  • A short-haired german shepherd poses with a happy face and perked up ears in bright green grass

    We are so grateful for Ruth! Fletch is a sensitive soul and Ruth really takes the time to ensure he's comfortable on their Walk & Trains. Fletchie isn't a big fan of other dogs and Ruth is excellent with helping him manage and work on his big feelings. I enjoy seeing his goofy grin when she sends photos!

    Ruth is absolutely fantastic with Harry Delicious! From his very first walk with her, she has been patient, gentle and intuitive. I love that she's clued up on dog behaviour and that Harry is safe with her. Harry loves his outings with Ruth, we highly recommend her!

  • A small black labrador happily sits and panting in a grassy field

    We absolutely adore Ruth. She's kind, loving and incredibly capable in looking after our labradaughter. She takes the care to look after our little dog exactly as we would and I could not recommend her service enough.

    We couldn't recommend Ruth enough, she helped us out with out five month old German Shepherd Aria. We were having some troubles with Aria barking at other dogs and being anxious when on walks. With the help of Ruth, Aria has improved so much on our walks since our sessions. Ruth was super helpful and had an answer or a solution to any questions and most importantly Aria loved her!
