About Ruby
Hi, my name is Ruby and I have been house/pet sitting and caring for peoples furbabies for over 10 years. I absolutely adore being a pet sitter because I get to spend time with all sorts of furry and feathered friends. I am trustworthy, honest, reliable, I communicate with the parents of my furbabies whilst they are away for peace of mind and I send photo updates. I generally pet sit in the pets home as it's a place they are most comfortable.

Some of the furbabies I look after have special diets or medical needs so I am confident and capable when it comes to administering medications and following diets or specific regimes. I have looked after a diabetic senior dog named Liz several times who requires a special diet as well as insulin injections twice a day. There is a cat named Fudge who has a skin condition as well as a chronic illness and he requires daily oral medications and special diets. Pretty much every pet I sit for has a specific diet or requirement so I am happy to adapt to their needs.

Regarding your house, I will look after the property, water gardens, bring in mail etc. I keep a tidy space and I always do a tidy/vacuum round, change any sheets and towels, every time before I leave. I am happy to either wait for your arrival home to swap keys or leave with a neighbour etc if arranged prior.

I am currently a student nurse and I first began pet sitting as a way to help subsidise my studies whilst helping out a few friends. Those friends then passed my details on to their friends and colleagues and eventually I began house/petsitting on a more regular basis. I absolutely love it and I make sure I care for all my furry friends as if they were my own. I spend quite a bit of time studying and doing readings so I find it comforting to have a pet keep me company. I also live in a share house with 3 flatmates so being a house/pet sitter provides me with a nice quiet study space and having dogs to walk allows me to get out and about for some fresh air between readings.

In my spare time I am a crochet and sewing addict. I make quite a few things and either give them as gifts or friend commission me to make things for them to give as gifts. I love reading and listening to podcasts. I am currently listening to a great audio book which I enjoy.

The requirements I have are pretty simple. Clear communication and instructions to follow if needed. I also generally like to come and meet you and your pets before any assignment so we can all make sure we are comfortable with one another and most importantly, your pets are comfortable with me. This also gives you a chance to show me around or ask/clarify anything.

I have current and valid police checks and working with children checks which I can provide if need be. I also have references attaining to my experience as a petsitter. I really look forward to meeting your furbabies.

Again Ruby has been absolutely fantastic. She looked after my cats during a three-week holiday, and they probably didn't even notice I was gone. In fact, I think they might prefer her to me :) She also looked after my house very well, and I wouldn't hesitate a moment to recommend her to anyone who needs a pet minder.

Ruby took excellent care of our two cats - they loved her and I don't think they missed us at all!
