About Ruth

Hello, my name is Ruth,

I am a kind, considerate mature lady, well experienced with pet care, with live-in childcare (I have run a small child care business), and I have spent 6 years in the UK with elderly care therefore have transferable skills to animal/child welfare in your home. 

I am now retired, so I am available for your pet care,which I find enjoyable, as I have more time to spare. I am happy with any type of cat or a small pet and I can spend 15 minutes playing and attending to your pet's needs, feeding etc. Dogs are out of the equation for a few months due to my knee joint problems. I can visit your pet once a day and check on your home, but can negotiate two times if required, if within 2 km on my home.

I am also available for house sitting and can be trusted. I am honest and reliable.

My area is Papanui, in Christchurch. I have worked on several Pawshake bookings in the past and I am experienced in house-minding where I could be in the house at least half a day, if needed, and I am also experienced with live-in for children while parents are away on holiday or business.

I am professional, have a police check for 2021.
I look forward to meeting with you and looking after your pets.

Ruth was absolutely fabulous looking after my Golly cat. She gave us many updates on how she was doing whilst we were away as well as being very thorough about how we wanted her cared for and what Golly preferred. Ruth was very lovely and I would definitely recommend her to others.
