It was their first time left alone all day in a very long time and my first time using the app and Cassidy was patient with my new navigation of this process and tender hearted to my lonely doggie.

“Ruth is exceptional! She is timely, communicative, and very thoughtful. Our meet and greet was wonderful, and I could tell she is very thorough because of all of the questions she asked to make sure our fur babies get the best care possible. Today she walked our dogs while we were away, sent a report card, and multiple pictures. We are extremely pleased and look forward to hiring her again ☺️ Thanks, Ruth!”

About: I started caring for pets of my own at 18. I have worked as a vet assistant for over 6 years and soon to start technician school 😃. I am certified in CPR/First Aid and have worked with pets of all ages. My ex-husband and I raised two dogs from puppies and have adopted/fostered many senior pets. One of our dogs is a tripod, one is epileptic, and one is incontinent, so I have special needs experience. I also have experience caring for donkeys, horses, reptiles, chickens, birds, and fish. I pride myself in being kind and patient in nature. It is of the utmost importance that pets in my care feels safe and secure. I normally work as a vet assistant at a vet clinic. I just moved to the area from Southern Indiana, and am looking for full-time employement. Until I secure employment, my availability is very open and flexible. My fur babies are more than just out pets; they are our kiddos. Your babies will be treated as such, too! Before I moved, I provided both drop in and boarding services. At this time, I can only do drop ins. I have subscription to Bark Box and a HUGE basket filled to the brim with toys. We keep plenty of blankets and beds around the home. We have a large sectional that we lounge on and a fully fenced in yard. We also have an exercise pen as well as the following sizes of crates on hand: two large, one extra large, and one small. Let us know what arrangements you have in your home so we can best emulate them. We also have baby gates set up to keep pets separate if necessary, and still allows for free roam in a portion of the house.

Francis Blvd dog parents share their Rover experiences
Shelisha has been absolutely phenomenal with my pups. She is sweet, reliable, caring, and overall exactly what I was looking for in a dog walker. I have no problem trusting her with my sweet pups and recommend her to anyone looking for someone to help with their furry loved ones.
Cameron was such a great choice for our fur baby. She was very communicative and always kept in touch and sent photos. she helped so much and was very sweet and our baby. We loved her would definitely recommend her and will definitely reach out again in the future. :)
She’s a phenomenal and very trustworthy dog walker. I just moved to the area and was nervous to find someone that could check on Letty multiple times a week, and sometimes last last minute. Ruth has been amazing and has been very trustworthy. She always sends me pics from their walk. Letty also loves her and is super excited to see her everyday!
Clearly my gaggle of animals love Sydney. :) I appreciate the pictures of my big boy on his walk and looking entirely too happy 🤣 Definitely will recommend Sydney to my neighbors and family and look forward to having her in our lives to help take care of the babies. ❤️ Thank you, Sydney!
