I take the utmost pride and care of your animals while you are away. Their food always comes first. I enjoy morning/afternoon walks and/or cuddles! I also take pride in putting myself on their schedule for their comfort. What you would like me to do, that is what I will do and more! I have experience caring for abused, shy animals as well as animals that may have anxiety or physical limitations. Please message me if you are wondering about my experience with a specific special need that your animal has! I would like to make sure that I am a good fit for their needs and can provide what is necessary for their health and comfort.

Information Ruby S. would like to know about your pet

Before I watch your animals, I require a meet-and-greet. I do care for animals with special needs and special care, so I find it extremely important that we are able to meet face-to-face for your comfort in my services, as well as my ability to get acquainted with your furry family!

A typical day

Each animal is different, but all require the same love and care. A day can consist of sitting around cuddling or taking a long walk/run two or more times each day!

Pet care experience

Note: I am avaliable in Olympia from June through late September. Hello! I have been working with horses for around seven years, and in that time, I have watched and cared for many different types of animals. I am willing to watch, care for, and love on any (and all) animals. I believe that each animal has a different way that they want to be loved. Some dogs are energetic and want to return that ball to you for hours. Others may want to just sit and cuddle for that same time. Each animal has his/her own unique experience in life. Therefore I believe that each individual should be treated differently, but with equal love and attention. I am willing (love) to watch animals that may have abuse in their history, are shy to new people, or may have anxiety, or physical limitations. I have a lot of experience with anxious animals, seizures, and animals with physical limits. I used to have one of my own, now an angel. I require a meet-and-greet before I watch your animal(s), just so I can know exactly where everything is and make sure I can help your animal(s) be as comfortable as possible. A good meet-and-greet also helps me meet the animals that may have more hesitations about meeting me. I can provide additional references upon request! Thank you for your consideration of my services!

Ruby was very kind and responsive the entire time we communicated. She brought up safety precautions during our meet & greet and was overall excellent to work with. My cat Jula was well taken care of by Ruby and I will definitely be rebooking in the future

Thanks very much. Peaches seems like she was relaxed with your company and play. Not stressed at all. Your company and play seems to have been a great help to be comfortable. Just what I wanted for her. Definitely will use you again. Thanks.
