Pet care experience

Experienced pet caregiver

I have had a multitude of dogs, big and small since I was a younger with different personalities. Currently working from home, doing Rover as a side hustle. I have been loving watching peoples pets as I don’t have any pets in my apartment right now so I love spending time and playing with your animals! You set the rules and I follow them, whatever makes you and your pet comfortable I am happy to do. Also, I'm open to doing a meet and greet prior to taking care of your fur baby if that makes you more comfortable! I work a hybrid job, my schedule is 9-5. However, I can be fully remote if need be! Very flexible work schedule. I can crate your dog if needed, but if not your fur baby is free to roam my apartment! If you prefer me to be dog sitting at your home, I will abide by any specifications you give. I’ve never owned a cat, but my boyfriend has one, and I’ve spent more time with cats over the last decade through friends as well! I’m experienced in play based activities if your cat likes that, I’ve walked some cats before; I know not all love ;). I also do some drop ins for some people in my building. Happy to do any meet & greets if that makes you feel comfortable!

Ruby is an incredible communicator and helpful in every way—inspires so much trust with her calm demeanor and actions (she had to care for our Joey who fell ill while we were away). Awesome pet caregiver!

Ruby was excellent with our Ranger! They provided regular updates and photos which kept us at ease while we were out of town. I would recommend Ruby to anyone!

Brooklyn had another amazing day with Ruby today! Ruby was very flexible and understanding when my schedule changed a few times. Brooklyn always comes home happy and healthy.

Schedule

As I’m currently working from home and my hybrid schedule is pretty lax I can be away from my laptop whenever it works for me. Makes going out on a walk and playing with your pet(s) super easy. Doing drop ins/boarding also is very easy with my schedule.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in an apartment in a dog friendly building. All dogs are allowed on furniture; if that is something you don’t want your dogs to be in the habit of I can work with any rules you have. If your dog isn’t good around other dogs I’m happy to take precautions!

A typical day

I love to play with dogs, play catch, throw a ball around and sit and give them all the attention needed! I can take your dog out on a walk to the park right by me! I can engage your dog's brain using food and toys in creative ways. Mealtimes are a great time to introduce brain games as most dogs are extremely motivated by food!
