Pet care experience

Aspiring Animal Behaviorist

Hi, I’m Ruby! I'm a Humane Society volunteer and I’ve been house sitting and taking care of animals for about six years. I’m a college student planning to study animal behavior and marine biology, and I’m using this opportunity to get more hands on experience with animals while saving up for school. I’ve cared for all kinds of pets: dogs, cats, rabbits, reptiles, chickens, goats, horses, birds, fish, and more, so I’m comfortable with a wide range of animals and care needs. I take pet care seriously and always do my best to follow routines and make animals feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. If you’re looking for someone responsible, experienced, and passionate about animals, I’d be happy to help!

Ruby was great! We got back a tired, happy pup and a house as clean as we left it. We’ll definitely hire her again when we need a house sitter.

Please let me know if your pet has any special needs, routines, or behaviors that I should be aware of so I can give them the best care possible. Information about feeding schedules, medications, exercise preferences, and how they interact with other pets or people is especially helpful. I also like to know if they have favorite toys, games, or comfort items. The more details I have, the better I can make sure they feel right at home with me.
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.
