Information Ruby K. would like to know about your pet

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.

A typical day

I love to keep pets happy, active, and engaged. Depending on their needs, we’ll go for walks, play games, and enjoy plenty of cuddle time. I’ll make sure they get both physical exercise and mental stimulation through games, training reinforcement, or puzzle toys. If they’re more relaxed, we’ll have calm time together with lots of love and attention. Every day is tailored to what makes your pet feel safe, happy, and cared for.

Aspiring Animal Behaviorist

Pet care experience

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!
