PLEASE READ BEFORE REQUESTING A BOOKING!! I am currently a student on summer break working in DC. I work in person Tuesdays through Thursdays and remotely on Mondays and Fridays. I usually come home on the weekends. When a client provides me with the dates that they would like my services, I discuss my schedule with them to see what works best for us.

Safety, trust & environment

In order to ensure your pet’s safety and comfort, I like to follow any routine they may have in place while you’re away. For example, if they have a regular time at which they take a walk, I walk them at around the same time. As part of my drop-in visits and scheduled walks, I make sure to spend time playing with your furry friend and make sure they’re getting all the love they need while you’re away - and then some!

Information Ruby B. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know about the dogs breed, temperance, weight, when and what they eat, and if they have any special needs that I should be aware of. I think it’s important for me to understand your dog’s personality as well so I can be the best sitter possible!

A typical day

I love to go on nature walks in my free time, so I would love to take your pup on a relaxing walk in a nice park. Another favorite activity of mine that I love to do with my own dog is playing catch and frisbee! I would be happy to bring my own frisbee if you do not have your own. Overall, I’m a big fan of bringing out my inner child and playing fun games with animals. If your pet is a cuddler, then I’d be more than happy to snuggle up with them and give them some extra love while you’re away!

Pet care experience

PLEASE READ MY SCHEDULE BEFORE REQUESTING A BOOKING As a fun-loving, charismatic, playful, and cuddly human, I couldn’t imagine any better friend than one with four legs! I’ll love your furry little friend(s) in the same way I love my own dog and will provide the best care possible. With six years of walking, playing with, feeding, cleaning up after, and loving my own dog, I am confident in my ability to do the same for yours! Due to medical issues, it is my personal preference to not work too late at night or too early in the morning. However, I am willing to discuss a certain time for me to care for your pet so I can be as helpful as possible. I would appreciate it beforehand if you could inform me of your pet’s weight, breed, temperance, schedule, and favorite activities so I can be duly prepared. Please give me 24-hour notice before booking me. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friends! Thank you for your consideration.

Ruby took great care of my boy Leo as always when I was away for a long weekend. Great communication and the pics she shares gives me peace of mind he's in good hands while I'm away.

As always, Ruby took amazing care of my two cats. My shy cat even sat on her lap, which she never does with any other sitters.

As always, Ruby provided excellent care for my two senior cats. They enjoyed lots of pets and cuddles. Even my shy cat, who doesn't trust most people, let Ruby pet her and give her scritches.
