Love ALL dogs like they're my own!
Pet care experience
I have always loved dogs and eventually the begging worked when we got our first family dog when I was 7. Along with our own family dogs, I have taken care of many different dogs in my life, from Maltese to Great Dane, from 9 weeks old to 15 years old. I have dog-sat neighbor's dogs for weeks at a time, taken care of service dogs, and began fostering in 2020. I care for and love all dogs like they are my own and am learning more and more about training as I foster service dogs in training while at school!
Reviews
Ruby LOVES dogs and is very caring a diligent while caring for them. She puts the dogs needs above all else and is a conscientious caretaker.
Ruby is very responsible, patient and attentive with our two dogs. We have used her multiple times to stay at our home while we are traveling. She sent daily updates and pictures via text which eased our concerns while we were away. Our dogs love their time with her and we highly recommend her to care for your pet!
Ruby is great with dogs and I would recommend her services to everyone! My dog absolutely loves her and she is my go to sitter anytime I am away. I am stress free knowing my dog is in safe hands with Ruby who cares deeply for every animal she meets. She is extremely trustworthy and will go above and beyond with your pet!

Safety, trust & environment
The way I care for a pet varies between clients as sometimes I am asked to do simple training, while other times I'm told the dog is totally fine hanging out they just need someone to be home. I always follow the owners instructions/recommendations to ensure the best experience for all involved! I also do not typically feel comfortable letting dogs off leash outside unless the area is fenced in, I prefer to be on the safe side. Your dog will be in the best hands :)
Home
Information Ruby R. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your dog has any medications, special needs, or behaviors that I can account for. I assure you I will always do what is best for the dog I just need to know what that would be!
A typical day
I will ask the owner what the dog likes to do and basically follow that to the best of my ability. An average day with a dog I watch includes playing both inside and outside in a fenced in area nearby. There are some beautiful trails by me that I would love to take a dog for a walk through. Provided the dog likes it, there will be lots of pets and snuggles.
