Information Ruby Y. would like to know about your pet

No preferences for breeds, but I would like to know the dog's temperament and if there is anything that the dog likes/doesn’t like so I can make sure the pup is the happiest they can be!

A typical day

As I mentioned earlier, I’m still learning the best spots in the city, but have really enjoyed the freedom that Druid Hill gives and love Federal Hill and Patterson Parks. For something more lowkey, I would choose Canton Waterfront Park. If the dogs are up to date on vaccines and have their city dog license, Patterson Dog Park is a great option too! My own pup, T’Challa, has enjoyed all of the above!

Pet care experience

I’ve been around dogs my whole life and currently help care for 4 of my own at my home in Northern Kentucky, as well as my boyfriend’s dog (that I now co-own!) here in Baltimore. We’ve just recently moved here so we are still learning the spots, but we frequently walk in our neighborhood, down by the harbor, and in Patterson Park. As for cats, we don’t have any currently, but my old house in Louisville had 2 and I’ve grown up taking care of multiple.

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.
