Ruth & Colin

We are a retired couple who love animals and also enjoy exploring different areas of our beautiful country.

We sadly lost our beloved dachshund Jackson at the age of 17 and really miss him. Our cat Tabitha lived to the grand old age of 19 so we are currently without a pet in our home and we feel this is an opportunity to combine our love of animals with travel.

We regularly care for a lovely energetic Airedale Terrier who enjoys his walks and cuddling up on the sofa and the bed but he very politely waits to be invited up to join us! He is a very good boy and happily allows us to shower and dry him after muddy walks!

We also love cats and often look after two affectionate sisters who love cuddles and being waited on hand and foot! They enjoy following us around the garden and very cleverly ‘tap’ at the windows when they want back inside!

We’re accustomed to big dogs, small dogs, and every size in between. Cats can be quite aloof but we find that after a short time they’re curling up on our laps!
Having been raised in the countryside we will happily care for all breeds of animals. We love them all.

We are very respectful of the homes we stay in, treating them even more carefully than our own and take pride in leaving them pristine in readiness for the owners’ return.

You can be assured that we will take the very best care of your precious pets and give them lots of love and attention to keep them happy and content so you can relax and enjoy your holiday knowing they are in good hands.
