Safety, trust & environment

If your animal needs to spend the night at my house, here are a few things to note. We have a beautiful backyard that is fully fenced in, hiking trails 3 minute walk away, we have two cats and one dog. All of which will not be a problem. Our dog is extremely friendly, and our cats will probably stay away and mind their own business. I am prepared to give your dog what they need, medicine, crates, walks, potty breaks, as long as I am given instructions to do so. If I am in a clients home, I will respect that space highly. I’m sure every client is different, and different clients expect different things.

Information Ruby S. would like to know about your pet

I’d love to know what breed your pet is. If your pet has any issues with other animals I am happy to attend to that, just please let me know prior.

A typical day

I’m happy to go on a nice trail. I love hiking and exploring new areas. I love going on sunrise/sunset hikes. I’m also so happy to just hang out and lounge, maybe sunbathe, with your pets!

Pet care experience

Hi, I'm Ruby, I am a college student, and I absolutely love all animals. I’ve had experience with my own dogs, cats, and I’ve fostered many rescues. I also worked full time at an horse stable, giving me even extra animal care points. I will love your pets unconditionally. As a loving dog owner myself, I understand the connection between dog and owner. I will treat your animals like the kings or queens they are. I am willing to go on amazing adventures with your puppies, or more laid back walks. Whatever your dog needs, I can provide it. I'm more than happy to provide the best for you and your dog. I’m pretty flexible when it comes to weekends, and I am available early mornings or nights on the weekdays.

Ruby was wonderful with my pup! Communication was great throughout the entire stay. Zoe seemed happy and well cared for when I picked her up. I’d recommend Ruby and would definitely book again!

Ruby is one the most animal oriented people I know, going out of her way to save even the smallest of creatures at any point in time. She’s been a loving horse girl since she was just six years old, taking care of, training, and building connections with these beautiful animals in a way I have never seen anyone do before. If I were to trust anybody with my pets it would be her. At home she has a beautiful German shepherd and two cats that she cares for regularly, and even tri-monthly kitten fostering!
