Hi I am Ruth, married to John for 21 years and mum to 18 yr daughter and 11yr old son and mum also to CharleyFarley, our 5 yr old female cocker spaniel.

We live a 5 min walk from Bransbury Park in Milton and a 10 minute stroll from the Eastney dog walking area of Southsea beach and absolutely love spending time there with the dogs we look after.

I previously worked with Pompey Pet Sitter and have looked after other people's dogs all my adult life, part time, now branching out to do so full time, having worked in social care in Hampshire for the last 18 years and wanting a change of pace!

I especially enjoy seeing happy dogs enjoying the beach or park and crashing out afterwards in a long snooze!

Your pet will be treated as one of the family whilst with us and will be kept safe, well cared for and loved until you are reunited with them.

We have a big, safe fully fenced and walled garden with a locked gate. Your dog has free access to the whole garden on both wet and dry days and can enjoy sun or shade, grass or shingle, plus the dog-only paddling pool on extra warm days!

Special requests for your pet will always be managed, where possible and we aim to make their stay as happy and content as possible, whilst offering you peace of mind that your best friend is neither bored or lonely!

All breeds taken but we ask that you provide proof of up to date vaccinations and that your pet is regularly flea and worm treated for the benefit of everyone!

We look forward to meeting you and your best friend(s) in a visit to our home, where you can meet our mutt and can see where your pooch will hang out!

Looking forward to hearing from you with any queries.
Ruth
