Dog savvy and adventurous!

Pet care experience

I think I might speak dog better than English some days! I have professional experience in vet clinics, dog kennels, and with positive reinforcement training. I have been a housesitter for more than four years as well. I have dealt with a large range of breeds, temperaments, ages, and sizes- not to mention medical conditions and emergencies! Special training for puppies, rescue dogs who need a little extra, special needs, seniors, medications (oral, optical, nasal, Insulin shots..), I have done it all. I know how to set the rules, mark the boundaries in a way dogs understand, but still have fun as a pack. To me, nothing brings me more joy than watching my dogs run in the woods or play at the park. To see them active and happy puts me at peace- and I want the same for every dog. I would be so excited and honored to get to spend time with your best friend!

Wish all my Rovers were like Ruby! She's 6stars ;-) Did great with my recalcitrant pup. So accommodating, and quite adept with dogs of all sorts, and sizes. Will recommend Ruby to my fellow dog owners. And am actually looking forward to booking with her again..

A good dog is a tired dog & that is my dog every time he goes on a hike or to the dog park with Ruby. Ruby is super passionate about animals & the outdoors which makes her an ideal dog sitter. Ruby was also my daughter's nanny for over a year so she's very trustworthy.

I have never seen anyone GET animals as well as Ruby does. My dogs and I have relied on her for years, and she has been absolutely indispensable! Her training and veterinary experience have been such an asset, and beyond that, her intuition and instinctive understanding of animals make her a natural born caregiver. I would trust Ruby with anything!

Ruby is a born caregiver of animals. Ruby has cared for my dog, Otter, on several occasions. I always know He’s going to be loved, exercised and learn a new trick while I’m away. Ruby’s experience working with dogs is reflected in Otter’s behavior even after just a day or even one hike. Ruby is wonderful with all animals and a terrific house sitter as well. I highly recommend Ruby if you are someone that worries about leaving your animal.

Information Ruby M. would like to know about your pet

I’d like to know about their personality, and their history! You can learn a lot about a dog just by hearing a little about their past. I do not have breed preferences but I absolutely have a special place in my heart for German Shepherds and Huskies. I have never owned one myself but I love pit bulls as well.

A typical day

I enjoy making use of Missoula and the Bitteroot valley’s excellent public land spaces! Some of my favorite places to hike are Kootenai Canyon, Pattee Canyon, and Blue Mountain. If your dog likes to be off leash, they can have fun running with mine. Or, if they prefer the security of a leash I’m happy to let them see the world that way as well! For friendly pups I also love trips to Jacob’s Island Bark Park to get out all the zoomies!
