2. Ruth M.



“Ruth was hired to walk my Chihuahua, Nyla, on a regular basis while I am at work. I liked her so much in our meet & greet that I cancelled the other appointments I had set to look for the right dog walker. She is on time consistently, sends great updates and my dog LOVES HER! I fully trust her with access to the house and with my pup. Will be using her consistently moving forward.”
