Pawesome pet sitters!

Hi, I’m Rubi. If you book with us, both my wife Martha and I will be taking care of your pet. We truly love animals, not just as pets, but as family. Before accepting a new booking, we like to do a meet and greet. This helps make sure your pet feels comfortable with us and also gets along well with our two dogs. It’s important to us that everyone feels safe, calm, and at ease from the beginning. We know how it feels to leave your dog with someone else, because we would only trust people who care for them the same way we do. That’s exactly how we care for every pet that stays with us, like they are our own. We have two dogs at home, Oddie, our 5-year-old Cavapoo, and Toffy, our 15-year-old Bichon Frise and Maltese mix. They’ve taught us patience, attention, and how every dog has their own personality and needs. Your pet will be in a calm, loving home where they are allowed on the couch, can relax, play, and just feel comfortable. We go on walks, spend time with them, and make sure they are never just being watched, they are being truly cared for. I work mornings, and Martha works from home full time, so there is always someone present. Your pet will not be left alone or ignore. We believe in letting dogs be themselves. Every pet adjusts differently to a new environment, and we understand that it can sometimes be a little stressful at first. That’s why we ask about their routines, habits, and preferences, so we can keep things as familiar as possible and reduce that initial stress. Our goal is to make the transition gentle and help them feel safe, understood, and at home. We’ll also send updates and photos, because we know how important that is when you’re away. At the end of the day, we treat your pet the way we would want someone to treat ours, with love, patience, and real attention.

Prince is always happy at drop-off and still in a great mood at pick up. We love seeing the pictures and videos that are shared throughout the day.

Rubi and Martha were AMAZING with our puppy, Cooper! We were away for the weekend and they were so communicative! My boyfriend and I LOVED receiving all pictures and videos. It made us feel so much comfort knowing he was having the best time with Rubi, Martha and their pups! We would 100% recommend their services to anyone and will definitely be using them again! Super grateful we found them and they took care of our baby!

Prince was happy to see Rubi at drop off even though it has been a while. It made me smile to watch him walk away at drop-off with his “happy trot”. Rubi is always great with sharing updates and videos. We’ll definitely book again.

Pets

A typical day

If your pet enjoys the outdoors, we love going on long walks and hikes. We like to take them on a scenic trail or a nature walk where they can sniff around and discover new scents and sights. If your pet is more of a couch potato, we can be a couch potato with them.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
No females in heat
Rubi can host up to 1 pet per night
When caring for a pet, we want to know as much information as possible about them ahead of time to ensure its safety and well-being. Medical history Allergies temperament, etc.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
