Pet care experience

Dog & Cat lover!

I am an animal lover from the Midwest that just moved to the PNW. I was raised with pets my entire life - from dogs to cats, to rabbits and birds. I am friendly and outgoing - and can talk about cats and nature all day. I am great with big and small dogs. I also love cats! I have two cats, and two dogs! I am a firm believer that dogs are a person's best friend! I am always happy to help however I can. I am very flexible and understanding. You can count on me to treat your fur baby as my own. I would love to meet your pup and make a new furry friend!

Safety, trust & environment

I am currently not caring for pets in my home as I have a small apartment with 4 pets already. I am happy to care for pets in their own home, and follow their normal schedule. I am very accommodating and súper flexible. Let’s chat!

Short version: Ruby speaks pet! Long version: Ruby was a pet whisperer the moment she met my dog; he totally loved on her (he's not picky but he definitely has his favorites). During the meet & greet I could tell she understood how important sticking to a schedule was, which meant a lot. But going back really quick, what meant the most to me was her empathy (we both want the best for our pets), and this is what made Ruby a trusted sitter. Thank you Ruby, so very much!!

I am super happy we chose Ruby to watch our chance. We were updated everyday and were sent pictures. He was happy ? and so are we knowing we traveled and he was in good hands. We will definitely be using her again!

Ruby loves dogs and it showed the moment she met my fur-baby. She is genuine, responsible and goes out of her way to communicate with parent how pet is doing. Ruby has done everything from walking to staying overnight for 6 days all while giving me peace-of-mind that my doggie is in good hands. We love Ruby and highly recommend her.

Ruby has stayed with our dog five times, in our home. Ruby communicates very well, and constantly exceeds our expectations. The dog respects Ruby and enjoyed her company. Thank you Ruby!

Ruby has a great understanding of dog-dynamics, I observed my dog give Ruby the literal puppy-eyes while attempting to get his way. Ruby is a great pack leader, I trust her with my dog and so could you.

I am friendly and outgoing and super understanding. Love meeting new pups and exploring the outdoors. I am súper direct and clear in communicating so I appreciate the same! Especially if pups need any special care or instructions.
