Pet care experience

Long time dog lover 💗

I’ve always grown up with dogs and cats, so I have lots of experience caring for both. My mom currently has 3 lab mixes and one of them is, unfortunately, getting up there in age and when I visit her, I try to help as much as I can, so I have experience caring for older dogs. I have one dog of my own who is my best friend! He’s a 6 year old black lab with nonstop enthusiasm for walks, chasing squirrels, and sniffing his way through every park in Baltimore City. He is also a fearless rat patroller! We have had him since he was a puppy, so I have been able to get experience training him and learning to work with, and love, all of his quirks, and I’m excited to do the same for your pets!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

In my own home, our dog has free range over the house! He rules the place and, unfortunately, doesn’t get along with other dogs, so I’m not able to offer boarding services in my home. While I’m at yours or with your pet, I will treat them like my own - lots of love, occasional treats (as many as are okay with you), and whatever else they may need! I’d love to have detailed instructions on how to care for your pet, so I can make sure they are as comfortable as they can be!

What a phenomenal sitter. Our dogs loved her and she cared for them and our home like it was her own. Communicative and great updates! Would 100% use Ruby again.

Ruby was wonderful. She took great care of Minnie. Kept us updated and stayed longer when our flight was delayed.

Ruby was great. Both my dogs were relaxed and happy when I came home and her communication was fast and easy and she was super flexible. Will book again!!

Ruby was prompt and took the pups on a nice long walk, they were resting happily when I got home from work!

We've been using Ruby for a couple of years and she is phenomenal every time. Communicative, on time, our pup is always over the moon to see her. We totally trust her with our dog again and again.

Schedule

I work a normal 40 hr work week, but am happy to fill in to help with your pet needs. I work from home mostly, so outside of my occasional in office days, I’m available to be with your pets through the day during the week! I am always available on the weekends. I have my own dog and a partner who works occasional odd or long hours, so there are times I will have to head back home to check on my own pup!

Please let me know if there are any behaviors or quirks beforehand that I can account for. It’s helpful to know even the smallest things like if your dog doesn’t like to walk a certain route or which toy they like best, so that your pet can be the most comfortable they can be while you are away. Like I said, I love receiving detailed instructions about your pets, so there’s no such thing as too much information 😊
