About Ruth
I am an animal lover and very experienced dog rescuer, re-homer and trainer. While staying in my home, your dog will experience the best of all the home comforts, including a warm and comfy bed inside or outside at night, a choice of two secure yards for play and activities and a dog friendly park close by for those daily walks, all with your strict instructions paid attention to. A retired Veterinary Nurse, I recently re-sat my Certificate III in Animals Studies to update my skills in caring for animals by today's standards and was awarded Student Of The Year at my training institute. I can handle any medical needs of your dog when they stay with me and have a team of specialist Vets I have known for decades at my door step in case of any emergency.
It's important that your pet is dog friendly, de-sexed and C5 vaccinated, as I always have other dogs staying with me and we don't want any contagion. So, I will ask you to show me your current vaccination certificate or medical history.
Mad Paws now requires its sitters to adhere to strict health standards as advised by the Government Health department. These measures not only exist to safeguard our Pet Owners, but also our Sitters.

I was very nervous about leaving my girl who is anxious, on multiple meds and has special needs in someone else’s hands. We were so relieved when we met Ruth. Charlotte was immediately comfortable and at ease which was a clear sign that she would be in very good and caring hands. Thank you so much for taking such great care of our darling, Ruth!

Such a pleasure to deal with and Davo really sounded like he made himself at home. Thank you Ruth. I felt very assured knowing Davo was in your care. We'll be seeing you again soon 🌻
