I like all pets, and I cannot lie

I've been an animal-lover my whole life <3 I've had pets ranging from hamsters, to birds, to turtles, and now a bunny and cat! I have experience caring for senior dogs (my own fur baby was 16 when she passed), and have helped take care of friends' and family's pets.

★★★★★ Exceptional Care - Ruby Went Above and Beyond! I can’t recommend Ruby highly enough! She took care of my two cats, Cashmere and Kitty Kat Dinsky, for two weeks while I was away, and honestly, I couldn’t have asked for better care. Ruby was incredibly communicative throughout the entire time - I received tons of photos and regular progress reports that gave me complete peace of mind while I was traveling. She didn’t just go through the motions; she genuinely gave my cats the attention and care they needed. It was clear she wasn’t just checking boxes but actually connecting with them and making sure they were happy and comfortable. Coming home to two content, well-cared-for cats (and a clean space!) was such a relief. If you’re looking for someone reliable, attentive, and truly caring, Ruby is your person. I’ll absolutely be booking her again for future trips!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Ruby is a fantastic cat sitter — she’s communicative, thoughtful, and patient with my shy cat. Absolutely would recommend.

Ruby was a great cat sitter. She’s quick to respond, responsible and truly went above and beyond by helping clean up kitty throw up as well. I’ll definitely book her again. Thanks for giving me a peace of mind on my vacation, Ruby :)

Pets

A typical day

I love taking walks and going to parks with dogs, especially if they want to play some toss or fetch games! I'm always down to explore new routes so dogs can find different stimulation. Cats each have distinct personalities as well, and I'm happy to play together with their toys or sit with pets on the couch.

Takes only 1 client at a time

Please let me know if your pet has any special needs. Do they like other animals? Are they big sniffers? What's their walking pace like? I love meet-and-greets to meet your pets personally!
