Doggy Day Care • May 23, 2026

My fur baby had a wonderful stay with Ruth and Agnes. They are amazing and professional. Ruth has a lovely home and fenced yard. They helped him adjust to his new furry friends. Ruth sent me an update and photos that let me know my baby was doing fine. We really appreciate it. I would highly recommend them and will be going back again!

Ruth and Agnes took such great care of my Mochi! They sent many pictures and updates of Mochi while I was away and I felt so at ease leaving her there. They were able to give her medicine with no issues as well. Mochi is very spoiled and particular at home and they were able to accommodate all my instructions for feeding and care. Mochi loves it there and gets so excited to go. I highly recommend booking Ruth for any pet care needs.

Ruth and Agnes are simply amazing! I got reassurances when I was missing my pup. Then updates and pictures everyday. I could tell Dustin was spoiled with love. Thank you! Highly recommend anyone looking for a pup sitter.

Ruth and Agnes were so kind and loving to Bailee. They even put coats on her for their cold weather walks. The pictures they sent were magnificent. I had no regrets leaving her with them. I will definitely leave her with them for any future travels.

Ruth was fantastic! I left my sometimes anxious Cockapoo in her care and she kept me very informed and sent pics! She was patient and kind! I would not hesitate to recommend her!!

We would highly recommend Ruth to anyone. She provided excellent care for our pups while we were away on vacation. She sent updated photos the entire time and our pups looked happy and relaxed when we got back. We will definitely book with Ruth again in the future!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced yard and a friendly small senior dog. I only watch one dog at a time so I can provide your furry pup my undivided attention he/she deserves. My home is set up for pet care, with cozy, safe spaces for them to relax, play, and sleep. I create a calm environment with designated play and rest areas, so they feel at ease even when they’re away from home.

Pets

A typical day

I love planning a mix of fun activities to keep them happy and engaged! We’ll go on regular walks, tailored to their energy levels and needs, and explore safe, interesting spots nearby.

16 to 40 lbs
Spayed and neutered dogs only
No females in heat
Ruth can host up to 3 pets per night
Before sitting for a pet, it’s important to learn all I can to provide the best care possible. I typically ask owners about the following: 1. Daily Routine: What’s their usual feeding, walking, and sleeping schedule? 2. Personality & Preferences: Are they shy, playful, or have favorite toys and activities? 3. Health Needs: Do they have any allergies, medications, or specific dietary restrictions? 4. Emergency Contact: Any vet preferences and emergency contacts.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
