Safety, trust & environment

I prioritize creating a calm, safe, and attentive environment for every pet in my care. I give pets plenty of attention and enjoy spending quality time with them throughout the day rather than leaving them to entertain themselves. In my own home, pets are always supervised and included in my day-to-day routine, whether that means relaxing nearby while I work or having quiet time to rest. I pay close attention to comfort, behavior, and safety at all times. In clients’ homes, I respect their space and follow their routines closely. I’m happy to use any toys or activities provided, and I focus on keeping pets comfortable, engaged, and not stressed while their owners are away.

Information Ruby C. would like to know about your pet

Before caring for your pet, I like to learn as much as possible to make sure they’re comfortable and safe. Please let me know about your pet’s personality, any likes or dislikes, favorite toys or activities, and their usual feeding and potty routine. If your pet has any medications, medical needs, or special instructions, I’m happy to follow them exactly as directed. I also appreciate knowing about any habits, sensitivities, or behaviors that might be helpful to understand ahead of time. The more I know, the better I can care for your fur baby and keep their routine stress-free while you’re away. 😊

A typical day

A typical day with your pet is all about keeping them happy, comfortable, and engaged! For dogs, that might include walks, trips to the dog park if they enjoy it, playtime, and plenty of attention throughout the day. Cats and smaller pets get lots of interactive play, cuddles, and supervision, while still respecting their space and routine. I like to balance fun and relaxation, making sure pets have opportunities to explore, exercise, or play when they want, and quiet time to rest when they need it. Whether it’s walking, playing with favorite toys, snuggles, or simply hanging out together, my goal is to make their day feel safe, fun, and full of love 💕

Safe, Happy Care for Your Fur Baby

Pet care experience

Hi! I’ve been around animals my whole life and started out doing neighborhood dog walking when I was younger. I’ve cared for all kinds of animals over the years such as dogs, cats, reptiles, ducks, turtles, and even farm animals. I’m patient, attentive, and big on keeping pets comfortable and happy while sticking to their normal routines. I truly love animals and treat every pet with care, kindness, and respect. I’m reliable, easy to communicate with, and always happy to send updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away. P.S- If You are worried about your pets staying with my cat, No worries at all! She stays with family on such occasions so I can take care of your fur babies!

Ruby was such a great boarder for juniper! She is very communicative and I knew juniper would have a fun time staying with her. Highly recommend!
