pick them up if they're comfortable travelling by car and it makes things easier.

We have a large, well fenced yard and a two level maisonette so lots of space to roam. We're also five minutes from the long stretches of sandy beaches by Margate and Broadstairs which provides lots of space to run about. There's also the lido which is a great spot that safe and calm to swim at low tide.

I work for myself as a creative freelancer so I'm fully flexible. I tend to have a morning routine where we go for a walk on the beach and then again around 4pm to a park or green area which is well protected from the road and play friendly. Most importantly, I am always available for lots of cuddles!.. and will take care of your pet as if it's my own.

When out for walks, I keep them on a lead at all times. Under strict guidance by the owner, I let them free, but only on the beach or enclosed area like a field or park. I'll also make sure to send lots of pictures and updates. Before bookings, it's always great to get an idea of their likes and dislikes, things to watch out for like sudden noises that might frighten them or cause them to react so I can make sure they feel as calm and secure as possible.
