I also keep owners updated so they feel connected and worry-free. This isn’t just a gig for me, I actually care about the pets I watch Currently I have no job so I will have plenty of time to take care of your pets!

“Ruth is one of the nicest, happiest people that I have ever met. My husband and I felt very comfortable giving her a key to our home for use during our vacation. She was good with our cat, and she followed all of our requests, including to send us daily photos. We are so fortunate to have found her, and we would definitely use her again as our pet sitter!”


About: I've been around both cats and dogs since I was born, and have helped care for then since I was able to. I volunteered at an animal shelter for 3 years, where I learned how to handle dogs of all temperaments and energy levels, read their body language, comfort scared dogs, and handle dog-aggressive dogs in close proximity to other dogs. I can teach core training skills, and teach your dog good manners so they're always on their best behavior. I've been dog sitting for friends and family for two years now and have experienced it all! I would love to provide your fur baby with excellent care while you're away! I'm a college student, so I'm free during much of the day, and only have to be gone for a few hours at a time. I can do most of my work from anywhere, so I'd have no problem balancing it while taking care of your fur baby! Due to my current living situation, I can only care for your pets in your own home. I have lots of experience as both a short term and long term live in sitter. I am always respectful of the client's space, and will follow whatever directions you leave. Whether it's for a drop in visit or house sitting while you're on vacation, I look forward to providing great care to your fur baby!

About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life and am comfortable with most breeds and all sizes. I have experience with senior dogs, sick dogs, and puppies! I love spending time with animals and hope to make you and your pets days a little easier with my help! I am currently applying to graduate school and am in between jobs so have a very flexible schedule! I have a reliable car and am able to travel as well. I live in an apartment complex that is pet friendly and am on the first floor. My complex has a dog park and plenty of walking paths for long walks! I have dog toys and treats available at home. I am a very active person and love spending time outside. If I am traveling to your home I would love to schedule a visit before working with your pet to ensure that we get along and that I know where the necessary materials are that they will need when spending time with me!
